Background
Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) is proud to announce the promotion’s return to the Horseshoe Tunica Hotel & Casino for another night of action-packed entertainment on Friday, July 29.
In the night’s featured bout, undefeated middleweight prospect and former CFFC NextGen champ Miles Lee (3-0) faces Arkansas standout Donovan “The Highlight Reel” Beard (6-1) for the CFFC middleweight title, which was vacated when former champion Aaron Jeffery signed with Bellator MMA.
Additionally, the night’s co-main event sees undefeated welterweight prospect Raheam “Rambo” Forest (4-0) face off with thrilling fan-favorite Trevor “The Man Blackie Chan” Ollison (5-4).
The 24-year-old Lee fought most recently in December, extending his perfect pro record with a decision win over Earl Small at CFFC 104. All three of Lee’s professional fights thus far have taken place under the CFFC banner, following a run of three straight wins in the amateur ranks with CFFC’s NextGen division. He’ll now take on Beard, who last saw action in May, scoring a first-round stoppage win on the Arkansas regional scene. Beard’s last three victories have all come by way of stoppage.
Also confirmed for the card are several other stellar matchups, as well, including DeAndre “The Protege” Anderson (5-2) vs. Beau Samaniego (3-1), Reggie “Spider Monkey” Adams (6-3) vs. Justice “The Gavel” Lamperez (6-5), and Jonathan “War Hawk” Piersma (3-1) vs. “Terrible” TJ Welch (2-2).
