Ring of Combat 22: MMA Returns to America’s Playground

Ring of Combat promoter and kickboxing champion Lou Neglia has been around the fighting scene for a long time. So it’s no surprise that his promotion, Ring of Combat, kicks up quite a buzz for fans along the east coast. And thanks to three exciting title fights, there will be plenty to talk about when Ring of Combat 22 returns to Atlantic City on November 21st at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. The action begins at 8:30PM.

But let the name fool you, Ring of Combat has been using the widely popular cage since June 27th, when they held their 20th event, also in Atlantic City. Since the use of the cage, fans have continued to flock to the event, many opting for the widely popular bleacher seats. On the bleachers, you’ll also find supporters from local fight camps who have arrived to vocalize their support for a fellow teammate.

The headlining fight features The Ultimate Fighter 7 veterans Paul Bradley and Dante Rivera and both are looking forward to walking away with the Ring of Combat Middleweight belt before the night is over. And as long as Friday’s event doesn’t end like the last Ring of Combat with a disqualification due to an illegal kick to a downed opponent, I don’t see any reason why the crowd will leave the Tropicana without a smile on their happy MMA-loving faces.
