“Signing a fighter the caliber of Janelson Figueroa-Bocachica, is a tremendous addition to our roster.”, explains Jesus Kiko Cancel, Fists of Legends Director of Talent Development and Scouting.

To announce the signing of Janelson is the perfect way kick off what will be a breakout year for our company.”
