How to watch Friday's 'CFFC 158: Hamill vs. Pauley' event: Start time, full fight card, more
Ohio's Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati plays host, with action streaming live on UFC FIGHT PASS and OnlyFans
On Friday, Cage Fury Fighting Championships heads to "The Buckeye State" for the very first time on Friday, where the spectacular Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati plays host to "CFFC 158: Hamill vs. Pauley."
The 11-bout lineup features a new headliner after flyweight prospect Casey Norton was forced to withdraw from the matchup just one week out, and a suitable replacement was not found for undefeated submission ace Livio Ribeiro. However the misfortune of those two prospects provides an incredible opportunity for a couple of Ohio athletes who will now get increased shine on the night.
Included in that is new headliner Liam "The Hitman" Hamill, from nearby Loveland, who now takes on Michigan's Ethan Pauley in the welterweight main event, which will remain scheduled at three rounds.
Meanwhile, the co-feature sees Cincinnati's own Cornell Beachem Jr. returning to the CFFC cage to take the always-game Eman "The One Who Knocks" Hardy in another key matchup at 170 pounds.
The new-look lineup features intriguing stakes with a local flavor, as Cage Fury Fighting Championships officials introduce the company's signature high-energy live events to an Ohio audience for the first time.
