Zuffa Boxing 08 Full Card Announced

Zuffa Boxing today announced the preliminary card for ZUFFA BOXING 08: DE LOS SANTOS VS. VALENZUELA 2 on Sunday, June 28, at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The five-fight undercard will start at 5 pm ET/2 pm PT ahead of the three-fight main card kicking off at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT.

The preliminary card is topped by a pair of evenly matched showdowns featuring four emerging talents. Unbeaten Las Vegas native Floyd Diaz (14-0, 3 KOs ) takes on his stiffest challenge to date against Mexico’s Andres Teran (18-2, 13 KOs) in a 10-rounder at bantamweight. Diaz bested Guillermo Gutierrez by decision at Zuffa Boxing 01 in January, while Teran enters his Zuffa Boxing debut on a 10-fight winning streak.

And, in an eight-round lightweight contest, a pair of unbeatens return when Hawaiian puncher Jaybrio Pe Benito (7-0, 5 KOs) fights Tony Hirsch Jr. (8-0-2, 4 KOs). Pe Benito shined on Zuffa Boxing 03 with a stunning third-round stoppage over Abel Mejia, while Hirsch is coming off an upset decision victory over Robert Meriwether III on Zuffa Boxing 05 in April. 

The other preliminary bouts are as follows:

• Damoni Cato-Cain (9-1-2, 7 KOs) vs. Vernon Brown (14-2-1, 10 KOs) – 8 Rounds, Welterweights

• Brady Ochoa (9-0-1, 2 KOs) vs. Adrian Serrano (6-0-2, 3 KOs) – 6 Rounds, Lightweights, Rematch

• Jakhongir Zokirov (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Zachary Spiller (5-0, 4 KOs) – 6 Rounds, Heavyweights

As previously announced, the 10-round lightweight main event features Dominican standout Edwin De Los Santos (17-2, 15 KOs) against Mexico’s Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela (15-3, 9 KOs) in a rematch of their 2022 barnburner, in which De Los Santos rose from the canvas to score a third-round knockout. In the 10-round featherweight co-feature, Los Angeles native Omar Trinidad (20-0-2, 14 KOs) will face Filipino former world champion Jerwin Ancajas (38-4-2, 25 KOs), while action star “Sugar” Cain Sandoval (17-1, 15 KOs) fights Brandun Lee (30-0, 23 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight bout.
