Ring Wars Returns With Valentine’s day massacre

Carnage Fight Series returns to Venue 18 for an intense night of boxing and kickboxing action! On Saturday, February 14th, CFS presents Ring Wars 2: Valentine’s Day Massacre. With an undercard of amateur kickboxing, followed by a main card of pro boxing bouts, Ring Wars is a striking fans’ dream. While the full card has yet to be announced, some must-see matchups have already been greenlit.

Dylan Budka vs Cameron Rivera

Dylan ‘The Mindless Hulk’ Budka looks to continue his winning streak against Cameron ‘The Puerto Rican Bakugo’ Rivera. Budka’s last victory was a first-round knockout against Zach Russ at the debut edition of Ring Wars. He’s 2-0 (2 KOs) in pro boxing and 4-0 in his last four fights. The Mindless Hulk has made it clear that he intends to return to the UFC in 2026. Another impressive knockout would certainly help his chances.

Rivera has a 10-8-4 pro boxing record and will look to maintain the momentum gained from a first-round knockout win in his last bout against Bryan Nuro at WFC 172. He is a seasoned veteran who will look to leverage his professional experience to defeat the younger Budka. Rivera has won 60% of his pro boxing bouts via knockout.

Both men clearly have the ability to end this one early, so we’ll see if someone starts a two-fight first-round KO streak. Either way, this should be an explosive fight to end the night.

Andrew smith vs Johnathan Moore

Another big fight to watch is Andrew Smith vs. Johnathan ‘Tasc Master’ Moore. Smith is a rising star in the world of Ohio combat sports. After missing 2025 due to injury, Smith hopes to assert himself as a top Middleweight contender. Andrew was 2-0 in 2024.

Johnathan Moore is making his pro boxing debut at Valentine’s Day Massacre. The 6’3″ southpaw will give Smith plenty to think about in his return. Moore will have the length advantage along with being a lefty, which could be a challenge, even for a fighter as technically sound as Smith. The Tasc Master looks to play the villain and ruin Smith’s return to action while starting his pro journey off 1-0.

Juan silva vs payton rose

Heavyweights collide as Juan Silva squares off against Payton Rose. Silva owns one of the best knockout finishes in Carnage Fight Series history with his second-round counter left hook finish of Keyshon Osborne at CFS 1. He’s looking to avenge a tough, decision loss to Michael Sark Jr. with a win at Ring Wars 2.

This will be our first time seeing Payton Rose on a Carnage Media broadcast. Rose’s last professional bout was an MMA loss against Tavon Pierce at Ultimate Battlegrounds 25. He’ll have to withstand Silva’s knockout power to get back into the win column.

Luis Dominguez vs ryan shough

We’re in for more fireworks as Luis Dominguez faces Ryan Shough in another heavyweight slugfest. It will be our first time seeing either fighter on Carnage Media, which always adds excitement to the matchup. Ryan ‘Superman’ Shough fights our of Iron Tiger, a team that has had many fighters put on impressive performances in 2025. Will Shough continue Iron Tiger’s momentum, or will Dominguez prove to be Superman’s kryptonite?
