Lightweight Main Event
Richie Lewis vs. Benjamin Orozco
CFFC 145 features a highly-anticipated main event. Talented wrestler Richie Lewis (6-1) will face submission artist Benny Orozco (5-1). Lewis looks to make his promotional debut following a tough loss. His hands will be full in taking on Orozco who is surging on the regional scene heading into Saturday night.
Lewis, 31, comes into this main event with a chip on his shoulder. The former collegiate wrestler fell short in his last contest, but now looks to return to the win column. Lewis started his MMA career in 2021, quickly building a record of 6-0 by June 2024. He managed to capture the LFA lightweight title. However, he lost the title to Richie Miranda in April. Expect Lewis to bring an exhausting pace to the octagon alongside quality takedowns and ground and pound.
Orozco, 29, goes into Saturday night riding the momentum of a three fight win streak dating back to May 2024. The talented grappler has fought in various sectors of the regional scene. He made appearances in Cage Warriors, LFA, and more promotions. He carries more experience than Lewis given his extensive background in the amateur circuit. Orozco went 5-0 as an amateur, earning four stoppage victories. Fans can expect slick submission threats from Orozco knowing that four of his five professional victories have come via submission.
Prediction: Richie Lewis via Unanimous Decision
