May 7, 2025 - New York doesn’t sleep, and neither does WOVA. Back at the Liberty Dome, WOVA Fight Night: Lit City delivers ten bouts of pure mayhem beneath the city’s blinding lights. From heavyweight sluggers to featherweight assassins, this card is stacked with raw talent, wild personalities, and enough bad blood to flood the boroughs. The name says it all: it’s Lit — in the cage and in the chaos.
Main Event: Scott Barnes vs. Alek Morkvansen | Heavyweight (265 lbs)
Two of the biggest names in WOVA’s heavyweight division collide in a main event built for destruction. Scott Barnes brings veteran experience and thudding power. Morkvansen is younger, meaner, and built like a slab of granite. This isn’t going the distance — and both men know it.
Co-Main Event: Makai Osborn vs. Coby Kirby | Light Heavyweight (205 lbs)
A sleeper for Fight of the Night, Osborn fights like he’s got nothing to lose — aggressive, wild, and creative. Kirby is a slow burn, technical and dangerous. This is a lit fuse waiting to blow.
Featured Fights:
Matti Jokinen vs. Hayden Morris | Middleweight (185 lbs):
A battle of rising prospects with sharp hands and sharper tempers. Someone’s climbing the ladder — someone’s getting dropped.
Barry McKockiner vs. August McMahon | Lightweight (155 lbs):
This one’s gonna get ugly. McKockiner is relentless. McMahon doesn’t take a backward step. High pace, high pressure, high risk.
Jon Bautista vs. JD Hawks | Welterweight (170 lbs):
Two veterans looking for a breakout moment. Toughness won’t be enough — this one takes precision and pain tolerance.
Sozin Derozan vs. Bart Starr | Light Heavyweight (205 lbs):
Derozan throws heat and hunts heads. Starr stays composed, but if he gets dragged into a war, all bets are off.
Quintin Bean vs. Brett Favre | Light Heavyweight (205 lbs):
It’s not Sunday, but Favre is still airing it out. Bean will be looking to intercept with a knee to the dome. Expect violence.
Tim Christensen vs. Mito Chondria | Lightweight (155 lbs):
Cardio kings and weird names collide. Christensen brings grit, Chondria brings chaos. Might steal the show.
Elijah Santiago vs. Martin Spitzarov | Heavyweight (265 lbs):
Two raw, powerful finishers who don’t know the meaning of Round 3. Meat gets thrown, chins get tested.
Robert Ruchala vs. Aaron Rays | Featherweight (145 lbs):
Featherweight speed demons clash in what might be the cleanest technical scrap of the night.
