NCL to Begin Announcing Fight Card for February 7th Fight “Pegasus Vs. Dragon”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
West Palm Beach, FL 12/18/2024 - The National Combat League (NCL) is poised to take the regional MMA scene by storm as it begins unveiling the fight card for the highly anticipated Pegasus Vs. Dragon event, set to take place on February 7th at the Sport of Kings Arena at Gulfstream Park Casino. This monumental event serves as more than just another fight night—it’s a rallying cry for the resurgence of a dominant regional MMA promotion in Florida, a state ripe with untapped fighting talent yet lacking a unifying platform to elevate its athletes to the next level. The first fighter announcement will take place at Karate Combat 51 in Miami on 12/19/2024.
For years, Florida’s MMA scene has been defined by fleeting promotions and the shifting focus of giants in the industry. As these larger organizations pivot toward broader markets, they’ve left a gaping void in the Sunshine State’s regional fight circuit—a void the NCL is determined to fill. The Pegasus Vs. Dragon fight isn’t just an event; it’s a declaration of intent, a promise to give Florida’s fighters the stage they deserve and to restore the state’s reputation as a breeding ground for top-tier MMA talent.
A Regional Revival
“Pegasus Vs. Dragon isn’t just another fight night; it’s a statement about what’s next in the world of MMA,” said Holly Nelson, Owner of the NCL. “For too long, regional fighters in Florida have lacked a platform that truly prioritizes their development. This fight card is our way of saying: We see you. We believe in your potential. And we’re here to give you the exposure and opportunities you deserve.”
Nelson’s vision for the NCL extends far beyond a single event. With this expansion into South Florida, she’s staking her claim as a trailblazer for the region’s MMA community. Her dedication to the sport, combined with her determination to build a lasting legacy, is the driving force behind the NCL’s ambitious plans to make Florida the epicenter of regional MMA.
“Florida is teeming with talent, and has the most martial arts gyms per capita second only to the state of Nevada but without a platform like the NCL, many fighters fall through the cracks,” Nelson continued. “We’re here to bridge that gap and ensure that the best and brightest have a shot at greatness. Some of the fighters on this card are right on the cusp of UFC-level recognition, and this event is their chance to shine.”
Peak Excitement, Pure Talent
Brandon Young, COO of the NCL, echoed Nelson’s sentiments, highlighting the meticulous planning that went into curating the Pegasus Vs. Dragon card. “This event embodies the spirit of competition and innovation that the NCL stands for,” Young said. “Our executive Matchmaker, Michael Maldonado, designed every matchup to deliver not just entertainment but a showcase of the incredible skill and dedication of our fighters." Maldonado added, “This is the kind of action that will cement the NCL as a cornerstone of the Florida MMA scene. This card is filled with bangers.”
As the fight card is revealed over the coming days, fans can look forward to a lineup featuring both rising stars and seasoned veterans—fighters ready to make their mark and etch their names in the pages of MMA history. Each bout is a testament to the resilience, grit, and raw talent that define the NCL’s roster.
