Northern Nevada’s premier cage fighting event returns as Ultimate Reno Combat 27 presents Unequaled LIVE on September 16 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. Be there live to watch this 10-fight attraction and if you can’t make it to Reno watch online at the GFL Combat Sports Network at GFL.tv.
In the main event, Lightweight Champion Delorean “D-Lo” Heaivilin (7-0) will defend his title against challenger Brandon Ricetti (3-1) in what will be a hotly contest matchup of Ultimate Reno Combat veterans. Heaivilin is an undefeated grappler/striker who is a fan favorite among the Reno crowd for his fast-paced fighting style. All 7 of Heaivilin’s wins have come via stoppage either TKO or submission so he will look to continue that streak on September 16. For the up and coming Ricetti he will have to stay composed in the early going, and weather the storm that Heaivilin is sure to bring in the opening round. Ricetti himself is a proficient submission artist with outstanding hands and this should be a great battle for the 155 lb Ultimate Reno Combat Title.
The Bantamweight Championship is up for grabs in the co-main event as Champion Brandon Frunk (9-2) defends against Rodney Canlas (1-0). For Brunk, this will be his first title defense since winning the title back in April at Ultimate Reno Combat 24. Brunk is on a 4-fight winning streak and looks to make it number 5 against newcomer Canlas who won by armbar in his only fight. For Brunk this matchup is more difficult than first glance because he will have a difficult time scouting Canlas and his tendencies, so Brunk will have to rely on his years of experience and cage time. For Canlas, he has the benefit of going into the fight as a somewhat unknown and will look to showcase his whole skill set in the title fight.
In other action, Corey “Agnarr” Wyatt (9-2) fights Albert Townsend (0-3) in a battle of light heavyweights, while Jesse Romero (1-1) battles Lucas Davis (2-0) in a lightweight tilt.
