NAAFS Combat Challenge 25 on October 5th was an exciting amateur card. It was the semi-finals for the amateur series titles with the winners meeting in December. A few very nice finishes and a couple results that I would not have predicted. In the main event, R.J. Buck continued to be one of, if not the most improved amateur in the area with a win in an exciting fight with Tobiaus Taylor. J.T. Miller continued his trend of early stoppage victories, Jeff Hughes showed he is more than just a knockout artist, Nick Browne put on a solid wrestling display and Jerrell Hodge looked really impressive gaining another win.
