Mando Gutierrez Wants to be First Homegrown Lights Out Talent to Reach UFC

Mando Gutierrez will look to improve his professional MMA record to 3-0 Saturday when he takes on debutant Adam Kehr at Lights Out Championship 7. The featherweight bout could carry important implications for the Michigan regional scene.

Both Gutierrez and Kehr had strong amateur runs. Although Kehr is making his pro debut, Gutierrez said he’s not taking his opponent lightly. Gutierrez wanted the fight as a means to motivate him to train harder and take that extra step.

“The only thing that’s bad about the fight to me is I wanted to fight him when he had a couple of wins under his belt,” Gutierrez told MMASucka.
