Breaking: AFP 102 Brings MMA Action to TOCA Soccer Center in Rossford This May

The Ohio MMA scene is about to heat up! American Fight Promotions has just announced its next explosive event, AFP 102, scheduled to take place at the impressive TOCA Soccer Center in Rossford. If you’re a fight fan in the region, this is one event you won’t want to miss.

AFP 102: Date, Venue, and What to Expect

American Fight Promotions is taking over the state-of-the-art TOCA Soccer Center, located at 10020 S. Compass Dr. in Rossford, this May. The venue, typically known for soccer training and events, will transform into an arena of combat sports excellence for what promises to be an unforgettable night of fights.

I’ve been covering regional MMA promotions for years, and there’s something special about these local shows. The hunger of up-and-coming fighters combined with the intimate atmosphere creates an energy you just can’t get from watching UFC on your couch.

Why TOCA Soccer Center is Perfect for MMA

When I first heard about this venue choice, I was intrigued. Why host an MMA event at a soccer facility? But after looking into TOCA’s setup, it makes perfect sense:

• High ceilings and excellent sight lines from all angles
• State-of-the-art lighting and sound systems
• Ample parking for fans
• Comfortable amenities throughout the facility

This modern venue provides the perfect backdrop for fighters to showcase their skills while offering fans a comfortable viewing experience. The acoustics alone will make every punch, kick, and takedown reverberate through the building.

What We Know About the Fight Card So Far

While American Fight Promotions hasn’t released the complete fight card yet, I’ve got my ear to the ground. Based on AFP’s track record, we can expect a mix of promising amateurs and experienced pros from across Ohio and neighboring states.

Their previous event, AFP 101, featured several standout performances, including a few highlight reel knockouts that made waves on social media. Will we see those same fighters return? Who will headline this exciting card?

Fighters to Watch

The Ohio MMA scene has been producing some serious talent lately. Keep your eyes on local prospects who might make appearances at AFP 102:

• Rising stars from Toledo’s top MMA gyms
• Crossover athletes making their MMA debuts
• Veterans looking to climb back into the national spotlight

I’ll be updating with the official fight card as soon as it drops, so check back soon.

How to Get Tickets

Based on previous AFP events, tickets will likely be available through their official website or at select local retailers. Prices typically range from $30 for general admission to $75+ for premium seating. VIP tables are often available for those looking for the ultimate experience.

Pro tip: AFP events tend to sell out, especially when they’re in venues like TOCA that offer excellent viewing experiences. I’d recommend grabbing your tickets early when they become available.

The Growing MMA Scene in Northwest Ohio

This event continues the expansion of MMA’s popularity in Northwest Ohio. The region has become a hotbed for combat sports talent, with several fighters making it to major promotions like UFC, Bellator, and PFL in recent years.

American Fight Promotions has been instrumental in providing a platform for local fighters to showcase their skills and build their followings. AFP 102 represents another opportunity for athletes to shine and for fans to witness the next generation of MMA stars.

Why Local MMA Matters

There’s nothing quite like the atmosphere of a regional MMA event. You’re not just watching fights – you’re witnessing the beginning of careers, the culmination of months of hard work, and the raw passion that eventually fuels the highest levels of the sport.

When you attend AFP 102, you might just be seeing future UFC champions before they make it big. Remember, everyone from Stipe Miocic to Jessica Eye started on the Ohio regional scene.

Mark Your Calendars

AFP 102 is shaping up to be one of the must-attend MMA events in Ohio this spring. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or just looking for an exciting night out in Rossford, this event promises to deliver non-stop action in a premier venue.
