Jerome Rivera 25 year old top southwest flyweight prospect is fighting Luis Rodriguez. Flyweight match up I’m looking forward to but more looking forward to Rivera.
Legacy Fighting Alliance wins, Defeating tough flyweight prospects will get him the win tonight. Lost to Brandon Royval but looks to revenge his loss if signs with the UFC.
“I think for me the key to victory is staying composed, fighting like a professional, seeing everything coming at me, and sticking to my game plan. If I strike the way I should and grapple the way I’m planning to, execute my game plan, I think it’s going to be a good night for me.”

Continuing his two fight winning streak to a three fight winning streak. Flyweight division needs talented flyweights and Jerome Rivera is definitely one fighter UFC needs to sign. Dream come true for all UFC Fighters.
“It would just be a dream come true,” Rivera said. “It would just really feel like all this hard work, all those hours spent in the gym, all the hours away from my family and friends, it would just give me that sense of accomplishment. Like, ‘OK, this was all for a good reason.’ Even if I don’t get to the UFC, I told everybody, like, if this is my last fight on (Tuesday), I’m just very thankful for this.
