Combat Zone is back today with their 81st show which is at the Double Tree in Manchester New Hampshire. There are a total of 17 battles that will be happening tonight which will be sure to please everybody. The main event will be Brendon Marotte and Lionel Young which should be a good back and forth stand up war.
Please follow along as I try my best to keep up with all the action.
