Lou puts on some great events!

Carlos Moreno (Team BAMA)

I trained with this guy, he has good boxing skills and some heavy hands.

I saw him fight at the BAMA fight nights. He swung for the fences and landed. He knocked that dude out cold.

Carlos Moreno and Taylor Sensabaugh are going to win. That is all I know. Thanks for the info, Nuno! Good bye and good day.

He showed me the tape. His cousin, who also trains at BAMA, was like "Hurry up and KO him so we can go home." Carlos didn't let him down...

I was talkin to the other guys corner, he was only training for a month and decided to fight. Man that was a bad idea!

A Prelude to Combat
By Jim Genia

Matt Serra. Nick Serra. Ricardo Almeida. Phil Baroni. Chris Liguori. What do all these mixed martial artists have in common? They're all UFC veterans, and they were all plucked from the ranks of Lou Neglia and Ray Longo's fighting events! Showcasing the best in local talent, the latest installment of Ring of Combat comes to the Rexplex Sports Complex in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on Saturday, December 6th - and representatives from Team Renzo Gracie, the Serra/Longo Competition Team, Team Tiger Schulmann, and Team BAMA will battle it out. Here's a brief look at some of the fighters on the card:

http://www.fullcontactfighter.com/PICTURES/FIGHTERS/moreno-carlos.jpg
Carlos Moreno - Team BAMA
A heavyweight with a reputation for knockouts, Moreno is known for sending the competition into dreamland with his accurate and extremely heavy hands. Unfortunately, this has left him sitting on the sidelines more often than not as promoters struggle to find him opponents. Enter: the "Juice", Justin Villella. Hailing from Pennsylvania, the Juice sports a 4-0 record and is the heavyweight champ of the Ohio Fighting Alliance. Will he end up unconscious, like the others who have dared to stand and trade with Moreno?
"I hear he's a striker," says Moreno. "So it's gonna be a good stand-up match until he tries to tie up. Then we'll see how it goes from there."

Mike Stine - Team Tiger Schulmann
Stine is a Tiger Schulmann Karate representative who has honed his skills at local grappling tournaments. In the MMA arena, he's coming off a quick but impressive submission win over Alex Wilkie's Pat Russo, and will square off against wrestler Derex Johnson at Ring of Combat 5. Will he force his opponent to tap? Or will his ground defense and stand-up get tested? "I've heard good things about my opponent," says Stine, who asserts he's just as good on his feet as he is on the mat. "I haven't seen any tape on him, but that's just made me train harder."

Derex Johnson - Team Ricardo Almeida
His first MMA bout ended with him tapping to jiu-jitsu stud and Ring of Combat champ Pete "Drago" Sell. His second bout ended with a close decision going to his opponent, Greg Killian. But they say the third time's the charm, and with a recent shift in his training focus, Johnson will be out to secure that much needed win with a vengeance. With his wrestling skills, the takedowns are probably his if he wants them. Will it be enough to impose his will on Stine?

Jay Hieron - Bellmore Kickboxing/Rodrigo Gracie
He's an All-American wrestler from Hofstra University, a jiu-jitsu blue belt, and he's fresh off an MMA win via TKO (unanswered strikes). In short, the fierce and aggressive Hieron is a rising star and up-and-coming badass.

Luke Cummo - Serra-Longo Competition Team
Though his last bout ended in a loss (a close decision to Team Tiger Schulmann rival Dave Tirelli), Cummo is certainly no pushover. He can grapple, he can strike, and he can fight well from the clinch. So what's standing between him and redemption? Phil Mazurrco - a strong wrestler with solid takedowns. Someone's going to get grounded and pounded or someone's going to get submitted, but either way, expect this one to be a war!

* Carlos Moreno Vs. Justin Villella
