Northern Nevada’s premier cage fighting event returns as “Ultimate Reno Combat 36″ premiers live on August 31, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. Voted the #1 Amateur MMA Event in the Nation, URC always showcases the top up and coming fighters from around Nevada and California.
URC 36 will be no different as the very best of the best in the amateur ranks will compete in the cage in a scheduled 10-bout card where Blood Happens! If you can’t be there live in Reno, experience the thrill of every punch, kick, takedown and submission via the comfort of your home. Stream it live on the GFL Combat Sports Network.
In the main event, Erick Sanchez (2-0) battles Chris Hibbitts (5-1). Sanchez holds both his wins with under the URC banner and looks to keep his undefeated streak alive with a victory over the veteran Hibbitts. Sanchez is a heavy puncher but also has the cardio to go three full rounds of intense action and fight at a high pace. Hibbitts is on a 3-fight win streak of his own and the California native looks to give Sanchez the first loss of his career. Hibbitts is a well-rounded fighter who holds wins via KO, submission and decision so he is comfortable anywhere in the cage and will have the experience advantage in the bout.
In the co-main event, Daymond Bland (5-1) fights Andrey Mitchell (4-3-1) for the URC Flyweight Championship. Bland is the champion after winning the belt in his last fight via submission and looks to defend his title for the first time against Mitchell. Bland has won 5 straight and all of his victories have come via KO or submission. Mitchell is coming off of a tough split decision loss in his last bout but can make things right with a win over Bland. Mitchell’s high risk/high reward fighting style always makes him a fan favorite and most observers pick this matchup to steal the show.

COMBAT 8 spent over two years developing a style of combat that could stand as a platform in the middle to bring both Boxers and MMA Fighters together in tournament with a rules system in place that equally assists both sportsmen.
After many hours in gyms and studios filming, training and putting literally hundreds of ideas to the test we believe we have formulated a great style that will show professional athletes at their best competing in an electrifying tournament aimed to attract a new breed of supporter. This style mixed with short explosive rounds is designed to put each fighter against each other for only 3 x 3 minute rounds leaving a competitor no time to waste. This limited time to compete will give the fans two professional fighters at their most explosive. You want to know who would win – you will in less then 15 minutes.
COMBAT 8 was founded in Australia’s Steel City (Newcastle) and is working with other industry leaders in Video, Music, Clothing, Sports Nutrition, Technology and Research to name a few. We are heavily focused on building relationships with other companies to continue to expand our reach and to constantly bring the entertainment to our supporters.
