Unbeaten pro fighter Josh Longood (1-0) has an opponent for his next bout, as officials confirmed earlier today that the Mansfield native is set to take on Jeff Mack (0-0, 11-3 am) at RFO: Big Guns 15 on March 21 in his hometown.
Longood is unbeaten inside the RFO cage dating back to his amateur career, and he is looking to move to 2-0 as a pro after a submission over Lloyd Thornton at Big guns 14 in October. “The Honeybadger” won multiple titles as an amateur, including the RFO featherweight belt and the Turf Wars bantamweight title.
Just 20 years old, Mack is set to make his pro debut just weeks before the scheduled bout with Longood. He posted an impressive 11-3 record as an amateur, including closing things out with a 50-second TKO victory in December. He actually came up short in his only bout under the RFO banner however, as he lost a decision to Aaron Neighbors at Big Guns 14 in October.
The addition of this bout brings the total number of pro fights to the event to three, as flyweights Dennis Brown and Cody Gabelman will square off in one bout, while featherweights Mike Williams and Dustin Kempf will also compete in a featured bout.
