The UFC has a banger of a card this weekend, while Bellator has a tape-delayed European card that fans aren’t exactly stoked about. What about the rest of the MMA world? Glad you asked.
CES MMA has an event with some young prospects, but a few more notable names than they usually feature. The welterweight title is up for grabs in a contest between Chris Curtis (17-5) and Jason Norwood (18-4). Curtis brings serious athleticism and has earned a very good record on the regional scene, with wins over Nah-Shon Burrell (more on him later), Bellator vet Ron Keslar, and Gil de Freitas.
