Below is a press release from CombatFC:
WILMINGTON, MA — Combat FC fans, this one is special. CombatFC 12 is absolutely STACKED from top to bottom, and we’re bringing it all to Wilmington, MA on Friday, February 20, 2026 — live in person and streaming worldwide on UFC FIGHT PASS.
The night is headlined by TWO separate title defenses from the most dominant champions in CombatFC. Yann “The Hand Grenade” Oliveira puts his championship on the line once again against tough CombatFC veteran Salaiman “Cut Throat” Ahmadyar. Yann is in the middle of one of the most impressive title runs in promotion history, but Ahmadyar brings experience, grit, and bad intentions every time he steps into the cage. When Yann fights, fireworks are guaranteed.
Damion Nelson also defends his belt, coming off a stunning knockout of Travis Demko in his last title defense. Nelson looked absolutely fantastic that night, and now he faces another serious test in tough, gritty New York standout Cole Alaxanian.
And the rest of the card delivers just as hard. Top prospect and fan favorite Jake “The Gorilla” Pilla returns to the cage against ultra-tough Tim Fargo. Every time Pilla fights, the energy in the building changes.
Nathaniel Grimard vs Jay Pressley is a matchup hardcore fans are already buzzing about — fast-paced, high-level, and guaranteed to entertain.
This is the kind of card fans talk about after it happens. Don’t miss it. Tickets are on sale now. Get yours before they’re gone: www.CombatFC.tv CombatFC 12, February 20 Shriners Auditorium — Wilmington, MA
