Watch the full fight and recap
PHOENIX, AZ, October 23, 2026. Eric Fimbres won two amateur fights under the RUF banner, at RUF 30 and RUF 31 in 2019. Then he left for LFA and spent his entire pro career there. On November 7 he comes back to RUF at RUF 71: Dia de Los Muertos against Trevor Ollison of Malvern, Arkansas at middleweight.
The Tallest Man in the Room
Fimbres (3-2) stands six foot six, huge for 185. He opened his pro career with a 48-second TKO at LFA 119, then stopped Tony Charles on an LFA main card and outpointed Monte Morrison at LFA 188. His last two fights were losses to Adland Benson and Zayne Havener. RUF 71 is his first pro fight outside LFA, and his first time back in a RUF cage since he turned pro.
The Finisher
Ollison (5-6) fights out of Ru Jitsu MMA and has never been to the judges as a pro. All eleven of his professional fights ended inside the distance. All five of his wins are submissions, every one in the first round: three rear-naked chokes, an armbar and a kimura. He made four appearances for CFFC, co-headlined CFFC 111, and has made a habit of taking fights against undefeated prospects. He moves up from welterweight for his first fight since 2023.

Where the Fight Is Won
Seven inches separate them. Fimbres wins at the end of his punches. Ollison wins on the mat, and he usually wins fast. Fimbres's last loss was a rear-naked choke, the same finish Ollison has used three times. If Fimbres keeps it standing and long, the size gap does the work.
