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.

Comer Fights at Caged Vengeance 13

GR has one fighter appearing on the March 30th NAAFS card in Medina, but he's one of our best.  Making his 3rd pro appearance  George Comer (10-1 am/pro) will face Stephen Singleton (9-1 am/pro) who will be making his NAAFS debut.  This will be Singleton's second fight as a pro.  Singleton rides a 7 fight winning streak into Medina, all, with the exception of a split decision,  either by armbar or choke in the first round. 

Be sure to show up to support George.  With so many of his opponents backing out, NAAFS had to go a long way to find someone.  They did their homework.  If George was hoping for a light workout after a long layoff from the cage, he's not getting it on the 30th.

For tickets contact George Comer or Jason Dent at: 440-358-9371

Compton, Comer and Burbol Fight at Caged Vengeance

GR hits NAAFS with full force when three fighters throw down at Caged Vengeance in downtown Cleveland on February 18^th.

Paul Compton, George Comer and John Burbol will stand up for GriffonRawl



145 lbs – Paul Compton 5-4 vs Antonio Castillo Jr. 3-3 (Instigator)
155 lbs – George Comer 0-1 vs Ryan Shank 0-0 (Charleston, WV)
185 lbs – John Burbol 5-4 vs John Antanitis 5-3 (Penn Hill MMA)

Antonio Castillo is moving fast with 6 fights in 13 months. His losses seem linked to taking too little time between fights. He raised his record to 3-3 with a solid decision win over Kevin Rothacker in last November.

Comer's opponent is 5-0 as an amateur and fights at 170 and 185. He makes his pro debut at 155. Expect him to bring it.

John Antanitis returns to the cage after a 14 month hiatus with a 5-3 record. He's another one whose losses seem linked to shorts rests between fights.
