Collin Huckbody (9-2) vs. Aaron Jeffery (9-2)
The COVID-19 era has led some organizations to adopt a new event format. Instead of spreading out dates across multiple weeks and months, these companies choose to run shows on consecutive nights. So is the case this week for Cage Fury Fighting Championships, which delivers CFFC 92 on Thursday and follows with CFFC 93 on Friday. The latter of these efforts includes a middleweight title tilt between champion Collin Huckbody and challenger Aaron Jeffery.
“Young Huck” enters on the strength of a six-fight winning streak. The 26-year-old made his pro debut in 2017 after a 6-1-1 amateur run and went just 3-2 through his first five appearances, including a decision loss to Bevon Lewis at Legacy Fighting Alliance 38. Huckbody found his groove in the second half of 2018 and kicked off his current streak with a decision nod over sub-.500 fighter Thomas Krenzel. He marched through 2019 by adding another decision victory and two submissions. T

Yousufzai said he will banking on his own striking to match the explosive fighting style of the Filipino UFC veteran when they clash in their flyweight bout in BRAVE CF 47: Asian Domination on March 11.
“Anything can happen inside the cage. I believe that I have the ability to match whatever he throws at me on fight night,” said Yousufzai. “He is a more experienced fighter than I am. But I am ready for war. I have watched his fights. He is good and tough, but I know what to do against him and I know what I am capable of.”
