🏆 2025 Fight of the Year 🏆

Adrian Luna Martinetti vs. Mark Vologdin shattered the line between regional and elite. A DWCS war that could’ve won Fight of the Year anywhere — regional, UFC, or across all combat sports.

No quit. Both fighters earned UFC contracts.

Regional MMA is where futures are forged and careers are earned long before the spotlight. In 2025, these fighters didn’t just win — they defined the year.
