Baywatch: CES MMA invades Massachusetts April 16th PhilBoxing.com Tue, 05 Apr 2016 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 5th, 2016) -- CES MMA's loaded spring schedule continues Saturday, April 16th, 2016 with the promotion's Massachusetts debut, a star-studded Bay State spectacular featuring rising stars in the professional and amateur ranks. "CES MMA 35," sponsored by Foxwoods Resort Casino at the historic North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, Mass., comes just two weeks after a successful nationally televised event at The Fox Theater in Connecticut, the third and final installment of CES MMA's whirlwind New England tour of three dates in a month-long span. In addition to six pro bouts on the main card, including the final leg of an epic regional trilogy, next weekend's event features an added bonus with 10 amateurs competing for a contract with the fastest-growing promotion in mixed martial arts. Tickets for "CES MMA 35" are priced at $35.00, $50.00 and $100.00 (VIP) and can also be purchased online at www.nsmt.org, by phone at 978-232-7200 or at the North Shore Music Theatre Box Office. Doors open at 6 p.m. ET and the first bout begins at 7. All bouts are subject to change. Headlining "CES MMA 35" is the return of Gloucester, Mass., bantamweight Pedro Gonzalez (10-5, 9 KOs), who faces Boston's Andres Jeudi (7-5, 3 KOs) in the main event. Having battled injuries and setbacks for more than a year and a half, Gonzalez steps back into the cage for the first time since 2014 against the seasoned Jeudi, who has squared off against regional standouts Saul Almeida, Matt Bessette, Leon Davis, Chris Foster and Lucas Cruz. Sparks will fly in the heavyweight division when Tyler King (9-4, 3 KOs) of North Attleboro, Mass., faces Providence's Eric Bedard (6-6, 4 KOs) for the third time in four years with each fighter having won once by first-round knockout. King beat Bedard in February 2012, only to have Bedard avenge the loss nearly two years to the date in 2014. There's even more at stake in the rubber match as each fighter looks to snap a two-fight losing streak. King last fought in October, losing to Patrick Walsh at World Series of Fighting 24, while Bedard suffered a submission loss to Parker Porter at Bellator 140. Also on the pro portion of the card, Quincy, Mass., middleweight Mike Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs) puts his perfect record on the line against Buck Pineau (1-2) of Ashland, Maine in a rematch of their amateur bout in which Pineau won by third-round submission. Pineau returns to CES MMA for the first time since October when an arm injury cut short his match against Pat McCrohan at "CES MMA XXXI." Rounding out the main card of "CES MMA 35," Medford, Mass., lightweight Lewis Corapi (6-2, 3 KOs) faces Keenan Raymond (3-2, 1 KO) of Providence, R.I., who scored his first career knockout win in January at "CES MMA XXXII," and Boston's Devin Carrier (0-1) searches for his first win as a pro in a lightweight bout against Meriden, N.H., native Wayne Ahlquist (1-2, 1 KO). Corapi looks to rebound from a stunning second-round knockout loss to Jay Bakanowski at "CES MMA XXVIII." Rico DiSciullo (5-0, 2 KOs), an undefeated Peabody, Mass., native with three appearances each for Bellator and CES MMA, will be featured in a separate bantamweight bout. DiSciullo last appeared in August on the main card of "CES MMA XXX," defeating Ohio's Jake Constant, who tapped out in the opening round due to a shoulder injury. On the amateur side, Mark Bordieri of Foxborough, Mass., faces Nick O'Connell of Cranston, R.I., in a bantamweight bout; welterweight Jamie Collins of Woonsocket, R.I., battles Boston's Jon Ciampa; and Aaron Reverdes of Pawtucket, R.I., faces Joao Ramos of Framingham, Mass., in a featherweight bout. Also on the amateur portion of the card, Providence's Marquis Brewster faces Billy Keenan of Salem, Mass., and Boston's Sean Murrin (1-0, 1 KO) battles featherweight John Douma (2-1) of Providence. All amateurs are competing for a promotional contract with CES MMA.
