How to watch Saturday's 'CFFC BJJ 16: Kochel vs. Taza' event: Start time, full lineup, more
Philadelphia's historic 2300 Arena plays host to event, which streams live on UFC FIGHT PASS and OnlyFans
On Saturday, Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) returns to Philadelphia's historic 2300 Arena for CFFC BJJ 16, where the organization will feature a brand new ruleset to further strengthen the promotion's ties with UFC BJJ.
With an incredible lineup of 17 total matches, CFFC BJJ 16 features an eight-match main card on UFC FIGHT PASS, five preliminary bouts at OnlyFans.com/cffcmma, and four youth matches that open the night on YouTube.
Headlining CFFC BJJ 16 is 12-time CFFC BJJ veteran Andrew Kochel, who steps up the main event on short notice after Sean Brady was forced to withdraw from the contest. He now takes on Oliver Taza, a John Danaher black belt who incredibly received that designation back in 2020 after just six years of training and who owns a pair of wins under the UFC Fight Pass Invitational banner, prior to the launch of UFC BJJ.
Additionally, the night's co-main event sees 10-time UFC veteran and former freestyle wrestling standout Alexandr Romanov take on promotional newcomer Brian Newman, while a featured bout sees 13-year-old sensation Joslyn Molina face seasoned Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Ansley Cox.
The eight-match CFFC BJ5 15 main card streams live beginning at 8 p.m. ET exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS, the UFC's digital streaming service, which currently offers month-to-month subscriptions, as well as discounted rates for 12-month subscriptions.
