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.”
