Matrix Fight Night 5 is set for Dubai tomorrow night. The main card consists exclusively of Indian fighters with welterweights Pawan Maan and Sandeep Dahiya rematching in the headline spot.
Maan and Dahiya fought at MFN 3 in 2019. The match ended in a draw and both men will be hoping for a more decisive outcome second time around.
Maan (6-2-1) is coming off a slightly fortuitous stoppage win over Jason Solomon at MFN 4. His opponent was unable to continue after suffering a dislocated wrist.
Dahiya (14-4-1) has not fought since the draw at MFN 3. He is an SFL veteran but will be returning to competitive action after a year long absence.
The co-main event is a lightweight battle. The undefeated Anshul Jubli (3-0) has been matched with the experienced Srikant Sekhar (5-4), the former has appeared on three MFN cards while the latter has fought on two.
Also in the welterweight division Solomon (8-3) will be looking for his first win in nearly three years after suffering losses at MFN 2 and MFN 3. He has been matched with Ravinder Balhara (7-3) who is coming off a first round stoppage win at MFN.
