On Friday night, Jorge Masvidal’s iKON FC will air iKON FC 2. It marks the second event of the promotion at the Miami Airport Convention Center in Miami, Florida. iKON FC 2 is set to air live on UFC Fight Pass where the action will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

iKON FC 2 Main Event

The main event of iKON FC 2 is a middleweight clash between Aaron Highbaugh (9-5) and undefeated prospect SD Dumas (5-0).

Aaron Highbaugh is once again headlining the card, coming off a tough unanimous decision loss to UFC veteran Jared Gooden. The Indiana fighter still has capabilities of finishing a fight before the bell, however, as he has won five of his nine victories before the final bell could sound off.

He holds three victories by stoppage and two by submission. The 36-year-old fighter is known for his stints at Honor FC and Colosseum Combat, as well as high-profile fights with UFC combatant Khaos Williams and a win over Bellator veteran Josh Streacker.

SD Dumas is an undefeated prospect with high-level striking skills. He is coming off a big win against DeWitt Dixon at Jorge Masvidal’s iKON FC 1 by way of a head kick knockout in the first round.

Dumas, now fighting his sixth professional bout and second under the promotion, looks to get a major win over a strong veteran challenger looking to bounce back off a loss, as Highbaugh aims to derail the rise of the Pensacola fighter.

iKON FC 2 Co-Main event

The iKON FC 2 co-main event will feature a high-level bantamweight clash between Keith ‘The Rockstar’ Richardson (21-11) and Hunter Azure (9-2).

Richardson has faced top-level fighters such as Charles Rosa and Nate Landwehr. With 32 fights under his belt, Richardson comes into the bout with much more experience as well as the momentum of a three-fight win streak.

Azure, though only 11 fights to his name, comes out of the highly-decorated Fight Ready camp in Arizona. Azure finished a brief stint in the UFC, going 2-2 with his wins coming against Brad Katona and Cole Smith. What makes Azure a tough opposition is his athletic ability.

Also on the card is a bantamweight clash between Eduardo Diez (8-1) and Justin Scoggins (12-6); a catchweight bout between Alexey Fedorees (2-0) and Amun Cosme (3-0); and a lightweight bout between Nicholas Maupin (2-2) and Alexander Schenk (1-1).
