Full slate of competition due for February fight night
559 fight

After a statement-making close to 2025, the Central Valley’s 559 Fights is launching into the new year with 559 Fights 121, taking over the Visalia Convention Center on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026.

Featuring a championship-stacked main card with four title fights, 559 Fights 121 is shaping up to be one of the most electrifying events in the promotion company’s history. The night showcases elite regional talent, rising stars, and future standouts, reinforcing 559 Fights as one of the sport’s most dangerous proving grounds.

“The next generation of fighters is being built right here in Central California,” said 559 Fights CEO Jeremy Luchau. “And they’re proving it inside the 559 Fights cage. There’s no better platform to develop.”

 

Featherweight Gold On The Line

In the main event, Clovis’ Johnny Diaz (6-3) defends the 559 Fights Featherweight Championship against Fresno’s Erique Arroyo (4-2) in a matchup fueled by speed, pressure, and Central Valley pride.

Diaz captured the title with a dominant unanimous decision over German Taboada at 559 Fights 118 and now looks to solidify his reign. Standing in his way is Arroyo, who steps into the biggest opportunity of his career, aiming to seize championship gold and claim bragging rights in a rivalry that’s been building for years.

“There isn’t a hotter fight we could make,” Luchau said. “These guys push a relentless pace, and the fans are going to feel every second of it.”

 

Flyweight Fireworks In The Co-Main Event

The co-main event delivers pure chaos at 125 pounds as Fresno’s Sajin Zacarias (6-1) puts the 559 Fights Amateur Flyweight Championship on the line against Madera’s knockout artist Paul Furr (4-2).

Zacarias enters looking to make the first defense of his second title reign after earning the belt with a unanimous decision victory over Johnny Reyes. Across the cage, Furr brings explosive power and confidence following a first-round knockout at 559 Fights 119, a performance that earned him Performance of the Night honors.

“These are two of the most dangerous flyweights in the state,” said Luchau. “This fight has been on my radar for over a year, and it’s finally happening.”

 

Undefeated Vs. Undenied

Adding to the championship spectacle, undefeated Madera standout Gabriel Sanchez (4-0) puts his perfect record on the line against Coalinga’s Israel Aldama (2-1) for the 559 Fights Super Lightweight Championship.

Sanchez, the reigning 559 Fights 2025 Rookie of the Year, has stormed through the division and now looks to cap his rise with championship gold. Aldama enters with momentum of his own, coming off a unanimous decision victory and hungry to derail the hype train.

 

Welterweight Title Showdown

In the featured bout of the night, Fresno’s Ryan Fiorentino (4-0) defends the 559 Fights Amateur Welterweight Championship against Madera’s Augie Garcia (3-1) in a clash of elite wrestling pedigrees and finishing instincts for these former Division I wrestlers.

Fiorentino claimed the title with a lightning-fast first-round rear-naked choke at 559 Fights 118 and now seeks his first successful defense.

Garcia, a fellow D-I wrestling alum, brings the grit and pressure needed to test the undefeated champion in what promises to be a physical, high-octane battle.

With championship gold on the line, rivalries colliding, and the next wave of MMA talent ready to break out, 559 Fights 121 is primed to deliver a night fans won’t forget.
