I’ve never been to Ring of Combat before, but I have been to Battlecage Extreme (same promoter). Local talent is always fun to see, so this is where I’ll be Friday night! I’m looking forward to seeing some TUF alums there as well as some possible up-and-comers. This is a press release from the promoter. Check it out… www.ringofcombat.com

Ring of Combat 27 – Friday, November 20, 2009

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (October 27, 2009) – Mixed martial arts promotion Ring of Combat is proud to announce that its 27th live event will take place on Friday, November 20th at the world-famous Tropicana Casino & Resort.

A proven attraction that has succeeded where most other MMA promotions have failed, Ring of Combat will feature some of the hardest hitting action that Atlantic City has ever witnessed.

For the ROC Heavyweight Championship, Ricardo Romero from Advanced Martial Arts (9-1) will compete against the heavy handed, undefeated Bret Kohan (4-0) from Ricardo Almeida BJJ in what is sure to be an edge-of-your-seat fight. Both fighters already have already held ROC Heavyweight Championship Titles. 4 of Romero’s wins have been by TKO and 4 have been submissions and his only professional loss came from a disqualification due to a head kick to a downed opponent.

Costa Philippou (5-1) from Team Serra Longo will square off against Victor O’Donnell (8-1) from Team Walker Vision MMA for a rematch of the ROC Middleweight Title. Philippou is coming off a 5 fight winning streak. O’Donnell is coming off his first loss to Philippou in a very tight bout many people wanted to see again. Both fighters have knock-out and submission power which will ensure a great matchup.

Finally, Anthony “Mean Machine” Morrison (12-6) of Team Combat will take on Jeff Lentz (5-0) from Pellegrino MMA for the ROC Featherweight Title. The undefeated Lentz is a vicious striker with 4 of his 5 professional wins being by TKO.

Ring of Combat is Atlantic City’s longest running mixed martial arts promotion, and has proven to be a breeding ground for fighters of the next generation. Top fighters who began their careers with Ring of Combat include Matt Serra, Frank Edgar, Josh Koscheck, Kurt Pellegrino, and Phil Baroni.
