Sadriddin Akhmedov vs Elias Espadas

Unbeaten junior middleweight contender Sadriddin Akhmedov, originally from Astana, Kazakhstan, is set to face Elias Espadas on Saturday, April 19, at the Commerce Casino. The 15-0 (13 KOs) Akhmedov—trained by Abel Sanchez and promoted by Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions—will meet Mexico’s Espadas (23-6, 16 KOs) on UFC Fight Pass.

Now 27 and based in Big Bear, California, Akhmedov made his U.S. debut in August, dispatching Antonio Todd in a single round at the Chumash Casino Resort. He returned to the same venue in December, where he stopped Raphael Igbokwe in seven.
