CFFC 98 results: Yohan Lainesse wins belt with body shots; Solomon Renfro scores violent TKO

BAD MMA News — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:25:07 +0000

Yohan Lainesse claimed the CFFC welterweight title from Evan Cutts on Saturday with a stoppage that some viewed as questionable. After a back-and-forth striking fight for seven minutes, Lainesse (7-0) got the TKO of Cutts (12-5) at the 2:17 mark of Round 1 in the CFFC 98 headliner courtesy of a plethora of body shots. Referee Gasper Oliver stopped the fight before Cutts dropped to the ground or folded due to the body shots, which caused the now ex-champion to protest in the immediate aftermath. Nevertheless, Lainesse was awarded the belt to take back home to Canada after the main event bout, which took place at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia and streamed on UFC Fight Pass. Lainesse started the fight with an incredibly high striking output coming from both the hands and feet.

CFFC champion Evan Cutts believes pace will be problem for ‘firecracker’ Yohan Lainesse

BAD MMA News — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 19:05:37 +0000

After one of the most grueling title wins in CFFC history, you’ll forgive reigning welterweight champ Evan Cutts if he’s not exactly intimidated by the next test in front of him. Sure, he knows undefeated challenger Yohan Lainesse brings some impressive tools to the cage, but Cutts also knows a thing or two about fighting vaunted strikers. “I feel like I’m 7- or 8-1 against undefeated guys,” Cutts said. “I think twice now I fought some knockout artist that was supposed to knock me out in the first round, and they did not, and they lost. I’ve had other fights with other tough guys before.” Coming from any other fighter, Cutts ‘ words might ring a bit hollow

Evan Cutts taking gladiator mentality into CFFC 94: ‘Either kill him or come back on my shield’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 15:43:24 +0000

For Evan Cutts , martial arts hasn’t ever really been about fame and glory. Instead, it’s been more of a path of pure competition and a journey of self-betterment. “It makes me a better person,” Cutts said of his fighting career. “I say that chuckling, but I do really believe that there is a warrior spirit inside some people, and if it’s not exercised in the proper way, it’s going to manifest in unhealthy ways, and whether that’s an external unhealthy way where you’re getting pissed off and doing something you regret, or it’s an internal thing and you’re suffering from depression, I think some people have to address that warrior spirit, and that’s something that’s just inside me as a person.” Cutts , who also serves as an owner and operator of Fitness Fight Factory in Texas, hasn’t been able to address that warrior spirit quite as much as he’d like over the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic forced him to spend extra time focused on his business, and fight bookings were few and far between on the regional stage, leaving him inactive since December 2019. But things are looking up in 2021, with Cutts (11-4) set to headline Thursday’s CFFC 94 event, which streams live on UFC Fight Pass from Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena.
