Parker Porter (14-8) has long been a staple on the New England fight scene. With wins in regional MMA promotions like Combat Zone, Reality, and CES it was only a matter of time before Porter moved up to he big leagues . With seven UFC fights now under his belt, Porter has become must see TV at the sports highest level. For anyone looking to support a New England Fighter, Porter might be your guy, consistently showing up with work with his hard hat and lunchbox sized fists, ready to put on a show for MMA fans across the globe.
New England MMA fans have grown to expect all out action when Porter steps into the cage. Most of his fights, win or lose, do not go past the first round and Saturday night he kept that tradition alive with a decisive first round KO of Braxton Smith (5-2). The up and coming Smith, who was riding the momentum with a 5 fight win streak all coming by round 1 TKO's, would become a tough ask for most fighters, but Porter stepped up to the plate at UFC 288 and hit one out of the park, dispatching Smith in the first round!
