Earn your brick! Brick 26 is a nonprofit organization based out of Long Island, NY. Brick 26 utilizes a unique annual walk/endurance run event and social networking campaigns to generate awareness and funds for all returned and returning service members no matter what their needs; financial, emotional, and physical. Brick 26 places an equal emphasis on the great needs of ALL veterans and aims to equitably distribute funds so that ALL service members in need have access to increased support. The County Executive Brick 26 Challenge will take place on August 4, 2012 in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, NY. Those tough-enough to take on the Brick 26 Challenge will start out on a 10K road course pushed by drill sergeants, challenged by various "boot camps" and motivated by the sheer will to make it to the finish line.... Did we mention the bricks? Along the way, participants will carry with them one or five bricks... yes bricks, those dark-red, 5 pound clay bars that are used to construct much of the world we live in. Each of these bricks will be carried across the finish line and dedicated and used to build a monument in honor of all those who have served. We recognize that there are athletes (or not) at every level and our primary goal is to offer something for everyone, so the Brick 26 Challenge consists of various levels of participation ranging in difficulty. So whether you choose the 10K Brick 26 Competitive Wave or the 1 mile Straight Honor Walk, there is something for everyone and fitness level. The men and women currently serving in the military and our veterans who have returned home have been some of the biggest supporters of Mixed Martial Arts. Now it’s time for us to give back to those that have so bravely served our country.

Ring of Combat 36 Results - June 17, 2011
It was a perfect night for the Serra-Longo Fight Team at Ring of Combat 36 Friday. The usual Tropicana stomping grounds in Atlantic City saw host to four fighters from the powerhouse Long Island fight camp, all of them picking up big wins.
In the evening's main event, Pete "Drago" Sell's return to ROC seemed like a lost cause initially, as defending Welterweight Champion Eliah Harshbarger threw him around relentlessly and gave him an ugly mouse under his left eye. But Drago came charging back in the second round, securing top position then passing for an incredible reverse triangle straight armbar combo submission to claim the belt as the partisan crowd erupted in jubilation.
10th Ranked Lightweight in the 2011 World MMA Scouting Report Al Iaquinta dueled with Brazilian prospect Gabriel Miglioli in one of the most intense ROC fights ever, both showing amazing technical ability and heart for prospects with a combined seven pro fights worth of experience. The rangier Miglioli controlled the first round, dropping Iaquinta with punches for a near-KO and applying a couple close submission attempts. Round two turned into a complete brawl, with Migloli trading short punches to the head and body for Iaquinta's jabs and high right roundhouse kicks. In the final round, Iaquinta seemed in complete control with a damaging ground and pound attack, but a fading Miglioli somehow escaped, landed a hard knee to the body and then managed his own takedown. Iaquinta, who never stopped attacking despite taking hard shots in every round, scored a reversal in the dying seconds and ended the fight taking Miglioli's back. In the end, the judges rewarded Iaquinta's tenacity with a close split decision victory.
Three round bantamweight and flyweight title bouts were featured as the night's two co-main events. In 135lb action, Team Bombsquad product Aljamain Sterling captured the belt in just his third pro fight, taking a convincing split decision over Claudio Ledesma. And in the 125 title affair, Sean Santella was awarded a unanimous decision despite being exhausted for the final two rounds and having his takedown game completely shut down in the second half of the fight by former Strikeforce featherweight Tito Jones. Jones was visibly displeased upon hearing that he had failed to win a single round on any of the judge's scorecards.
