Between its two New York locations, WNY MMA is a martial arts gym that produces some of the state’s top talent. Their most well-known fighter is Patrick Mix, who Tapology ranks as the best bantamweight in the state and a top-five bantamweight nationwide. WNY MMA is also home to Solomon Renfro and Erik Herbert, who are the top two middleweights in the state.
But, at Steeltown Throwdown, it’s not about the pro fighters for WNY MMA. Instead, this event is about their amateur fighters. They are sending four fighters to 247 Fighting Championships‘ inaugural event, all of whom are looking to defeat hometown opponents and impress the Pittsburgh crowd.
