It was another tremendous weekend of MMA action at Resorts legendary Superstar Theater.

July 23 and July 24 marked the thirty first and thirty second shows promoted by the premier organization in the North East.  These also happened to be two of the finest NBF events ever produced.

Two nights filled with highly competitive fights and tons of fun for the interacting fans.

Friday night was a special night due to the surprise tribute given to one of the finest fighters and instructors the sport of MMA has to offer, Professor Ricardo Almeida.  Ricardo is developing his own legacy in the sport while still taking the time to operate one of the finest academy's in the region. His support of New Breed Fighters has made a huge contribution to the popularity and credibility the organization receives. 

It was obvious from the first night that the fighters also felt there was something special in the air...

Adam showed some serious bjj to go along with a humongous heart in this epic battle. We all expected Adam to be super slick on the ground by he surprised Da Silva with some real distracting shots on his feet. David Adiv has done a wonderful job preparing Adam for his Title shot.
