FFC 31 CBSSN Oct.12th Las Vegas

[MMALOPEZ]

The main event is set for “FFC 31 Night of Champions” and it will consist of two rising stars in Mixed Martial Arts as Clay “Cassius” Collard (16-7-1) of Price, UT, battles Dave “Insane” Courchaine (20-7-0) of Cheney, WA, for the FFC MMA Lightweight Championship at the all-new Fight Dome Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.

After suffering two straight losses under the UFC banner in 2015, Collard returned to MMA in 2018 and responded with two straight victories, a TKO win over Troy Dennison, and a submission win (by triangle choke) against Carson Gregory.

As for Courchaine, he was on a five-fight win streak dating back to 2014 before losing to Arthur Estrazulas by 1st round KO in January of 2017. Both fighters are hungry and both fighters have something to prove when they step into the ring on Oct. 12.

There will be one other MMA title bout on the “Night of Champions” as Ben Egli (10-2-0) of Tigard, OR, takes on Brazilian, Roberto Neves (10-3-0) for the FFC Welterweight Title. The remainder of the multi-discipline fight card will consist of championship bouts involving boxing and kickboxing.

The WBU cruiserweight title will be up for grabs in boxing as Dennis Morris (14-2-1) of Milwaukee, WI, goes up against Shawn Miller (18-4-1) of Troy, NY.

In Kickboxing, Glory veteran, François Ambang (18-7-1) of Mechanicsville, VA (via Cameroon), will fight battle-tested Albanian, Shkodran Veseli (83-18-1) for the FFC Welterweight Title, and Brazilian, Jhonata Diniz (16-5-0) faces off against, Croatian sensation, Mladen Brestovac (54-14-1).

“FFC 31 Night of Champions” will broadcast live on CBS Sports Network, Friday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. (PST) and 10 p.m. (EST).

Ahh the WBU. Most respected of all boxing titles.

I watch all combat sports, so I don't mind a mixed card. It appears to me that they got the times wrong in the press release though. My DirecTV DVR grid shows the program at 1 AM Eastern here in Florida, which would be 10 pm Pacific, not 7 pm Pacific and 10 pm Eastern. Also they used PST & EST when it's PDT & EDT this time of year.

1 am EDT and there's the end of a college football game on CBS SN in the time slot where FFC 31 is supposed to run. It's also mislabeled as FFC 33 on the program guide, by the way. Maybe it will start late after this game ends. I always pad the recordings by at least an hour to protect against this eventuality.

Started almost 45 minutes late. Little empty arena. Only 4 fights. I don’t see them making any $$$ in this new Las Vegas adventure.
