The Classic Entertainment and Sports welterweight championship has a new address.
Team Link’s Gil de Freitas captured the vacant 170-pound title, as he submitted Chip Moraza-Pollard with a first-round kneebar in the CES MMA 31 headliner on Friday at the Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I. The end came 4:37 into round one, the pain too much for Moraza-Pollard (10-9) to bear.
De Freitas (18-5) stalked the Team Sityodtong product from the outset, walking through kicks high and low while waiting for an opportunity to present itself.
