Zach Snyder gets it.
Training out of Stout PGH, Snyder boasts some of the best coaching and instruction in the city –– but he always understands that the sport of MMA is more than just the performance in the cage.
From his Brawl in the Burgh 12 walk-out to his epic post-fight speech, Snyder embraced the entertainment aspect of the sport, a rarity for a fighter just making his amateur debut.
And he's just getting started at north of 30 years old.
And he's not sure where he's gonna go from here.

Speaking on the Pittsburgh Combat Sports Podcast with 247 FC GM Hunter Homistek, Snyder breaks down that debut performance and much, much more.

The Mat Factory is all over this card, top to bottom.

From Neighoff moving up to heavyweight to take on the undefeated Flenory all the way down to Davis making his first walk to the cage against the hometown kid LaRocca, these fights bring the intrigue on several levels.
So much so, in fact, that we held a podcast to discuss.

Ethan Goss is a champion.
And what a journey it's been for him. The 8-6 Gorilla House pro featherweight captured gold at Brawl in the Burgh 11, defeating Kevin Barberena via dominant decision.
The win not only earned Goss the 247 FC title but it validated a career-long pursuit of excellence. Now, he cannot be denied.

More than that, though, Goss turned in the best performance of his career –– hands down. He hit another level against Barberena, and he tells 247 FC GM Hunter Homistek that wasn't a one-time showcase.
Speaking with the Pittsburgh Combat Sports Podcast, Goss broke down that title-winning performance and detailed where he goes from here.
Within that discussion, Goss explains his post-fight callout of undefeated Bellator stud Cody Law and what makes that fight so appealing for him. In addition, Goss lets a little secret slip about our upcoming event, May 14's Flood City Fight Night 2 in Johnstown, PA.
