CFFC 98: Santo Curatolo not one to talk, but insists ‘all that hype about me wasn’t a fluke’

Dealing with a loss was a new feeling for Santo Curatolo , and one the former CFFC champ doesn’t really want to get all too familiar with moving forward. But the 26-year-old flyweight says he learned the lessons needed and is now ready to start storming through the division once again. “I’m just really looking forward to getting back in there and showing everybody that all that hype about me wasn’t a fluke,” Curatolo said. “Just get back in there and perform and do what I’ve always done and get my title back.” Curatolo opened his professional career with five straight first-round finishes and seemed destined for a spot in the UFC. However, this past October, Alberto Trujillo spoiled those plans and went toe-to-toe with Curatolo before stopping him in the second round. Nasty leg kicks were a huge part of Trujillo’s arsenal, and it left Curatolo dealing with complications after the contest.

If you subscribe to the theory that flyweights don’t finish fights, you may want to change your mind after watching this, from newly-crowned Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight champion Santo Curatolo . On a night of fights that saw five of the six UFC Fight Pass-streamed bouts produce first-round stoppages, Curatolo (5-0) stole the show with a stunning left hand that finished his flyweight title fight with James Mancini after just 65 seconds. Curatolo calmly stalked Mancini (6-5) around the cage at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia before dropping his man hard with a lead left hook – his first serious punch of the fight – to force the referee to dive in and stop the fight. https://twitter.com/UFCFightPass/status/1293734824184864768 The victory saw Curatolo capture the vacant CFFC flyweight title and place himself firmly in the mix for a potential UFC – or Contender Series – call-up.
