Welcome back Kittredge

Tom Moreau isn't the only fighter making his long-awaited return to the octagon on Friday night at Combat Zone 37. Nate Kittredge will also be fighting for the first time in more than a year when he takes on Mike Mennsezo in the 185-pound weight class.
Kittredge's last fight was a win over Matt Masterson in March of 2010. That was the fifth win in a row for Kittredge, who is 10-1 and whose only loss was due to illegal elbow strikes. That was against Ron Wuest back in February of 2008.
The fight between Kittredge and Mennsezo will be just before the main event between David Huelett and Tom Moreau of Derry, who hasn't fought in about seven months. They are two of 15 bouts scheduled for the action scheduled to start at 8 p.m. at Rockingham Park.
Despite the long layoff, Kittredge is still the top ranked fighter locally at 185 pounds. His last three wins have all been by decision.
An up-and-coming fighter to watch for on Friday night is Will Santiago of Lawrence, who will take on Perry Filkins of Hooksett at 185 pounds. Santiago is 2-0 since joining the pro ranks, both knockouts that took less than a minute.
