Massenzio, a former amateur state wrestling champion in New Jersey, will take on Miletich Fighting Systems’ product Drew McFedries.

Also officially announced is a bout featuring another newcomer, Jason Brilz, who will be taking on former heavyweight competitor Brad Morris in a bout to be contested at light heavyweight.
