CES MMA, which had a home on AXS TV for five years, has a new broadcast home for 2019.
The Rhode Island-based promotion is moving to UFC Fight Pass this year. It’s first event on the streaming platform will be CES MMA 54, which takes place Jan. 19 at Twin River Casino in Linoln, R.I. That venue hosts the majority of the promotion’s events, including five in 2018 and six in 2017.
“Live streaming is the future of our sport and the team at UFC Fight Pass are the most talented in the industry,” CES MMA CEO Jimmy Burchfield Jr. stated. “Joining forces provides us with innovative marketing tools and a quality streaming platform that is recognized all over the world. We are proud of the reputation that CES MMA fighters are UFC ready and viewers all over the world will soon get to see why.”
Nate Andrews will put his 155-pound belt up against challenger Bryce Logan in the CES MMA 54 main event. The co-feature is a bantamweight title fight between champ Tony Gravely and Kris Moutinho.
CES MMA helped give starts to current UFC fighters like Rob Font, Calvin Kattar, Kyle Bochniak, Andre Soukhamthath, Charles Rosa and Mike Rodriguez. The UFC recently announced it will feature more than 200 live events on UFC Fight Pass in 2019.
The CES MMA 54 lineup includes:
- Champ Nate Andrews vs. Bryce Logan – for lightweight title
- Champ Tony Gravely vs. Kris Moutinho – for bantamweight title
- Stephen Regman vs. Eric Spicely
