Barre, Vermont – On December 6th, 2025, DonnyBrookes Fight Promotions Returns with their Battle in Barre 18 ‘Winter Soldiers’ event. Another action-heavy night is in store for the Granite City, and the early sheet already hints at the kind of blue-collar MMA Vermonters show up for.
Team Link is set to return with a crew, and the matchmakers have started dropping pairings that promise pace, pressure, and just enough bad intentions to keep the crowd on its feet.
Possible Fights to Look Forward to at DBFP Battle in Barre 17 ‘Winter Soldier’
First up on the insider board: Ron Skellie vs. Dane McIntosh at 155 (MMA)—A clean clash of styles where the fighter who wins the pocket exchanges likely wins the night.
Right behind it, a lighter, faster burner at 135 (MMA): Xander Boucher vs. Connor Shantyrohe, the kind of matchup that tends to turn into scrambles, counters, and high-tempo striking.
And circling the card is Quon [last name TBC] vs. Ethan Kleber—Details to be finalized, but the early chatter says this one has “momentum swing” written all over it.
The Team Link storyline matters here. When that banner shows up in Barre, it brings travel-day grit and a coaching voice that pushes pace. Add in the DonnyBrooke atmosphere—tight sightlines, raised voices, and a crowd that knows what it’s watching—and you’ve got a perfect canvas for breakout performances. These are the nights when prospects level up, veterans steady the ship, and one or two names steal the room before the main card even walks.
We’ll update as bout orders, rounds, and any late adds become official.
For now, pencil in Skellie–McIntosh at 155, Boucher–Shantyrohe at 135, and Quon–Kleber as the early heat. Keep an eye on DonnyBrooke’s feeds for posters and tickets, and follow JMA for fight-week interviews, weigh-in notes, and live-night coverage straight from Barre.
Last time out, DonnyBrooke packed the Barre Auditorium for Battle in Barre 17—a hybrid slate that mixed MMA, Muay Thai, and kickboxing under one roof, streamed via internet PPV and fueled by a rowdy hometown crowd. With Barre Auditorium rocking from opening bell to the nightcap, the promotion proved again why it’s Vermont’s fight-night heartbeat. If that energy is the baseline, the next card isn’t just a show—it’s a step up. Pencil it in and expect louder, faster, and meaner.
