Las Vegas-based Resurrection Fighting Alliance will return to Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, Minn., on Friday with another night of mixed martial arts action. The main event of RFA 40 will be a flyweight showdown between Czar Sklavos and Chico Camus, with the winner inching ever closer to a title fight.
Camus, meanwhile, bounced back with a win at RFA 36 in March after being released from the UFC. He suffered back-to-back losses to former flyweight world title challengers Henry Cejudo and Kyoji Horiguchi and went 1-3 in his final four bouts in the Octagon. A win over Sklavos would boost his stock tremendously.
At Thursday’s weigh-ins, both main event combatants came in on point, clearing the way for their headlining scrap. Sklavos tipped the scale at 125.2 pounds while Camus came in at 126.
AXS TV will televise RFA 40 live beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
