Rumor: Phil Baroni Fighting in Ring of Combat in April

From the Unsubstantiated Rumor Department: Phil Baroni will return to action at Ring of Combat's April 17th event at the Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City. Lou Neglia is the promoter of ROC, and Baroni actually made his MMA debut at one of Neglia's shows - the now defunct Vengeance at the Vanderbilt on Long Island - about 50 years ago. No opponent has been named yet.
