Triton Fights 3 emanates from The Space in Westbury, New York, Friday, June 30, at 7:30 p.m. EST live on FloCombat.  Featuring some of the Empire State's most promising up-and-comers and veterans alike, Triton Fights 3 promises to bring the heat right to your favorite device. 

Here are three reasons to check it out. 

Cross-training comes to fisticuffs 

The vacant Triton Fights middleweight title is up for grabs in the main event, as Jeremy Puglia faces Vincent DeRiso.

Pugila (4-1) is coming off a successful showing in April, as he defeated Diego Henrique Machado back in April. He also had a successful showing in December, when he wiped out Jamal Pottinger in short order. 



The New York native took a three-year break from MMA from 2014 to 2016 and since his return, he’s won back-to-back fights.

DeRiso (6-2), meanwhile, had his four-fight win streak snapped in his last fight, as he suffered a third-round knockout loss to Craig Brian May at NYFE 12: Severe TrauMMA. The Bellmore Kickboxing MMA product has finished five of his opponents and has only gone the distance twice in his career.

Adding a dose of intrigue to the matchup, Puglia's coach Rick Schaefer is a pro kickboxer training with DeRiso's coach at Bellmore Kickboxing. Did he learn some inside secrets to share with his fighter? Time will tell.

Patterson looks to Punch-Out the Pretty Boy—Muay Thai style

Clint Patterson looks for his third straight win when he takes on Eric “Pittsburgh Pretty Boy” Taylor in a welterweight United States Muay Thai Association title fight.

Taylor (4-4) looks to get back on the winning track, as he’s lost his last three fights.
