Ring of Combat 87 goes down in the Tropicana Hotel and Casino Showroom Next Friday, September 19. ROC -President, Louis Negoniais an NJ MMA Hall of Famer and a pioneer in the sport. Lou has set up quality cards and helped boys for the UFC Long time. That remains his goal, because he will continue to place some of the best talent on the east coast in his cage and see who can leave with their arm that is lifted in victory and continue to even larger fights and locations. I will be pleased to organize the pre-fighter show and try not to stand in the way of a professor Jay RegalbutoWho will handle the blow-by-blow call with me to the commentary table.
ROC 87 Main Event
ROC 87 will be covered with the latest flight weight champion that is crowned. The title is empty and the main event will be veteran Hector ‘Super Borciua ”Iglesias (3-3) Trying to stop someone see many in a super perspective “Reelless” Ryan Burgos. Ryan is the younger brother of former UFC stand out “Hurricane” Shane Burgos And they have both always represented Team Tiger Schulmann. Reelless has been a demolition machine with stopping in all 5 of his earlier competitions (3 Ammy, 2 Pro) and was only taken beyond the first round. There are good genes in that family and Iglesias has a huge opportunity for the biggest moment of his career and a characteristic victory if he finds a way to get it done and win the championship.
Vecht card …
The Co-Main event is a title elimination fight and has two good weights that are unbeaten. Devan WORTH is 26 years old and 4-0 with 3 finishes and is well trained on Bellmore Kickboxing and transcendering Grappling Academy. Is his opponent Jonathan Dilorenzo. Dilorenzo is 34 years old.

He does his thing David Branch BJJ And Cruz MMA. We will see if the dismissal influences him as one of these warriors will get their first loss.
Donald Arana Has a nice 6-1 amateur record on 145 pounds and has been very active in recent years. Looking at tapology to see his fighting history, you can see that he and his team Longo MMA Had a path that they wanted to follow to reach his pro debut that will come on Friday evening. They will welcome Anthony “Snipes” Georgewith whom trains Terry Gold’s Brooklyn MMA. I have been friends with his coach Terry for years and he has always believed that Snipes has skill and talent at the next level. Some injuries and life issues have delayed the process after George won his debut at ROC 68 in 2019. Terry, Snipes and I had a video chat yesterday and here is a part of what they had to say …
Terry Gold On the dismissal …. ‘Snipes will not have a cage rust, believe me. He has worked extremely hard and his focus is where it should be. This starts our journey to the UFC that we started in 2019. Everyone will see Friday night. “
Snipes George On his matchup … “Nothing but respect for my opponent who has been impressive and trains with a great team. I have to concentrate on what I do best and so I will walk away with the victory. I want to thank my whole team for pushing and having all the extra work, even with the small details, so we can be successful. “
This is a 145 LB tournament championship, so the winner will be rewarded well

Both men and their teams travel from North Carolina. It is very well known to them because they have been putting their talent on ROC -Vecht cards for years. This can be a fight of the night. Both men are exciting and will bring it.
Interview with Cam Scalio below:
In mine “Spotlight Fight of the NightWe have the pro debut of two huge lightweight prospects that you are confronted with. Train with UFC Legend and Hall of Famer, Matt Serra We have from NY Tom Digenanaro That 6-1 is as an amateur and has a legitimate ground game. His opponent was dad was born and bred Cameron Scaliowho nestled in South Jersey and trains with a good friend, former college struggling teammate and current UFC hunter, Other Petroski (12-4). Their team is Marquez MMA who has a long grid from UFC animals and emerging hunters.
They also get the advantage of training with sister schools Team Taino And Webb MMA. You can view my interview with CAM above while he fills us on his path to fight and how he sees this matchup. I presented this specific match-up because I see them as very similar. They have both been very active in recent years with fighting and struggling and both training with some of the best coaches in the world. I hope for an impasse in the Takedowns, and we will be treated to a stand-up struggle, but if it goes to the ground, we will be treated at a very high level of skills at both ends. Philly vs ny … is not getting better.
Ray Longo Is it going to be busy with working corners tonight Demetri “Night Night” Nictas Even seems to his record (2-3) while the flying weight welcomes the challenge of Sergio Rivera They won his pro -debut via the 3rd round RNC break in February. Rivera trains out No KB restrictions, transcend grab and freedom bjj. He absolutely gets a lot of looks.
Juan Vides makes his pro -debut and gets the chance of what revenge as he accepts Marcus “The Blackstar” Reid In a re -adoption of their amateur career. Reid received the W with a 2nd round rear naked choke and has continued to get his pro license and to go 1-1 so far. Reid is easy to remember because he always looks like the happiest man in the building. He has a smile of a million dollars and a lot of great personality to go with it. Doubt that he helps him in the cage, LOL. But there is no doubt that he will be ready with a mentor like Matt Serra. Voids gets his grinding with the Tiger Schulmann crew.
We have 3 amateur fights on the Prelims. It was great to see that the NJ Athletic Control Board adds and evolves some flexibility because NJ cards can now have Pro/AM cards. I was a cage side when amateurs of “The Irish Dragon “Paul Felder, Joe” Bodybagz “Pyfer, Andre Petroski Were pulverizing opponents who make their way through the ranks. You never know who the next “one” is.
Could it be one of these young men. Jalin Willis vs DJ Tirelli 147 LBS .. Nathaniel Smith vs Ryan Sipavicius 154 LBS Joseph KRENKEL vs Jake Chambers 135 LBS
