Mixed martial arts is a fast-moving sport, both inside and outside the cage, and on Saturday night, one man will look to take full advantage of a short-notice chance to shine.
New Jersey native Richie Lewis was already booked to compete at CFFC 145 this weekend, but his matchup with fellow lightweight contender Benny Orozco was originally scheduled to be a main card matchup.
But now, following original main eventer Kyle Daukaus’s late call-up to return to the UFC for UFC Shanghai last weekend, the CFFC matchmakers needed a new headliner, and Lewis and Orozco got the call.
