The return of J-Rock, on the Barrios vs. Davis undercard on Showtime PPV (with his conqueror Bananaman in the co-featured slot versus Erickson Lubin). He was supposed to return against Dennis Hogan in December to snap a then eleven month layoff and now finally laces up after 17 away from the game since that championship loss. Across the ring will stand Mendoza who rebounded from his own first professional defeat in 2019 (dropping a SD to Larry Gómez) by upsetting Thomas "Cornflake" Lamanna last August on a PBC on Fox card (Lara-Vendetti), only to squander that momentum by having not fought in ten months since.
