Championship MMA Returns to Youngstown, Ohio

Made Men Promotions is set to return to Penguin City Brewing Company in Youngstown, Ohio on Saturday April 19, 2025, delivering an electrifying night of professional and amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The 16-bout pay-per-view (PPV) event promises a showcase of world-class talent, featuring former champions and the sport’s brightest rising stars.

 

CEO Angelo Magnone expressed enthusiasm for the event, stating, “We’re thrilled to bring Made Men Promotions back to Youngstown.  Each visit to this exceptional venue feels like a homecoming.  Penguin City is one of the premier locations in the Mahoning Valley and we are proud of our long-standing partnership. Our team has worked tirelessly to craft an unforgettable night of combat sports for the fans. The fighters on this card represent the future of MMA, and many are poised to compete at the highest levels soon.”

 

Keegan “The Kreature” Mahafkey (3-0) will put his undefeated record on the line as he faces veteran Elijah Davis (5-3)  for the vacant Bantamweight Championship.  Mahafkey, from Salem, Ohio and trains out of Ohio Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was last seen in October 2024 as he defeated Andrew Gamblin by a one-sided unanimous decision.  This high-stakes matchup is expected to captivate audiences until a new champion is crowned.

 

Griffen Leombruno (3-1) will square up with John Leark (4-3) for the vacant Lightweight Championship.  Leombruno last captured gold in June 2024 and is seeking to add a second title to his promising MMA career.  Leark, on a two-fight winning streak, looks to capture his first title.  This highly anticipated matchup will have fans on their feet bell to bell.

 

With a dynamic lineup of 16 bouts, the event promises nonstop action for attendees and global viewers tuning in via iPPV.

 

Fans can anticipate an exceptional night of competition as Made Men Promotions continues to elevate the MMA landscape.
