This news just in:

Aaron Wetherspoon is unable to fight due to injury. Replacing Aaron will be Jaime Jara who is the current Gladiator Challenge Middleweight Champion. He will be dropping weight to fight the current Gladiator Challenge Welterweight Champion Jeremiah Metcalf at a catch weight of 175 lbs. in a non-title bout.

Regarding the fight, Jaime Jara stated, “I took this fight on two days’ notice but it won’t matter because I am always in the gym, always training anyway. I am very excited to get the chance to fight on SHOWTIME. He sees himself as a fast guy. So do I. Let’s see if I can slow him down a little.”

Jeremiah Metcalf does not seem shaken by the change in his opponent, saying “Fighting a late replacement means I have to change up my game plan but it is not a big deal because I am in great shape and prepared for anything. We are both fast-paced guys, so this should make for a really exciting, fast-paced fight. Fighting on SHOWTIME is a tremendous opportunity for me and a way for me to get a whole lot of exposure and get my name out there.”

Their encounter is reported to be five rounds of five minutes, though it is not a title bout as originally planned.
