Elite Fighting Promotions Returns this month on nov 15th to ALbany, Ny at “empire underground”. Full Fight Card to be announced soon!
Fans of combat sports in upstate New York have circled Saturday, November 15, 2025 on their calendars. On that evening, Elite Fighting Promotions (EFP) will stage its sixth show at Empire Live in Albany.
The one‑night event starts at 5:30pm at the downtown “Empire live” venue at 93 North Pearl Street. Posters for The Sound and The Fury – Muay Thai call for doors to open at 4.30 pm with fights beginning at 5.30 pm. Tickets start at around $20 and attendees must be 16 years or older with valid ID.
Where and How to Watch
The Sound and The Fury marks EFP’s first foray into Albany’s Empire Live after previous shows in Saratoga Springs. With a capacity of roughly 1 800 for live shows, Empire Live’s underground concert hall should provide a raucous environment for MMA, Kickboxing and Muay Thai bouts. Event pages indicate that spectators can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster and that streaming options, as with past shows, are expected through pay‑per‑view platforms (earlier EFP posters advertised streaming via WarriorsCup.tv).
Who’s Fighting and Who’s Returning
At the time of writing, Tapology’s event page lists the show as Elite Fighting Promotions 6 and confirms only the date, time and venue.
The full fight card has not been officially released, but promotional materials hint at a 145‑lb Muay Thai clash between fast‑rising strikers Ibrahim and Chan. EFP’s Facebook flyers and other teasers reference a “145‑pound Muay Thai fight – Ibrahim vs Chan,” suggesting that bout will headline the stand‑up portion of the card. Other match‑ups are expected to blend amateur and professional rules across MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing, continuing the promotion’s formula.
Even without a published bout list, history provides a good idea of who might appear. Reports from Elite Fighting Promotions 4 at Saratoga Springs in June noted that the card “featured many returning faces from previous events, such as Devan Senacal, Terrence Kite Jr and 175‑lb champ Logan Samarija”. Terrence Kite Jr., who trains at Sukhti Muay Thai, has become a fan‑favorite for his aggressive style.
Logan Samarija captured the promotion’s 175‑lb Muay Thai title and has hinted at defending it later this year. Saratoga Muay Thai standout Isaiah Padilla and Performance Combat MMA prospect Victor Elizondo have also been mentioned in social media teasers as possible participants. While official confirmation is pending, the presence of these familiar names would add star power and continuity to EFP’s Albany debut.
What to Expect
EFP’s previous outings have blended the raw grit of regional MMA with the artistry of Muay Thai and kickboxing. Coverage of Elite Fighting Promotions 4 remarked that the crowd was “buzzing with excitement,” noting how lighting and music enhanced the spectacle.
Expect a similar atmosphere at Empire Live, where the proximity of the cage to the audience should amplify every leg kick and takedown. The promotion prides itself on giving local fighters a stage while also bringing in out‑of‑state talent, so the Albany card is likely to feature a mix of up‑and‑comers and veterans.
Anticipated TITLE FIGHT
In an exhilarating clash, Aiden Dobo of WNYMMA will take on the imposing Kaleb Hagos from Greg’s Martial Arts and Combat Sports in a thrilling 135 title fight.
Early storylines
- First EFP show in Albany: After filling the Saratoga City Center for its first five cards, Elite Fighting Promotions is testing the waters in New York’s capital. The move to Empire Live reflects the promotion’s growth and its ambition to become the premier regional hub for MMA and kickboxing in upstate New York.
- Return of crowd favorites: Fans are eager to see whether champions like Logan Samarija or popular fighters such as Terrence Kite Jr. will return. Their performances at previous shows energised the audience.
- Potential title bouts: With the promotion teasing match‑ups at 145 lbs and 175 lbs, there is speculation that The Sound and The Fury will include title fights in both Muay Thai and MMA divisions. Ibrahim vs Chan could be a contender for Fight of the Night, while a possible Logan Samarija title defence would draw Muay Thai purists.
