NH fighters in action tonight

Anybody in the Providence, R.I., area looking for something to do tonight might want to check out "Rhode Rage" at the Twin River Event Center.
As usual, the card features some great talent from the Granite State, including Tom Moreau of Derry, who will make his first trip to the cage since knocking out Dennis Olson at GFL 9 in September.
Moreau (6-2) is one of the most complete fighters in the area and will take on Keith Jeffrey (5-2-1) in the welterweight class.
Another local fighter making his return for the first time since September tonight is Woody Weatherby (8-4) of Nashua. Weatherby's last fight was a loss to Luigi Fioravanti at the M-1 Selection show on Sept. 18. He will take on Todd Chattelle (6-6) in the middleweight class.
The main event has Mike Campbell (8-3) taking on Mike Medrano (8-7) in the lightweight class.
Granite Staters looking to get their fix of mixed martial arts action might want to consider making the trip, because they'll have to wait a while to go to an event in their own back yard. The next MMA event scheduled in New Hampshire isn't until April 29 when Combat Zone will have an event at Rockingham Park.
There haven't been a ton of bookings this year in the state. The next event on the state's boxing and wrestling commission calendar after the CZ production is a GFL show set for July 15.
