Three GR Fighters Gear Up for the April NAAFS Fight Show

Comer Fights for Driven MMA

On March 1st, George Comer charges back into the cage for the first time since his July win over Brian Camozzi at Fight Night in the Flats.  This time George heads to Canton for Driven MMA’s inaugural event.  Drive MMA is the rebranded Pro division of NAAFS, so it’s not totally unfamiliar territory.  While this is George’s first fight ‘out of town’,  at 70 miles, Canton isn’t far enough to keep George’s rabid fans from making the trip.

George Comer is a wrestling machine.  With a total fight record of 12-1, 9 of his wins were grinding decisions.  He’s been mixing it up since turning pro (3-1) with half of his wins via submission.  His opponent, Anthony Morgan, who started his career as a 185# and didn't really settle in as a 155 until the start of 2013, carries a 12-5 overall record, and is undefeated as a pro (3-0).   With 4 wins by tko, 4 by sub, and 3 by decision (his losses are a mixed bag as well) Morgan is a well balanced fighter.  They have one opponent in common: Stephen Singleton.  Comer beat Singleton last March by Arm Triangle Choke at 1:37 of round 2.  Morgan beat Singleton in October by Guillotine Choke at 2:28 of round 1.

As usual George will be sporting Intimidation Clothing gear to the cage.
