  • Almeida Confident He Can Subdue Rising Star Bermudez at CES MMA 39
    Almeida confident he can subdue rising star Bermudez at CES MMA 39 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Oct. 28th, 2016) — When Saul Almeida looks at his upcoming opponent, Manny Bermudez, he sees a younger version of himself, a confident, borderline cocky, up-and- comer with an aura of invincibility due to his early success. Almeida (18-7, 1 KO), the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist who fights and trains out of Framingham, Mass., also won his first seven pro fights, just like the 22-year-old Bermudez (7-0, 1 KO) has done since turning pro last summer. The parallels are striking; Almeida was 21 at the time, undefeated and untested, until he stepped into the cage with wiry, 33-year-old vet Pete Jeffrey on the undercard of CES MMA’s inaugural event in 2010. It was a humbling experience for Almeida, who got submitted via guillotine choke in the third and final round for the first loss of his pro career. Almeida is now 27 as he enters his 26th pro fight next Friday at Memorial Hall in Plymouth, Mass., on the main card of “CES MMA 39,” but he’s arguably more experienced now than Jeffrey was when they faced one another six years ago. Will history repeat itself Nov. 4th? Will the young, brash Bermudez get humbled by the cagey veteran Almeida? “Why not?” Almeida said. “If he’s feeling like he’s the next big thing, he better be ready for that train to fall soon. He’s not going to go undefeated his whole life.” The Almeida-Bermudez fight, one of the more compelling bouts on the “CES MMA 39” main card, is one of seven fights airing live on AXS TV’s AXS TV Fights telecast, which begins at 9 p.m.

  • Bantamweight Title Eliminators Highlight CES MMA's Florida Debut April 30
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, March 23, 2021 Bantamweight title eliminators highlight CES MMA's Florida debut April 30 Orlando, FL (Tuesday, March 23, 2021) – CES MMA is back and ready to break new ground in the Sunshine State. The northeast’s undisputed leader in mixed martial arts makes its 2021 debut Friday, April 30with CES MMA 62, live on UFC FIGHT PASS® from the Caribe Royal Orlando. The event marks CES MMA’s first live show since October and its first in Florida, one of several states to allow limited-capacity crowds amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Several CES MMA fan favorites will make the trip south of New England, including veteran bantamweight "Sweetbread" Dinis Paiva, welterweight Gary Balletto III, bantamweight Ashiek Ajim, and welterweight John Gotti III. Headlining CES 62 is a pair of bantamweight world title eliminator bouts as four of the division’s top stars compete for the opportunity to hoist the CES MMA World Bantamweight Championship in 2021. The title has been vacant since the summer of 2019 when previously champion Tony Gravely was called up to the UFC. Gravely is one of three bantamweight champions in the promotion’s history, joining Andre Soukhamthath and Andre Ewell, each of whom competed for the UFC shortly after winning the title. One title eliminator is an intrastate showdown between Orlando bantamweight Diego Silva (12- 5, 2 KOs) and Coconut Creek veteran Andrew Whitney (18-6, 7 KOs), both making their CES MMA debut. In the other title eliminator, Paiva (13-8, 7 KOs), a 20-time CES MMA veteran and former bantamweight title contender, faces off against Pensacola native Josh Smith (9-6, 5 KOs).

  • S Reigning Kings of MMA Join Forces for an Unforgettable Event in America&
    Two of northeast’s reigning kings of MMA join forces for an unforgettable event in America’s Hometown PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Nov. 2nd, 2016) — For years, Cage Titans FC and CES MMA have run neck-and-neck as two of the premier mixed martial arts promotions in the northeast. Cage Titans has developed an incredibly deep talent pool of up-and-coming amateur fighters, many of whom have starred on past CES MMA events, while CES MMA has earned its reputation as a gateway to the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) with help from its relationship with AXS TV, which will extend into 2017, as announced by the network earlier this week. The two promotions had always talked about running an event in association with one another, but it never made sense until now. CES MMA recently had another TV date added to its 2016 slate and Cage Titans had the venue, hence the concept behind “CES MMA 39,” which takes place Friday night at Memorial Hall in Plymouth, Mass., Cage Titans’ home base where it’s sold out its last 12 events. Friday’s event features 11 bouts — eight professional, three amateur — with the preliminary card beginning at 7 p.m. ET and the AXS TV Fights televised main card beginning at 9. “When this opportunity presented itself, it made perfect sense,” Cage Titans owner and matchmaker Mike Polvere said. “It was the right place, right time.” It was a no-brainer as well for CES MMA, which had hoped to promote a second event in Massachusetts before the end of the year after making its Bay State debut in Beverly in April with a sold-out show at the North Shore Music Theatre.
