Said Pesoli, “Nacho is a terrific trainer, he’s been with the Marquez brothers their whole careers and they both are outstanding fighters and true warriors in the sport.

We’ve had Abner on our cards in the past and we’re thrilled to bring him back for our fans again. Having Nacho in his corner is a great move for his career.”
