Description

Cage Fury Fighting Championships sets the stage for one of the most visually stunning and unique events in its 20-year history as it partners with The Union League of Philadelphia for "The Thrill on the Hill." The primary challenge for the athletes competing on this historic, outdoor card at the Union League Liberty Hill grounds is performing under the unique elements of an open-air amphitheater. The objective for undefeated former welterweight champion Kevin "Sweet Peas" Pease is to achieve champ-champ status by dropping down a division to challenge reigning lightweight kingpin Will "I Am" Starks for the undisputed CFFC Lightweight Championship.

Strategically, the goal for Pease is to carry his signature explosive power down to 155 pounds without sacrificing his cardiovascular output over the championship distances. Concurrently, the tactical focus for Starks will be utilizing his veteran cage generalship and high-level wrestling to stifle the challenger's momentum and secure a statement defense. In the co-main event, the mission for Pennsylvania's own heavy-hitting Ben Coyle is to capture the interim flyweight crown as he welcomes the highly touted promotional newcomer Moshe "Straw Hat" Aladi. With the ultimate goal of securing a direct ticket to the UFC via Dana White's Contender Series this summer, every fighter under the lights knows an impressive finish could alter the trajectory of their career.
