The undefeated Battle-Williams has proven victorious at each of CFFC Muay Thai's first two events, including an impressive decision win over former training partner Brima Kamara in June to claim the organization's inaugural 145-pound title. He'll now look to secure a second belt when he takes on Scarfone, a multiple-time muay Thai world champion who travels in from Canada to make his promotional debut.
Meanwhile, following a highly decorated amateur career, Alatmah made his professional debut at January's CFFC Muay Thai 1, scoring a decision win over Dan O'Neill. He returned five months later, earning a victory over Landon Jones. Now in this third professional appearance, the highly touted Rami Elite athlete looks to take home a CFFC Muay Thai title. Standing in his way is Bruno, a Texas Muay Thai fighter who looks to claim his first world title in his CFFC Muay Thai debut.
A full lineup of matchups for CFFC Muay Thai 3 will be announced shortly. Stay tuned to CFFC.tv for additional information.
