Cage Fury Fighting Championships brings stacked lineup to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City
CFFC 107 set for April 15 with featherweight title up for grabs in main event
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Cage Fury Fighting Championships returns home to the historic Boardwalk for the first time in 2022 for "CFFC 107: Bilder vs. Carvalho," which takes place Friday, April 15, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
In the night's main event, unbeaten CFFC featherweight champion Blake Bilder (5-0-1) seeks the first defense of his belt when he takes on Brazilian challenger and Glover Teixeira protégé Regivaldo "Magrao" Carvalho (6-3). Additionally, the night's co-main event features a thrilling lightweight contest between dangerous prospects Charlie "The Cannibal" Campbell (5-1) and Feraris Golden (3-2), while former CFFC flyweight champion Santo Curatolo (6-2), fan-favorite featherweight BJ "RicanRebel" Young (4-3) and undefeated heavyweight Greg "The Viking King" Velasco (3-0) are all expected to be in action, as well.
Tickets are on sale now at CFFC.tv. The event streams live on UFC FIGHT PASS.
"The past few years have seen our promotion grow into a national powerhouse, but there's absolutely nothing better than coming back home to Atlantic City," CFFC President Rob Haydak said. "Blake Bilder delivered one of the most amazing comeback wins of the year to take the belt in December at the exact same venue, and now we get to pair him up with a dangerous Brazilian with a penchant for finishing in Regivaldo Carvalho. That headliner will have some real fireworks, and the entire card is going to be absolutely electric, as it always is inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City."
Bilder claimed the CFFC's vacant featherweight title in December, battling back from some early adversity against late replacement Frank Buenafuente to score an incredibly memorable championship win via technical submission. He now looks to notch the first defense of his title in hopes of catching the attention of the sport's biggest promotions, but Carvalho has different plans. The 28-year-old "Magrao" made his promotional debut in October, scoring an impressive first-round submission win over Timothy Teves, and now looks to start making some real noise of his own by claiming the CFFC title.
Additional bouts will be added shortly.
Current AEW wrestling superstar and two-time UFC veteran CM Punk calls the action at CFFC 107 alongside The Underground editor-in-chief John Morgan on UFC FIGHT PASS.
