Omar Trinidad takes on Jose Perez in January 27 UFC Fight Pass main event
Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions returns to the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California on January 27 with another Hollywood Fight Nights event headlined by the exiting featherweight prospect Omar Trinidad (14-0-1, 11 KOs), of Boyle Heights, California, and cross-town rival Jose ‘El Mudo’ Perez (11-2-2, 5 KOs), of Oak Hills, California. The 10-round main event tops an internationally broadcast UFC Fight Pass card.
Said Loeffler: “We’re very excited to kick off the New Year with this compelling main event. Omar Trinidad has worked his way up the ranks by taking on all comers. He just fought in The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City and now he’s headlining this show at the Commerce Casino on January 27. He’s in another tough battle against local rival Jose Perez and this fight is sanctioned for the WBC Continental Americas featherweight title.”

Popular in Southern California for his show-stopping knockouts, the all-action Trinidad took his show on the road with a stunning first-round knockout of Andrew Bentley on November 9 in New York City fighting on the Callum Walsh-Ismael Villarreal undercard. The victory was Trinidad’s fourteenth in a row and his sixth knockout in his last seven fights.
“Fighting at Madison Square Garden was an amazing experience,” said Trinidad. “But as soon as I got back home we started preparing for January 27. I’ll be ready to put on another great show against Jose Perez.”
Previously on an 11-fight unbeaten streak, Perez will look to re-enter the win column following a hotly contested eight-round split decision loss to highly touted and undefeated prospect Duke Ragan on October 14, 2023. Perez dropped Ragan in the fifth round of the contest.
Stated Jose Perez, “I’m looking forward to this fight with Omar Trinidad, I’ve known him for a while and will prove that I am the better man on January 27th. I’m looking forward to showing my skills on UFC Fight Pass, I’m definitely going to put on a show for the fans.”
Additional fights for the January 27th event will be announced shortly.
