Rocktagon XXVI: Veni, Vidi, Vici Results



Rocktagon XXVI: Veni, Vidi, Vici

Rocktagon MMA Worldwide brought the latest installment of people doing battle in the Rocktagon went down at The Agora in Cleveland, Ohio last night with an exciting fight card for Rocktagon XXVI: Veni, Vidi, Vici.

The main event put Kettering, Ohio native, Tyler "Superman" Combs against Micah "Maverick" Miller. Miller is the brother of TUF5 and UFC veteran, Cole Miller, and has fought in several promotions like the XFC, DREAM, and the WEC. Combs has fought for several local/regional promotions since turning pro, and his fight previous to this event was when he faced Andrew Osborne at Complete Devastation 6 in Clearfield, Pennsylvania back on September 15, 2012. 

Also on the fight card was Complete Devastation 5 veteran, Darryl "The Magic Man" Madison who faced Micah "Mayhem" Bender. The main event of the Amateur portion of the fight card put Daniel "The Assassin" Coffman against James "The Hybrid" Pfeiffer. Also in action was Coffman's brother, Jonathan "Leviathan" Coffman - who helped start the action off with the first fight of the night against Chris Fortune. The co-main event of the night was "Animal" Andrew Cseh Vs. Jordan Espinosa.Two fights from the fight card didn't happen were Lauren Stoffel Vs. Janel Krafft and Winston Witherow Vs. Ray “Crazy” Hollis

The event was held at the famous Agora Theatre and Ballroom (commonly known as "The Agora") which has been the venue for some famous bands as well as local favorites over the years. Many bands such as Grand Funk Railroad, ZZ Top, Ratt, Glass Harp, and The Raspberries have played at the Agora. 

The band American Wi-Fi played the intermission between the amateur and professional portions of the fight card.

Rocktagon MMA broadcasts events via GFL.TV on the internet and on television via Comcast's Sportsnet. During the GFL live feed I was watching it was announced that Rocktagon MMA signed a deal with Canada's "The Fight Network" to get the Rocktagon MMA events aired on that network, possibly on a weekly basis. I have Dish Network and part of my programming package is the "Pursuit Channel" (channel 240 on Dish Network) and on Monday nights they air 2 hours of programming from The Fight Network. The shows "Best of DEEP" (a Japanese MMA promotion) and "Texas Fight Night" (showing fights throughout Texas, but mostly from the Corpus Christi area) are HUGELY successful - and I have my DVR set so that I don't miss a single episode! Hopefully they will add the Rocktagon MMA fights to this line-up so that I can see previous fights/events on my TV every Monday night!

The event can be purchased on GFL.tv for $9.99 and you own the event for LIFE and can replay it whenever you want. The link for this event at GoFightLive is: http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/MMA/Rocktagon_MMA_XXVI___Veni_Vini_Vici/1914
