NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
Alliance
MMA, Inc. ("Alliance MMA" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AMMA), a
professional mixed martial arts (MMA) company that brings together the
best regional productions building the next generation of MMA champions,
is promoting Combat Games MMA (COGA) 55 at the Snoqualmie Casino in
Snoqualmie, Wash. on Saturday, May 20th.
“COGA provides the pacific northwest with the very best of MMA, for both
the fighters and the fans,” said Robert Haydak, President of Alliance
MMA. “I am excited to see the fighter development, including Joey
“Mama’s Boy” Pierotti, at COGA 55 – Rumble on the Ridge.”
Joey “Mama’s Boy” Pierotti fights Andy Nigretto for the welterweight
strap at COGA 55 – Rumble on the Ridge. Pierotti, a Seattle firefighter,
is currently on a 5-fight win streak and is under a newly signed
multi-fight contract with Combat Games.
“I was thrilled when I signed my deal with Combat Games because now I
can fight fires by day and fight in the cage at night,” said Joey
“Mama’s Boy” Pierotti. “I’m gonna give my Momma the best Mother’s Day
gift ever!”
With more than 50 events over the last 7 years, COGA played host to
stars such as Demetrius Johnson – who was their first bantamweight
amateur champion before going Pro and eventually becoming the current
UFC Champion with the longest running title defense streak ever.
“Since joining Alliance MMA last October, I have received nothing but
incredible encouragement and business support,” said COGA general
manager Joe DeRobbio. “The centralization of common business functions,
from marketing assistance to help with medical and licensing, have made
our events more successful. I believe COGA 55 – Rumble on the Ridge will
be our best event yet.”
