Cage Fury Fighting at Resorts
Resorts host a fight night with the Cage Fury Fighting Championships, May 20.
Cage Fury Fighting Championships is back at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City with CFFC: 8 “Seek N Destroy,” an event honoring the United States Military Forces right before Memorial Day weekend on Friday, May 20.
Fresh off another sold out event, CFFC is back with another action packed card. The main event features veteran welterweight Doug “Flash” Gordon taking on rising star Joey “Boom Boom” Rivera. With a record of 11-9, Gordon has fought almost all the top welterweights in the East Coast, including UFC and Bellator veterans. In his last fight Gordon knocked out previously undefeated Jesus Martinez in just 50 seconds of their first round bout to capture another title.
Joey “Boom Boom” Rivera was born and raised in Vineland, New Jersey and moved to Arizona where found a passion for MMA. Rivera went on a ferocious tear going 5-0 with five stoppages in the first round! Will his return home bring him glory or will he end up on Gordon’s hit list?
In the co-main event, current lightweight champion, Marques Daniels will take on Jay Coleman in his long awaited return to action. The rest of the main card will not only feature established pros and up-and-comers, it will also showcase the return of Olympic Alternate Kyle Cerminara and Brazilian sensation Regiclaudio 'Kexada' in his America debut in separate bouts.
