Jan 29, 2016 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) –NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Catch the action inside
and outside the cage March 11 when #CESMMA returns to Twin River
Casino, LIVE on AXS TV FIGHTS at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
In the main event, with the inaugural #CESMMA World Bantamweight Championship at stake, “The Asian Sensation” Andre Soukhamthath battles Kody Nordby. Both fighters recently went on record saying scorecards won’t be necessary for this war.
Returning the cage, former #CESMMA World Welterweight Champion
“Cold Steel” Chuck O’Neil faces off against #Bellator bad boy
Dennis
Olson. Both fighters acknowledge the stakes are high, as each
needs an impressive win to get in title contention.
In heavyweight action, Juliano Coutinho, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt submission specialist, collides with American Top Team powerhouse Chaz Morgan. “Banana” is on a roll with six finishes in his last seven fights. Morgan, making his first appearance in the CES MMA cage, won his first nine bouts in dominating fashion.
Former CES MMA World Lightweight Champion and UFC veteran, Julian Lane takes on East Providence stud Nate Andrews. Lane, who lost the title to current Champion Luis Felix, needs an impressive win to get back in title contention. Andrews, who has finishes in seven of his eight career wins, sees this as a statement fight that he needs to win in impressive fashion.
Kicking off the televised portion of the card, in a highly anticipated rematch, featherweight Joe Pingitore seeks redemption at the expense of Taylor Trahan, who earned a hard-fought submission win in their first outing in 2014. Pingitore, coming off an impressive win at #CES29, is hunting for his sixth victory. Trahan, fighting out of Team Link North, gave current UFCer Kyle Bochniak all he could handle at #CES32 and is anxious to prove his first fight with Pingitore was no fluke.
