The Ring of Combat 69 main event will feature a middleweight championship battle between Matthew Foster and Joe “Bodybagz” Pyfer.
Pyfer has been spectacular in all five of his fights thus far with four finishes and a dominant one-sided decision. He brings an army of fans and they will surely be on their feet when he comes to the cage trying to take another step into his bright career. Foster has 10 wins to his credit and looks to quiet the crowd.
The co-main event features a superfight at 145 lbs between Matt Probin (4-0) and “The Jaguar” Tim Dooling who is 7-5 but has fought all of the top competition regionally and only been stopped once. This could steal fight of the night.
Another name to watch out for is Lenny “The Gorilla” Rufati. Lenny has relocated out to Wisconsin and trains with the monsters at Roufusport. Rufati has started out quickly at 3-0 and faces the very talented Troy Green (1-0).
