Cage Fury Fighting Championships continues sellout streak in Florida with CFFC 114
Thursday's event from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa streams live on UFC FIGHT PASS
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) returns to Florida this week, marking the fourth event the promotion has hosted in the Sunshine State, and just like the previous three cards, "CFFC 114: Smith vs. St. Louis" is completely sold out.
No tickets remain for Thursday's CFFC 114 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, but fans who weren't able to get a seat can still watch live on UFC FIGHT PASS.
"We're incredibly pleased to continue our partnership with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa," CFFC CEO Rob Haydak said. "This is our fourth time hosting an event at this incredible property, and the fans in the area have shown up each and every time to pack the venue and deliver an electric atmosphere for our incredible athletes, who continue to put on action-packed fights every time they step in the cage.
Tampa's own Blake Smith seeks the second consecutive defense of his lightweight title in the main event of CFFC 114, when he takes on a fast-rising contender in Kendly St. Louis, who has been unbeaten since a move to the 155-pound division. Meanwhile, the co-main event sees a pair of global talents meets for the vacant CFFC flyweight title, as Japan's Makoto Takahashi takes on Brazil's Diego Paiva.
"CFFC continues to search for the best up-and-coming talent across the nation and around the globe, and we're excited to put on another fantastic card Thursday night with two championship matchups at the top of the bill," Haydak said. "We're thankful to the fans who continue to support our events, as well as the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, and we look forward to a fantastic night of entertainment from start to finish."
Current All Elite Wrestling champion and two-time UFC veteran CM Punk calls the action alongside Mixed Martial Arts.com editor-in-chief John Morgan on UFC FIGHT PASS.
