It was special to see the Pacheco brothers side-by-side all week leading up to them being on the same card on Friday. Even on opposite ends of the card (Federico Jr. was the first bout on the main broadcast with Diego as the main event) they were there for one another the whole night. Both also showed out for crowd in attendance and those watching at home.
