The inaugural episode of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series will take place on July 11 in Las Vegas and the co-main event of the fight card will be a heavyweight bout as Greg Rebello will meet Azunna Anyanwu.
Rebello (22-7) has won six of his last seven fights and is coming off a submission victory against Kevin Sears at CES MMA 44 in May. This will be his third fight in 2017 and his last five victories have come by either TKO/KO or submission.
During last week’s episode of “The MMA Report Podcast,” Rebello was a guest on the podcast to preview his fight next week against Anyanwu and explained that he knew at some point he would cross paths with Anyanwu.
