Universal Combat Championship Returns Next Thursday With UCC5: Unleashed

Next Thursday at the Teaneck Armory Arena, Universal Combat Championship returns with its first show of the year. UCC5: Unleashed will feature some of the fastest growing stars in MMA—including fighters from the UFC, Bellator and past WEC champions.

Since their launch in 2008, the UCC has quickly grown into the one of the most prevalent MMA organizations in the Northeast.

“I think outside of making the shows a success to continue with more shows, we strive to build relationships with fight teams, coaches and fighters to help our organization grow,” said Chris Sblendorio, President of the UCC. “So far we have put 10-12 guys in the UFC, and we continue on putting together matchups that fans want to see.”

UCC5: Unleashed promised to deliver the action and excitement MMA fans yearn for.

Headlining the main event of the evening is a matchup between Kenny Foster and Maratbek Kalabekov. Foster was a featherweight semifinalist for Bellator, and Maratbek is a seasoned BJJ practitioner who has 11 submissions in 14 wins.

The complete fight card (subject to change) is as follows:

Kevin Horowitz vs Joshua Key

Thiago Carfi vs Dwayne Holman

Daniel Carbonel vs Zech Lange

Kundo Kundo vs Garett Moldoff
