When Pierce Thomas of the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District makes his ring debut at the NorCal Battle of the Badges on October 24, 2026, he will step through the ropes carrying more than his own determination. The UCA Jr Heavyweight will have the support of his fire station, family, and friends standing firmly behind him.
That kind of support can be a huge advantage especially for a fighter making their ring debut. Fight night is going to bring pressure unlike anything Pierce has experienced before. Knowing an entire team believes in him can provide some calmness when the nerves set in.
On October 24, Pierce will step through the ropes for the first time and have the confidence of knowing an entire firehouse and community is in his corner.
