Fans won’t want to miss this debut episode of Centurion FC. CFC 11 features a four-man tournament which will see four warriors contending for the Centurion Belt with the final two fighters facing off in the Main Event. The co-main event pits Eduardo Souza “The Pain Machine” against Alexandre “Lelek” Ribeiro in an all-Brazilian clash.

Speaking of the expansion to the US, President Roberto Gallo remarked, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Centurion FC. Partnering with UFA on the prominent NBCS RSN platform is a major opportunity for us. We’re thrilled and eagerly anticipate delivering our best to the American audience and pay back the trust of UFA.”

Centurion FC was established in 2017 as a national event. Gallo has spearheaded a strategy to transform Centurion into a global entity. With the support of dedicated shareholders, this dream became a reality. Over the past year, Centurion FC has successfully organized nine international events across three continents with the ultimate goal to become one of the top 10 global promotions in the industry.

What’s different about Centurion? “Centurion FC takes immense pride in our collaborative approach with fighters,” said Gallo, “one of our initiatives is to eliminate weight cuts, a practice that senselessly damages fighters’ health and physique. We deeply comprehend the sacrifices fighters make to pursue their dreams. Unlike larger corporations, Centurion was not created with massive backing. We’re a dedicated, hardworking entity with unwavering resilience, determined to carve our space in the MMA arena.”

UFA’s CEO Jordan “Jay” Adams, “Centurion is truly a global brand. In 2024 alone, Centurion has multiple events planned in Malta, Brazil, India, Africa and other exciting locations. It’s going to be a whirlwind year and we’ll have the perfect opportunity to scout for our next international stars. One of President Gallo’s initiatives is to eliminate weight cuts. It will be fun to bring this concept to the states and I’m excited to see how it’s received. Centurion is looking to become the largest promotion in Latin America and UFA looks forward to supporting CFC and we’re thrilled to take part in the Centurion FC adventure!”
