The main event of Saturday’s 559 Fights 54 will be a vacant amateur bantamweight title fight as Devon Chavez will return to mixed martial arts competition for the first time in nearly two years when he meets Anthony Jimenez on the fight card coming from the Visalia Convention Center in Visalia, California.
Chavez (3-2) enters this fight following a submission defeat against Holt Felkins at 559 Fights 35 in May of 2015 and the defeat snapped a three fight winning streak. All of Chavez’s fights have come in 559 Fights and two of his three wins have come by decision.
During last week’s episode of “The MMA Report Podcast,” Chavez was a guest on the podcast to preview his title fight on Saturday against Jimenez in the main event of 559 Fights 54.
