Undefeated Mexican welterweight Santiago "Somer" Dominguez will be going for his 21st pro victory and 17th knockout on Thursday, January 30th on the first 2020 installment of RJJ Boxing on UFC Fight Pass. Dominguez (20-0, 16 KOs), fighting out of Fort Worth, Texas, takes on former Brazilian champion Vitor "La Amenaza" Jones Freitas (16-5, 10 KOs) in the eight-round, co-feature The ten-round main event will see Ernesto Delgadillo (11-0-2, 2 KOs) will tangle with Jade "Hurricane" Bornea (14-0, 10 KOs) in the super flyweight division.

 

The exciting Dominguez, 28, has increased the level of opposition since fighting on RJJ Boxing cards in two of his three four fights. The big puncher stopped 17-2 Ravshan Hudaynazarov in the first round, and 23-9-2 Fabian Lyimo in the second.

 

Riding an eight-fight KO streak, Dominguez faces an experienced challenger who has been in tough against IBF lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez, Jamaine Ortiz, Enriko Gogokhia and Canadian favorite Sebastian Bouchard. "I feel that either hand has knockout power," Dominguez said, "but I could damage all my opponents during the early part of my career with precise left hook to the body. Now, my physical training continues to improve power ion both my hands.

 

Dominguez had a 62-4 amateur record with 36 knockouts. His strict father kept Santiago sway from bad influences in their native Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. He turned pro in 2014, immediately displaying power in both hands. "My opponent has smaller but quicker hands," Dominguez added. "I assume he will try to move rather than stand in front of me. I am working with some faster guys right now to prepare. He is really open to an over-hand right. In 2020, I plan to fight often and train hard in the USA. There are many great fighters in the division, but I am preparing and ready to win a championship if given the opportunity"

   

Delgadillo, fighting out of Dallas, is a former Texas State flyweight titlist, who will be fighting for the first time since the summer of 2018.

 

The Filipino Bornea will be fighting in the United States for the first time.
