Triton Fights 3 emanates from The Space in Westbury, New York Friday night (June 30thth, 2017) at 6pm EST live on FloCombat.  Here are three reasons to watch

Middleweight Gold on the line

The vacant amateur middleweight title is up for grabs as Jeremy Puglia faces Vincent DeRiso. Pugila (4-1 AM) is coming off a successfully promotional debut for Triton Fights as he defeated Diego Henrique Machado back in April. 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 AM) 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.

Face the Payne

Cody Payne looks to make it two-straight wins when he battles Michael Sanders for the vacant amateur lightweight title. Payne (4-3 AM) heads into this matchup having won three of his last four fights. The New York native will be making his promotional debut. Sanders (1-1 AM) competes for the first time since 2011 and hasn’t competed since a split decision loss to Stephen Regman at Dead Serious 2. The 30-year-old won his amateur debut in May 2011, earning a first-round knockout over Scott Schelingowski at AFL 35.

Patterson looks to Punch-Out the Pretty Boy

Clint Patterson looks for his third-straight win when he takes on Eric “Pittsburgh Pretty Boy” Taylor in a welterweight contest. Patterson (2-1) bounced back from losing his amateur debut by winning two-straight fights, both by submission. The Oregon native will be making his promotional debut. Taylor (4-4) looks to get back on the winning track as he’s lost his last three fights. The 30-year-old will be looking for his first win since November 2014 and competes for the first time since December 2015.
