Matrix Fight Night 12 is set for Uttar Pradesh on July 1st. There will be three title bouts on the card which all feature Indian fighters defending their belts against foreign opponents.
Puja Tomar (7-4) will be making the first defence of the strawweight title she won at Matrix Fight Night 10. The ONE Championship veteran will be looking to make it four wins in a row when she faces China’s Feier Huang (11-6).
Sanjeet Budhwar (9-2) will be making the first defence of his featherweight title but faces a big step up in terms of the quality of his opponent. He has been matched with UAE Warriors veteran Mochamed Machaev (13-1) who will be representing Austria.
Angad Bisht (9-3) will be making the first defence of his flyweight title and going in search of his fifth straight win. He has also been handed a very difficult looking bout against Brazilian Hugo Paiva (6-1).
