This past weekend, Ring of Combat 87 was another great show for the record books

It had it all, packed house with great fights! Two new ROC champions were crowned, Ryan Burgos and William Alexander. We had KOs , submissions, decisions all in the name of great competitive bouts. Some of the best camps on the MMA circuit today sent their talented fighters who brouthg their ‘A’ game which in turn, excited the fans throughout the night with high levels of electricity. ROC always has and will continue to have the reputation of having competitive fights and competitive fights make great fighters.

 

We are very proud of the fact we have over 160 ROC alumni going to the UFC with 7 becoming world champions.

Matt Serra, Chris Weidman, Frankie Edgar, Eddie Alvarez, Charles Olivera, Aljamain Sterling, and Merab Dvalishvili have all stepped foot on the Ring of Combat canvas and went on to UFC glory. No other promotion can boast of those accomplishments.

 

Lou’s next two events for 2025 will be:

October 18th at The Space in Westbury Long Island NY

December 5th ROC 88, Pro/Am MMA at the Tropicana in Atlantic City
