CES 54 takes place Saturday in Lincoln, Rhode Island at Twin River Resort and Casino. The CES 54 card features two title fights in both headlining spots.
In the co-main event, Tony Gravely puts his recently earned bantamweight title on the line. Gravely earned his title at the previous CES event, CES 53. There, after a last-second opponent change, Gravely took on Kody Nordby for the promotions vacant bantamweight title. It didn’t take long for the two to engage. In the opening minute, Nordby clamped on a tight arm-bar.
