This will be his first time fighting in the Combat Zone cage so let's give him a warm welcome. His opponent is Brian Cosco and he trains with Ironhouse/Sityodtong. He comes into this fight with a 2-4 record with both wins by way of submission. For his losses, he lost 2 by submission and 2 by decision. As you can see they are both pretty even on paper so it should make for a good battle.
170 AM MMA Felipe Neto (0-0) CNBJJ vs. George Demers (0-1) Team Fury
The next fight is between Felipe Neto and George Demers at 170 lbs amateur. Neto trains with CNBJJ and will be stepping into the cage for the very first time. Demers trains with Team Fury and comes into this fight with an 0-1 record. He lost his first fight by ko/tko to strikes to Jordan Faulkner right in the Combat Zone cage at CZ 55. Both fighters are hungry for their first taste of victory and one of them will be the sole victor that night. Who will it be?

Then they have Alex Sinprasith against Brandon Marotte at 145 lbs. Alex trains with Crowsnest MMA and comes into this fight with a 6-12 record. In the win column he has 1 by ko/tko, 3 by submission, 1 decision and 1 by DQ. For his losses, he lost them all across the board and this will be his second time stepping into the combat zone cage. His opponent is Brandon Marotte and he trains with PMA. He comes into this fight with a 1-1 record with his sole win by ko/tko. His only loss came by way of submisison against Fernando Lopez. Alex has the more experience in the cage but I have seen Marotte and he can handle the experience no problem. I see this one going the distance in a close battle.
155 AM MMA Taylor Costantino (2-1) Team Irish vs. Gerald Meuse (3-1) Sityodtong
Next battle is between Taylor Costantino and Gerald Meuse at 155 lbs. Taylor trains with Team Irish and comes into this fight with a 2-1 record. He just won his last fight against Frank Johanson at the last NEF by ko/tko. He is looking to continue that streak this Friday. His opponent is Gerald Meuse and he trains with Sityodtong. He comes into this fight with a 3-1 record with 1 ko/tko and 1 submission. He lost his last bout by decision against John McAndrews in an awesome fight. I am hoping in this fight they bring it and I see it being a stand up battle.
175 PRO MMA Connor Barry (1-0) FAF vs. Wayne Harnois (3-15) Brute Force MMA
This fight was literally just saved late Wednesday night as Connor Barry found himself opponentless and thankfully Wayne Harnois has stepped up on just a few days notice! Barry trains with FAF gym and comes into this fight with a 1-0 record. He won his first pro fight by decision against against Pete San Antonio in a bloody war at a previous Combat Zone event. His opponent is Wayne Harnois and he trains with Brute Force MMA. He comes into this fight with a 3-15 record with all 3 wins by way of submision. For his losses, he lost many by submission and ko/tko to strikes. Barry should win this one but much respect to Wayne for stepping up to the plate last minute to save the fight for Combat Zone.

At 185 lbs Jordan Faulkner will take on John McAndrews for the Combat Zone amateur title. Faulkner trains with Spero's and comes into this fight with a 2-0 record with both wins by ko/tko. His opponent is John McAndrews and he trains with Gate City. He comes into this fight with a 4-1 record with 2 wins by ko/tko, 1 sub and 1 by decision. His only loss came by a decision to Sean Evans at a previous CFX show. This fight is going to be an awesome as these two behemoths collide. Both of them are grinders and I am excited to see how Jordan does in his toughest fight to date and how he handles if the fight goes deep in the rounds. I see this one being a takedown and ground battle.
