Fighting for MMA pioneer and former world kick boxing champion, Louis Neglia, at the best regional show in the country, is a big deal.

Well over 100 fighters have gone on to the UFC after honing their skills at Ring of Combat.

I talked to the owner/head trainer at Brooklyn Mixed Martial Arts, Terry Gold to ask him about his thoughts on the upcoming Ring of Combat 56 co-main event battle between his fighter and the defending champ Buenafuente.

LISTEN BELOW:

Gold has established a great training facility in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, where he currently has a dozen or so fighters actively competing. This is an excellent opportunity for Nekruz and Brooklyn MMA to make a mark and get their name in lights.

Mirkhojaev has a tough task as Buenafuente is on a roll at 6-2 with 5 straight wins including capturing the belt in his last fight against Jose Mariscal.  Gold was gracious to Frankie and the mixed martial arts community.
