CombatZone 3 Saturday night in RevereAMESBURY, Mass. – Many of the best kick-boxers, San Shou, Mixed Martial Arts, and Muay Tai fighters in the East will be in action Saturday night (Sept. 20) in “Combatzone 3,” presented by Trilogy/Black Belt Productions, at Club Lido in the Wonderland Entertainment Center (formerly Wonderland Ballroom).
