“Seven Feathers Casino Resort is one of the premiere entertainment venues in the Northwest and we are so excited to be holding our show over there,” said George Dodd. “We have been there three times before with CageSport shows and it’s always been an incredible experience. When Northwest Fight Promotions was created one of the top priorities was returning to Canyonville.”
Fighting out of Arad, Israel, Aronov brings a perfect 6-0 record into his showdown with Loder. Known by his ring moniker “The Israeli Tank,” Aronov is coming off a victory over Mariusz Ksiazkiewicz, who entered the match with an impressive 10-1 mark, by second-round arm-triangle choke at Unified MMA 45 in Alberta, Canada on May 27, 2002.

Prior to embarking on his MMA career, Loder had an extensive background in wrestling, competing collegiately at Northern Iowa University where he is top 10 in three UNI records, including ninth in overall victories, sixth in career winning percentage and fifth in career dual wins and a multiple-time NCAA Championships participant.
