Background
CES MMA returns to Ballys Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort on Friday, June 17 for CES 69 with Ashiek Ajim of New York battling Azjavkhlan Baatar of Japan for the vacant CES MMA World Bantamweight Championship.
Ajim makes his seventh appearance with the promotion and first since November in the five-round main event against Baatar for the promotion’s world bantamweight title, which is once again up for grabs due to a breach of contract by former title-holder Diego Silva.
CES 69 also features a light heavyweight showdown between Mike Rodriguez of Boston, who is making his long-awaited homecoming following a five-year stint with the UFC, and Brazilian Marcus Vinicius; plus an all-New England bantamweight showdown between Richie Santiago of Milford, MA, and Harris Bonfiglio of Gilford, CT.
