Ring of Combat returns September 9 with ROC XXXVII. This event has another stacked lineup, something Ring of Combat has become synonymous with, as 3 titles will be on the line as fans from all over the world will be tuning in either in person at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey or on PPV through the GFL Combat Sports Network to watch this exciting card. ROC continues to be the linchpin of East Coast MMA and this 15-bout card reiterates its dominance as the top dog in the Tri-State area.

The main event is really a 3-fight main event as 3 titles will be up for grabs. In one match, Bellator, WEC and IFL veteran Deividas Taurosevicious (12-5) will take on Strikeforce and Bellator vet Jose Santibanez (10-3) for the ROC Featherweight Title. These two 145 lb fighters are two of the top mixed martial artists in the world. The Renzo Gracie protege, Taurosevicious, has 8 victories coming by submission while Santibanez is the type of fighter who wears his opponents downs and grinds out decisive victories through decision. You can bet both men will be pressing the action with a championship at stake so fight fans are in for a real treat when these two warriors square off.

In another main-event caliber fight, undefeated Al Iaquinta (5-0-1) fights Gabriel Miglioli (0-2) for the ROC Lightweight Championship. This fight is coming off the heels of a fight the two had earlier this year, where Iaquinta won via split decision. It was such a close fight, ROC decided to do it one more time, this time with the title at stake. Iaquinta is a Matt Serra trained fighter and a ROC veteran and looks to be a heavy favorite in this 155 lb title fight if you just look at the records. For Miglioli, the ROC brass obviously views him in high regard to turn around and book him in a title fight. Miglioli has an opportunity to pull the upset, defeat an undefeated fighter and win a championship all in one night. Certainly a lot on the line for both fighters and they will be up to the challenge.

The final title that will be on the line is the ROC Light Heavyweight Championship when Tom DeBlass (4-0) battles Mike “No Joke” Stewart (5-2). DeBlass is out of the Renzo Gracie camp and has never tasted defeat. Stewart is a bit more seasoned and has fought through adversity so he should have the experience if the fight goes to the later rounds. Both men are heavy punchers and with 205 lb fighters swinging leather wearing 4 oz gloves, it could be a short night if one of their haymakers connects. Both men are also proficient from the ground and have also won fights by submission, so this fight should be exciting wherever it goes.
