Call it championship night. When Combat Zone MMA returns to Rockingham Park’s Sports Club on Friday, January 30, three title fights will be on the “Proving Grounds” spectacular all-amateur card.
The main event promises to rock the house with local favorite and undefeated Jake “The Gorilla” Pilla (4-0) defending his Combat Zone amateur featherweight title against Danny Abad (2-3), who invades from Watertown, N.Y.
Combat Zone 52 will introduce the welterweight championship that night and Nick Alley (2-1) takes on JT Harold (4-1) in a battle that should have plenty of fireworks as they vie for the belt.
