"CES MMA 38" is less than 48 hours away with the televised main card airing live on AXS from Foxwoods Resort Casino's Fox Theater beginning at 9 p.m. ET. The final press conference and weigh-in is scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday at the casino's Great Cedar Exhibition Hall. This event is open to the public.

All bouts are subject to change. The event is headlined by a featherweight showdown between two former Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) contenders, Levan Makashvili (8-2-1, 3 KOs) of Oceanside, N.Y., and Sean Soriano (9-4, 4 KOs) of Miami, originally born in Providence, R.I. Methuen, Mass., featherweight Calvin Kattar (15-2, 6 KOs) battles Middletown, Conn., vet Chris Foster (9-4, 5 KOs) in the co-main event. With Connecticut's Carlos Candelario forced to withdraw from the card due to an injury, the three-round middleweight bout between Quincy, Mass., native Mike Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs) and Wisconsin's John Poppie (7-3, 2 KOs) has been added to the main card.
