    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.

  • Top 10 Welterweights Matt Brown and Tarec Saffiedine Collide on Saturday, Feb
    TOP 10 WELTERWEIGHTS MATT BROWN AND TAREC SAFFIEDINE COLLIDE ON SATURDAY, FEB. 14 IN BROOMFIELD Las Vegas, Nevada – The UFC® will bring a stacked card to Broomfield on Saturday, February 14 as two top 10 welterweights jockey for position in the talent-rich division. Fifth-ranked Matt Brown clashes with No. 9 Tarec Saffiedine in a Valentine’s Day special that is sure to bring the action. Brown (21-12, fighting out of Columbus, Ohio) has finished all but two of his 21 victories, securing 13 by way of knockout. The heavy-hitting 33-year-old has long been on the brink of title contention with wins over UFC standouts such as Mike Swick and Mike Pyle, and he hopes that an impressive performance over Saffiedine (15-4, fighting out of Temecula, Calif.) will get him one step closer to that elusive shot at UFC gold. Former STRIKEFORCE® champion and Belgium native Saffiedine has won five of his last six bouts. A black belt in Shihaishinkai, a form of karate that includes knockdowns and throws, he’s been honing his grappling techniques under the tutelage of former PRIDE® and STRIKEFORCE champion and U.S. Olympic Team wrestler, Dan Henderson in Southern California and he will prove to be a threat regardless of where the fight goes. In addition, two of the best strikers in the welterweight division will collide in an early Fight of the Night candidate as Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson (10-1, fighting out of Simpsonville, S.C.) meets Denver’s own Brandon Thatch (11-1, fighting out of Denver, Colo.).
