Both teams will do battle at the inaugural second night of Team Combat League on March 31, 2023 at the Mohegan Sun Expo Center. Each team carries a roster of 18 fighters across 6 weight classes.  Female Featherweight 126lbs Florencia Belen Kylie Fulmer Male Lightweight 135lbs James Earle Deonte Brown Sha’Rhod Williams Male Welterweight 147lbs Ronnie Austin Sanjabek Rahkmanov Allen Medina Male Middleweight 160lbs Ravshan Hudaynazarov Daquan Wyatt Johnny Niccola Tapia Male Light Heavyweight 175lbs Sam Arnold Jr Mykelle Henderson Lanell Bellows Male Heavyweight 201+lbs Skylar Lacy Giovanni Scuderi Cassius Chaney  Female Featherweight 126lbs Kathleen Sterling Tai Emery Emonie Cheatham Male Lightweight 135lbs Luis Melendez Frank Zalidar Juan Marrero Male Welterweight 147lbs James Bernadine Akeem Cheatham Maximillion Arredon Male Middleweight 160lbs Oluwafemi Oyelele Andrew Yates Male Light Heavyweight 175lbs Atif Olberton Khainell Wheeler Jaivon Cardinal Male Heavyweight 201+lbs Mike Hilton Maurice Cheatham Ryan Diaz Arguably the most anticipated matchup of opening week is between two fighters expected to be stars in the light heavyweight division for the next decade, 19-year old phenom Sam Arnold Jr. (8-0) of Las Vegas and Philly native Atif Olbertin (8-0) representing the Smoke. Another notable matchup is at middleweight where undefeated Oluwafemi Oyelele (12-0) faces Leon Lawson (14-1). In a battle of undefeated heavyweight titans, Mike Hilton (11-0) of the Smoke will face off against Skylar Lacy (6-0) of the Hustle. The female division will ignite an international showdown as Uruguayan Florencia Belen battles Haitian amateur sensation Kathleen Sterling. One major question mark for Philly is will the Smoke have an answer for the dual threat of James Earle and Dontae Brown of Las Vegas, with a combined record of 25-0. “We are excited to match our skills against a team with seasoned pros,” stated Philly coach Lando Rosa. “At the same time, however, Philly is a fight town, and our fighters are of a different caliber. We expect the one round format to be ideal for our tough as nails Philly fighters.” “All credit to Philly, it is a tough fight town but Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing," Las Vegas coach Dewey Cooper answered. "We have attracted a talent level that reflects the unique standing of Las Vegas in the combat sports world and the results will reflect that.”  |
