Military veterans and international martial artists clash in Costa Mesa, streaming live on TrillerTV! Uppercut Promotions, in association with SOCA Fights, presents International War Games — The Ultimate Battle live from The Hangar in Costa Mesa, California. Featuring military branch representatives from across the globe competing in high-stakes MMA action, the card is headlined by two championship clashes and a slate of hard-hitting feature fights. The main event features a championship showdown for the International War Games Lightweight Belt, where US Army veteran Patrick Benson (8-10) collides with Russian Army combatant Adlan Mamaev (7-2) in a 3-round 155 lb battle. Benson brings veteran grind, high-volume wrestling, and cage control to defend home turf against Mamaev, a lethal Russian Army striker known for explosive takedown defense and heavy hands. The clash pits Benson's military endurance against Mamaev's sharp finishing instincts with the inaugural title hanging in the balance. In the co-featured bout, the Tequila Mandala Young Championship is on the line as US Air Force representative Ryan Fillingame (6-5) meets Mexican Army veteran Jose Aguayo (5-2) at 150 lbs. Air Force veteran Fillingame relies on technical out-fighting, rapid footwork, and tactical counters to break down opponents over 3 rounds. He faces a relentless forward-marching pressure fighter in Aguayo, who brings aggressive Mexican Army combat conditioning, heavy body strikes, and close-quarters grappling into the cage. The featured women's strawweight bout delivers a clash of combat styles between US Marine Corps representative Leslie Hernandez (5-4) and Cuban veteran Katie Perez (7-11). Hernandez relies on Marine grit, forward pressure, and power strikes to dictate distance. She faces a seasoned submission technician in Perez, a veteran who possesses a dangerous submission game and looks to drag the fight to the canvas against Hernandez's heavy hands. Rounding out the card are three additional military branch matchups. At featherweight (140 lbs), US Marine James Settle (5-7) squares off against Brandon Carrillo (4-5) of the Special Forces of Mexico. In strawweight action, US Marine Corps debutant Edith Gutierrez faces Daniela Aguayo (0-1) of the Czech Republic Army. Opening the night at 140 lbs, US Marine Faustino Alonzo makes his professional MMA debut against Ecuadorian Army representative David Rojas (1-2).
