CFFC is set to host the promotion’s first two events of 2021 when the organization returns to Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on March 11-12 for a pair of shows to stream on UFC Fight Pass.
The promotion today announced the two cards, which will serve as CFFC 92 and CFFC 93 and will take place with limited fans in attendance.
“Despite all the challenges that 2020 presented to us, it remained one of the best years in Cage Fury Fighting Championships history, and we’re committed to reaching even new heights in 2021,” CFFC President Rob Haydak stated. “We’re starting it out with two of our newest champions looking to defend their belts and continue their rise to the sport’s biggest promotions, while a pair of vacant belts will also be on the line as we look to find the best up-and-coming talent in MMA. With strong lineups already being planned for events in April and May, as well, fans can expect CFFC to continue providing action-packed events every time out.”
Four championship fights were announced for the two-night lineup.
At CFFC 92, flyweight champion [autotag]Alberto Trujillo[/autotag] (5-1) seeks the first defense of his belt when he takes on fast-rising Ray Longo product [autotag]Phumi Nkuta[/autotag] (2-0), while the co-main event sees Uzbekistan’s [autotag]Saidyokub Kakharamonov[/autotag] (7-2) face Charlie’s Combat Club’s [autotag]Tycen Lynn[/autotag] (8-4) for the bantamweight title recently vacated by Jared Scoggins.
Meanwhile, CFFC 93 sees middleweight champion and Dana White’s Contender Series winner [autotag]Collin Huckbody[/autotag] (9-2) put his title on the line for the first time when he faces top Canadian contender and fellow DWCS veteran [autotag]Aaron Jeffery[/autotag] (9-2). Additionally, the vacant CFFC heavyweight title is up for grabs in the co-feature, when [autotag]Jamelle Jones[/autotag] (10-6) takes on [autotag]Cody Goodale[/autotag] (7-4).
Additional bouts are expected to be announced shortly.
