Warrior Nation Fight Series 42: 3 Reasons to Watch on FloCombat
Warrior Nation Fight Series 42 takes over FloCombat Saturday, Oct. 22. Here's why you need to tune in for this action-packed event.
On a Saturday lacking any events from the major combat sports promotions, Warrior Nation Fight Series staves off MMA fans’ desire for fights.
WNFS 42: OktoberFist takes place Sat., Oct. 22 in Sandusky, Ohio, and the fights will be live streamed only on FloCombat.
The 11-fight card kicks off at 6 p.m. CDT, featuring Ohio’s top amateur up-and-comers. Here are three reasons to watch Warrior Nation Fight Series 42.
There’s just something special about amateur heavyweights. The quick knockouts, the rock 'em, sock 'em technique, the fear the front row fans have over whether or not the cage wall can support such a massive combined weight—it’s all part of the appeal of watching amateur big men throw down!
At WNFS 42, the heavyweight title is on the line, and reigning champion Kaleb Raymond (4-4) is taking on Jonathan Martin (2-1).
Since losing three straight fights in 2013, Raymond has put together a nice string of wins. The 24-year-old fighter defeated Ben Miller by decision, then submitted Kyle McClain in his most recent victory at WNFS 36.
Martin will come into this fight without the support of the crowd, as Raymond was born and raised in Upper Sandusky. Like the champion, however, the challenger is also riding a two-fight win streak. In his last outing, he submitted Cory Burch in the second round at WNFS 40.
Which of these fighters is going to walk out of the cage with gold around his waist? Log in to FloCombat Saturday night and watch WNFS 42 to find out.
Let’s be honest: If you’re here on FloCombat, then you’re probably more than a casual MMA fan. Hardcore fans already have committed so much time to this sport that a Saturday night without any major event feels empty.
With the cancellation of the UFC’s Manila card and Bellator 162 set for Friday, this will be the second straight Saturday night without a major promotion running a show.
The coming weeks are pretty sparse for combat sports, as well. The next UFC show doesn’t take place until Nov. 5.
Luckily, Warrior Nation Fight Series has you covered. The card boasts just enough scraps to settle the fight fans’ appetite for the time being.
So if you haven’t done so already, this weekend is the perfect opportunity to sign up for FloPRO and check out WNFS 42: OktoberFist. Reason number three explains why you won't regret the decision...
Events like Warrior Nation Fight Series are a throwback.
The shows may not feature the highest level of technique, but they still carry the have same feel as the events during the early days of the sport.
Along with that nostalgic touch, WNFS puts out an extremely high finish rate. During WNFS 41, which you can catch in its full glory here, only one fight went to the judges’ scorecards. Four fights ended with a TKO/KO, and four others were stopped with a tap out.
At WNFS 40, the high finish rate remained constant, and all of its bouts ended before the final bell (and you can watch them all right here). It’s these kinds of exciting fights you won't see anywhere else.
If you want to catch all of these fantastic finishes, fire up your FloPRO account for Warrior Nation Fight Series 42: OktoberFist live and only on FloCombat.
