September 10th NAAFS held Combat Challenge 15. The under card was loaded with young fighters in their 1st, 2nd or 3rd fight for the most part. While some of the fighters seemed to have cardio problems, for the most part, it was entertaining with some nice finishes. The three main fights were all really good fights with some really talented fighters. A card like this is good cause it gives you a mixture of fighters trying to prove themselves and fights with fighters who have already proven themselves.
