The welterweight division takes center stage at Fight For It 24 as Tommy Gantt and Deven Paulsen collide in the main event on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, NC.
Tommy Gantt is one of the most dominant rising forces in regional MMA. A former Wrestling ACC Champion, Gantt boasts an undefeated professional record of 9-0-1, but what makes his résumé even more impressive is his 14-fight win streak, including his perfect amateur career. With four knockouts and four submissions, Gantt has proven he can finish fights anywhere. His most recent victory, a second-round TKO over Anthony Benevides, further cemented his reputation as a relentless competitor.
Facing him is Deven Paulsen, known as “Simba,” a fighter known for his knockout power. The Anchorage, Alaska native has secured all of his professional wins by KO/TKO, making him a serious threat in the stand-up exchanges. Though he’s faced adversity in both MMA and boxing, Paulsen thrives in chaos, always looking to test his opponent’s chin.
With Gantt’s undefeated streak and Paulsen’s knockout ability, this main event promises an explosive showdown. Will Gantt extend his reign of dominance, or will Paulsen deliver a career-defining upset?
