7X UFC veteran and 5X Strikeforce veteran Joe "Diesel" Riggs ( 30-10 ) returns to RITC action against tough Eric Regan, a veteran of almost 30 MMA fights and the reigning No Limit Fighting Welterweight Champion.

In the Co-Main Event, Joe Cronin, the current RITC Welterweight Champion is relinquishing that title and dropping weight to fight for the vacant RITC LW Title. His opponent is Michael Bailey ( 3-1-1 ) who trains at SUMMA Sports and has 3 straight submission victories.

Two fighters from Las Vegas will venture to Phoenix to take on top Arizona fighters.

In another featured match up, Estevan Payan ( 8-3 ) squares off against Las Vegas fighter Shawn Fitzsimmon ( 5-4 ).
