NFC 6: Night of Champions
Sat Feb 4 7:00PM ET
NFC 6 presents Night of Champions on February 4 at the Hocking College Student Center in Nelsonville, Ohio. The 15 bout pro/am card features some of the rising prospects in the Midwest. The mega-card has a total of 7 title fights on the line. You won’t find a show with more championship gold at stake than Night of Champions! If you can’t be there to see it live don’t worry, because the GFL Combat Sports Network is airing it live on pay-per-view.
In the main event, TJ Wash (7-0) fights Rob Hanna (11-2) for the NFC Lightweight Championship. This bout could determine the true champion in the amateur ranks at 155 lb in the state of Ohio. Hanna is a current champion of 4 other organizations within the Buckeye State. Hanna is on a 4-fight win streak, with the last 3 victories being for a title. Hanna has a lot of big fight experience and this should assist him when fighting the upstart, Wash. For Wash, he has never been defeated and looks to add the multi-time champion, Hanna, to his win column. In fact, Wash has stopped all of his 7 opponents, either by KO or submission, so this main event should be “fight of the night”. Whoever comes out the winner here can truly be called Ohio’s best 155 lb amateur MMA fighter.
In the co-main event it is Shane Holbert (3-1) taking on Zack Woltz (6-2) for the NFC Middleweight Championship. For Holbert, he has never been in a fight that goes the distance. He fights with a high risk/high reward style that has seen him finish 3 of his 4 opponents. A well-rounded fighter, he will look to get off to a quick start and test Woltz early on. Woltz has fought at light heavyweight, including having championship experience, so the cut down to middleweight should pay dividends in the strength department. Expect Woltz to look to use his physical advantage to shut down Holbert’s striking and grappling by wearing out the smaller man and trying to put him on his back.
Other championship bouts will be in the Bantamweight, Featherweight, Welterweight, and Light Heavyweight men’s divisions, along with the 135 lb women’s division.
Don’t miss this electrifying event featuring some of the top regional mixed martial arts talents from around the Midwest. There will be plenty of gold to go around as 7 titles will be up for grabs. Watch all of the fights LIVE on February 4 as NFC 6 presents Night of Champions on pay-per-view exclusively at GFL.tv!
Ring of Combat XXXIX
Fri Feb 10 8:30PM ET
Ring of Combat returns February 10 with ROC XXXIX. This event has another stacked lineup, something Ring of Combat has become synonymous with, as 2 titles will be on the line as fans from all over the world will be tuning in either in person at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey or on iPPV through the GFL Combat Sports Network to watch this exciting card. ROC continues to be the linchpin of East Coast MMA and this 15-bout card reiterates its dominance as the top dog of MMA in the Tri-State area.
The main event, ROC Light Heavyweight Champion Tom DeBlass (6-0) defends his title against Randy Smith (13-9-1). DeBlass is an undefeated fighter who trains out of the Renzo Gracie Academy and has improved his overall game with every fight. A strong grappler, DeBlass also has put together a top-notch striking game and looks to show a new layer to his MMA game against Smith. For Smith, riding a 2-fight win streak of his own, he comes into the contest with almost four times the experience as the champion and brings a tough ground and pound game. It will be very interesting to see how the fight plays out as many times, two grapplers will turn into boxers or kickboxers and put on a standup fight. Expect both DeBlass and Smith to first try out their wrestling and submission game to test their opponent. The winner of this bout has to be considered the top 205 lb prospect in the Northeast, which puts him on the radar of the UFC, so that combined with a title fight makes this main event a great fight.
In the co-main event, for the vacant Featherweight Title, Jeff Lentz (8-3-1) battles Giovanni Moljo (4-4) for king of the 145 lb division. Lentz is a Bellator veteran and is coming off 2 wins and 1 draw in his last 3 fights. For the New Jersey native, Lentz, this is the second time he has had the opportunity to go for ROC gold as he lost via decision on his first attempt. Lentz has finished 6 of his 8 opponents and he is ready finish this fight and not leave it in the hands of the judges so expect him to come out guns blazing from the opening bell. For Moljo this is a great opportunity to win gold and a rare no-lose situation. Lentz was supposed to take on former ROC Champion Deividas Taurosevicus but fate turned in the favor of Moljo who now has a chance to shake up the ROC featherweight division with a victory.
In other action, former ROC Welterweight Champion Pete Sell (9-6) is back in action facing Mitch Whitesel (16-20) in a 170 lb scrap. For Sell, this is his first bout since losing the title so it will be interesting to see his gameplan for Whitesel. Will he come out aggressive or tentative? Knowing Sell, it will be full speed ahead. For Whitesel, a veteran of Strikeforce, this is an opportunity to add another well-known name to his list of opponents and prove once again, that he is willing to fight anyone in the business at the drop of a hat. For the winner, a title fight is not too far off so this is a big fight for both men.
You won’t find a more thrilling card then this one. Be sure to catch all of the action LIVE on February 10 as Ring of Combat presents ROC XXXIX exclusively on pay-per-view at GFL.tv.
