One of the longest-running regional promotions is at it again Friday night. Combat Zone hosts its 67th numbered event at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire. The regional promotion hosts a combo card which includes amateur kickboxing as well as mixed martial arts.

Featured Fights

14 fights are on the docket. Of those 14 scheduled matchups, one intrigues above the rest. New Hampshire fighter Brendon Marotte looks to improve to 3-0 when he takes on Robert Best. The two are set to compete at a 150 lbs. catchweight. Marotte will look for his third stoppage as a pro on the main card. Not many fighters have managed to finish Best.

Best fought over 20 times as an amateur (0-1 as a pro). During that span, the New York fighter proved to be durable. In 25 fights, he has only been stopped twice. The most recent one being in 2012.

In the main event of the Combat Zone 67, Duncan Smith battles Justin Boraczek for the promotions vacant amateur welterweight title. Smith rides a two-fight win streak coming into Friday night’s action, both coming under the NEF (New England Fights, a Maine-based promotion) banner. Boraczek is a Combat Zone amateur veteran having fought all five of his fights with the promotion. He holds a record of 4-1. Most recently he defeated Jordan Jones at Combat Zone 66 by first-round KO.
