Combat Zone returns with a solid night of action that they will be bringing to the Radisson Hotel in Manchester New Hampshire. The date is Friday, September 29th 2017 and the doors will be opening at 5:30pm. The first fight is set to start at 7pm with a night of mixed martial arts and kickboxing.
There are a total of 13 fights with 5 of them being kickboxing and the rest being MMA. They recently had the main event scratched due to Pilla getting injured but all in all it is still an excellent card. We wish Pilla the best in his recovery! Let me break down the fight card for you all. As usual, I will skip the kickboxing portion but leave it all in the card order. Keep in mind the fight order might change.
135 AM KICK Jack Greene (0-0) Cage Strikers vs. Michael Alfano (0-0) Lucky Devil FC
160 AM KICK Jose Atalies (0-0) BTT vs. Nick Quattrock (0-0) FAA
165 AM KICK Joe Siejkowski (0-0) Title Boxing vs. Isaih Ocasio (1-0) Ocasio's True Martial Arts

135 AM MMA Devon Monty (0-0) Ind. vs. James Ploss (0-1) Kaze MMA
In the first mma match up Devon Monty will be taking on James Ploss at 135 lbs.. Monty is an independent fighter who will be making his amateur debut. His opponent is James Ploss and he trains with Kaze MMA. He comes into this fight with an 0-1 record. He lost his first fight in a controversial battle with NEF in which he let go of the tap in Rd 1 and then later lost in the 2nd round. I am sure he learned a valuable lesson there and will not let it happen again this Friday at Combat Zone 63!
