CES MMA lightweight Luis Felix said he had to accept the fact he might never fight again after suffering a career-threatening injury.

The AXS TV-televised lightweight bout at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI, is one Felix was unsure would ever happen. “The most frustrating part was not being able to be in there competing when it’s not your choice,” Felix told AXS TV ahead of tonight’s bout. “It just came to a point where I just let it go, and I said, ‘I don’t know when it’s going to get better, I don’t know when it’s going to work

He’d hear it at night, that unmistakable sound of human sobbing that came drifting through the walls. Guys would be in their cells, lying on their mattresses, maybe thinking about their lives and what was left of them. Tough guys, acting hard all day, but then in the night every man was alone with himself. Cue the crying. Wilfredo Santiago is a grown man himself now with a life and a burgeoning MMA career, but back then was just a boy, a teenager behind bars with adults in a Massachusetts state prison

Back in April of 2015, when a successful WSOF debut capped off a five-fight victorious streak, Almeida (18-7) was certainly at a high. And then, seven months later, Almeida experienced a first-round submission kick off the three-fight skid he carries into Friday’s CES MMA 42 matchup against Josh LaBerge (11-5). This is not uncharted territory for the 27-year-old, who saw a 13-1 start to his pro career snapped by a three-fight skid not so long ago. He got through it then. And, with two of his recent losses stemming from close split calls, he’s driven to do it once again now
