29 Feb Announcement ARES 2 February 29, 2020
Dear members of the media, ARES Fighting Championship has recently bolstered its ever-growing roster with the welcome additions of former UFC heavyweight Juan Adams (5-3), former UFC title challenger Wilson Reis (23-10), and 'The Action Man' Chris Curtis (22-8). Juan 'The Kraken' Adams (pictured above) comes into the promotion off the back of an entertaining run in the UFC, one which saw him rise as a fan favourite due to his personality, physical presence, and fighting style. The 28-year-old is excited to join ARES and aims to grow as a fighter with the promotion. His debut is TBA. "I’m extremely excited to join ARES," said Adams. "I think the promotion is already making some waves within MMA circles and is poised to become a major player in the not very distant future. I signed because I’m young in my career and the company is young as well so it’s mutually beneficial for us to grow together." While Adams is still young into his MMA career, Brazil's Wilson Reis joins the promotion with a wealth of experience behind him. The 35-year-old is a former UFC title challenger and had a thirteen-fight run in the promotion and holds career wins over Ben Nguyen, Scott Jorgensen, Zach Makovsky, Bryan Caraway, and Conor McGregor's striking coach Owen Roddy. An announcement will be made soon regarding his debut. Lastly, California's Chris Curtis has signed a multi-fight contract with ARES and will debut at ARES 2 in Belgium on April 3 against Nassourdine Imavov.

UFC TONIGHT Quotes
FOX Sports 1 UFC TONIGHT Show Quotes – 9/2/15 MCGREGOR: “I HAVE MY EYES ON KILLING JOSE AND THEN GOING UP AND KILLING THE LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION.” Stann on How Johnson Beats Dodson: “He has to cut off Dodson, not stand straight in front of him and set things up with angles.” LOS ANGELES – UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian and guest host Brian Stann interview The Ultimate Fighter coaches Conor McGregor and Urijah Faber. Florian interviews flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson and Karyn Bryant interviews Paige VanZant. Ariel Helwani add reports. UFC TONIGHT guest host Brian Stann on what Demetrious Johnson needs to do to beat John Dodson: “He’s super-fast and the way he strings everything together is truly incredible. Against John Dodson, he needs to push the pace and never stop going forward and integrate all his skills. He needs to get to the clinch. He dominated him here in the first fight. He needs to control the angles. He has to cut off Dodson, not stand straight in front of him and set things up with angles.” UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian on what John Dodson needs to do to beat Johnson: “Dodson is the more dangerous guy and has the knockout power. He sets it up by going to the body first, then to the head to score the knockout. He needs to apply constant pressure on Johnson and can’t just wait for counters. He needs to throw a lot of combinations and not just a few strikes. He can’t just look for the counter repeatedly like he did in the first fight.” Flyweight champion Johnson on Dodson calling him a plague to the division: “If this guy was at a bar, would I get a beer with him? Absolutely not.
