3 Reasons To Watch Triton Fights 3 On FloCombat
Triton Fights 3 emanates from The Space in Westbury, New York, Friday, June 30, at 7:30 p.m. EST live on FloCombat.  Featuring some of the Empire State's most promising up-and-comers and veterans alike, Triton Fights 3 promises to bring the heat right to your favorite device. 

Here are three reasons to check it out. 

Cross-training comes to fisticuffs 


The vacant Triton Fights middleweight title is up for grabs in the main event, as Jeremy Puglia faces Vincent DeRiso.

Pugila (4-1) is coming off a successful showing in April, as he defeated Diego Henrique Machado back in April. He also had a successful showing in December, when he wiped out Jamal Pottinger in short order. 



The New York native took a three-year break from MMA from 2014 to 2016 and since his return, he’s won back-to-back fights.

DeRiso (6-2), meanwhile, had his four-fight win streak snapped in his last fight, as he suffered a third-round knockout loss to Craig Brian May at NYFE 12: Severe TrauMMA. The Bellmore Kickboxing MMA product has finished five of his opponents and has only gone the distance twice in his career.

Adding a dose of intrigue to the matchup, Puglia's coach Rick Schaefer is a pro kickboxer training with DeRiso's coach at Bellmore Kickboxing. Did he learn some inside secrets to share with his fighter? Time will tell.

Face the Payne


Cody Payne looks to make it two straight wins when he battles Michael Sanders for the vacant Triton Fights lightweight title.

Payne (4-3) heads into this matchup having won three of his last four fights. The New York native will be making his promotional debut.

Sanders (1-1) competes for the first time since 2011 and hasn’t competed since a split-decision loss to Stephen Regman at Dead Serious 2. The 30-year-old fighter won his amateur debut in May 2011, earning a first-round knockout over Scott Schelingowski at AFL 35.


Patterson looks to Punch-Out the Pretty Boy—Muay Thai style


Clint Patterson looks for his third straight win when he takes on Eric “Pittsburgh Pretty Boy” Taylor in a welterweight United States Muay Thai Association title fight. 

Patterson (2-1) bounced back from losing his amateur debut by winning two straight fights, both by submission. The Oregon native will be making his promotional debut. Taylor (4-4) looks to get back on the winning track, as he’s lost his last three fights. The 30-year-old will be looking for his first win since November 2014 and competes for the first time since December 2015.
