Fight Club OC continued its successful foray into 2026 with another incredible show from the Hangar at the OC Fair & Events Center in Costa Mesa, CA on April 9th. The card showcased 6 incredible bouts of fistic fury, with each one ratcheting up the anticipation until we reached our Tequila Mandala Young Champions bout.
Starting the proceedings was a 4 round, Super Welterweight boxing match featuring Las Vegas’s Nikolai Terteryan 2-0 (2KO) taking on Whittier’s rugged Josias Gonzalez 2-7-2. These warriors met in ring center and Terteryan stalked Gonzalez around the ring. Early in the round he even scored a knockdown. However, Gonzalez got up and proved he was tough as nails by surviving the round. He made into the second and even kept Terteryan honest by landing some solid punches. However, Terteryan is a tank and he kept applying pressure and eventually cornered and took out Gonzalez in the third.
Staying with boxing, Super Welterweights, and 4 rounders, we saw San Diego’s Alex Herrada 2-0 vs. Pomona’s Brian Sandoval (0-1) who was making his pro debut. These 147 pounders met in ring center and just pounded it out. It didn’t take Herrada long to figure out his opponent and then he started tattooing him with a multitude of punches from all angles. He literally pounded him across the ring and then laid into him on the ropes. The referee eventually decided he’d seen enough and the bout was halted in the first.
The strictly MMA fans were really excited to see Hemet’s Hector Porras (0-1) make his Bantamweight pro-debut against Jacksonville’s Latrell White 3-1-0 in a 3 round bout. The action began furious and it stayed that way with Porras and White essentially trading on their feet AND on the ground for the entirety of the first round. In the second, White blitzed his foe with a short shot on the inside and Porras never recovered. He tried to avoid a multitude of shots, but his equilibrium was gone and he was punched into submission. Great effort by both warriors!
Moving back into boxing, Welterweight Oscar Trujillo 4-0-2 (2KOs) from Riverside battled Palmdale’s Chistopher Gonzalez 2-3 (2KOs) in a 4 round, phone booth affair. These welterweights literally engaged in a close quarters fight from the opening bell. They traded punches from the middle of the ring, along the ropes, and everywhere in between. Every round was a carbon copy of the last with each fighter unwilling to give ground. In the end, Trujillo did more volume punching than Gonzalez and that’s what got him the nod in the eyes of the judges.
We returned to MMA for our co-main event that saw Gardena’s Natalie Schlesinger 3-3-1 take on Shino Vanhoose 6-7-1 from Las Vegas in a 3 round, Flyweight affair. These two gladiators gave it everything they had. They mixed ground and pound with take downs, and of course A LOT of striking. The first round saw them standing up for the majority of the stanza. Towards the end, there were takedowns with each fighter having their moments. Both combatants continued this way from the second to the third, and eventually when the scores were tallied the bout was declared a draw.
This night’s 4 round, Tequila Mandala Young Champions bout happened in the Super Middleweight division when Elliot Taylor 4-0 (4KOs) battled Marc Mendoza 0-2 from Menifee. It didn’t take long for Taylor to drop his foe with hard shot. The referee let the combatants continue but the bout was waved off by someone from the commission who felt Mendoza wasn’t ready to continue.
