A1 Combat 21 Co-Main Event Breakdown

Memorial Day weekend and A1 Combat events have become an annual holiday tradition since the promotion rebranded from Firepower MMA in the spring of 2022. This week, for the third year in a row, Urijah Faber‘s organization commemorates the extended holiday weekend by holding a card. Just eight days removed from A1 Combat 20 on May 18, the promotion returns to action again on Saturday night for a full night of MMA, plus a special attraction in the main event. A1 Combat 21 (main card 10 pm ET/ 7 pm PT, UFC Fight Pass after prelims at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT on YouTube) is headlined by a combat jiu-jitsu match versing Faber with Jeff Glover. More on that fight later on in the week. All told, 12 fights will be held across the combative disciplines on Saturday night from Visalia Convention Center in Visalia, CA. Headlining the MMA portion of the show is the battle for the A1 Combat Lightweight Championship in the A1 Combat 21 co-main event. Current A1 Combat Lightweight Champion Christian Avalos (4-1 MMA, 3-0 A1 Combat)
