Fury FC is back at Escalade 2001 in Houston, Texas to bring you Fury FC 67. After hosting the last two events outside the Lone Star State, the promotion makes its way back to Houston for a featherweight championship bout between Nate Richardson and Huseyn Aliev.
Richardson (9-3-0) is the current featherweight champion after winning his first fight for the promotion against Diego Lopes by split decision. Even with only one fight in Fury FC, Richardson has plenty of combat sports experience. He’s currently on the WAKO USA kickboxing team and has even fought for Glory Kickboxing in the past. He looks to defend his title in the main event tonight when he takes on “The Azeri Warrior”. Aliev (13-4-1) has trained all around America for the opportunity to put his home country of Azerbaijan on the map. So far he’s won both of his fights in Fury FC and after making championship weight this time around we now have a true Fury FC featherweight title fight. Aliev is looking for a big win tonight that can bring him one step closer to becoming the first Azeri UFC fighter.
The co-main features a very high-level flyweight scrap. In a fight for all the bragging rights, Paris Moran (7-1-0) takes on Joshua Van (5-1-0) to see who the best flyweight in Texas truly is. Both fighters have fought their entire pro career for Fury FC and even fought as amateurs for them as well. Originally a bantamweight, Moran has been flawless since making the move down to flyweight winning all 6 of those fights. Van, on the other hand, has spent his whole career in flyweight and has gotten the finish in all 5 of his pro wins so far.
The main and co-main events are official for #FuryFC67
