Hawaii’s own Lowen Tynanes will battle the seasoned vetrean Felipe Enomoto. Tynanes has already made a big impression by winning fights against top opponents in the Philippines, Japan, and Malaysia. This High School Wrestling Champion silenced the home crowd in Manila when he incapacitated Eduard Folayang with a vicious elbow which caused the doctor at ring side to call a holt to the action instantly at URCC22 “Universal Reality Combat Championships”.

In his last outing Tynanes won the King of the cage World Lightweight Title over Kris Armbrister early in the First round by submission. Tynanes also defeated South African Fighter Vuyisile Colossa via Rear-Naked Choke at One FC 7. With finishes in his last three fights, Tynanes has continued to step up to the level of his opponents as he furthers his career.

Two surging featherweights will collide at UFC 160, promotion officials announced Thursday, as Dennis Bermudez faces Max Holloway.

UFC 160 takes place May 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a heavyweight title rematch pitting reigning champion Cain Velasquez against former EliteXC belt holder Antonio Silva. The evening’s main card will also see four heavy hitters lock horns, as Mark Hunt faces Junior dos Santos and James Te Huna meets Glover Teixeira.

Bermudez, 26, rides a three-fight winning streak heading into his showdown with Holloway. “The Menace” introduced himself to UFC fans as a member of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 14 before falling to Diego Brandao at the live finale in December 2011. The prospect has since gone unbeaten, notching wins over Pablo Garza, Tommy Hayden and Matt Grice, whom Bermudez most recently topped in a “Fight of the Night” winning bout at UFC 157 last month.

Like his foe, Holloway has also won three straight fights, posting a 3-1 record last year. After submitting to Dustin Poirier in his Octagon debut, Holloway, 21, thoroughly outpointed Pat Schilling before knocking out “TUF 14” vet Justin Lawrence last August. Most recently, “Blessed” edged the hard-swinging Leonard Garcia in a Dec. 29 split decision at UFC 155.
