That championship bout featured Jose Perez, winner of two straight, taking on Frank “Chopper” Wells. Wells had also won two in a row, and had spent his enter four-fight pro career under the Cage Fury banner. With slightly more experience, Perez boasted a 5-1 record inside the CFFC cage, while having featured in a single fight outside the promotion.

Also in action at CFFC 112 in Philly was James Clarke, the BTC flyweight champion. Ontario, Canada’s Clarke had won five straight, and had picked up another regional title in his last outing. Clarke was paired up with another top flyweight prospect, Aaron La Farge, with the winner potentially knocking at the door of the big leagues.

Almost a year ago, La Farge (5-2) suffered a loss that made him retire. He was done with the sport of MMA at the age of 30. After a few months of reflection and really dealing with his emotions, he decided to give the sport that he had given so much to another shot.

In his last outing, six months after his devasting loss, he picked up the SMASH Global flyweight belt by defeating highly touted Raz Bring. It was a big win for La Farge because the win made him believe he is one of the best 125ers outside of a major promotion.

The now 31-year-old California product returns to action this Friday in the co-main event of CFFC 112 against Canada’s James Clark.

Last week La Farge wrote on Twitter that he was disappointed that he hasn’t gotten enough coverage on prospect lists.

It’s upsetting I’m not on any prospect radar for any of these mma people. More fuel for the fire 🔥.

With his fight being on UFC Fight Pass, he knows a win over Clark will put him on everyone’s radar.

“It’s exciting. It’s everything you work for, and it’s all the hard work. I’m ready to introduce myself to the world,” La Farge told Cageside Press in an exclusive interview. “A lot of people are gonna see this fight…This is one of the biggest flyweights fights outside of the UFC so I’m excited about this opportunity. I really think I could show my skills to everybody and really show what I’m about.”

La Farge likes the match-up and believes all Clark has is wrestling.

“I personally like it. I think it’s stylistically a really good match-up for us. Obviously, I’ve talked to all my people, my team, and my coaches- we really liked this match-up…” La Farge said. “He’s just really one-dimensional. He’s kind of just a strong wrestler. But, I mean, it’s something I’ve seen before. He literally has very little striking, but I’m not underestimating him one bit. But his striking is not even on the level of [my last opponent].”

A win over Clark could set La Farge up for a CFFC title shot which would do wonders for his career, and that is what the Californian is planning for.

From retirement to a potential CFFC title shot, it’s all part of the journey.

“I just feel like James is just a stepping stone to where I’m going. This is exactly where I want to be in my journey, and I’m excited about it.”

La Farge (4-1) returns to Lights Out Xtreme Fighting on October 30 when he meets undefeated fighter Cody Davis (3-0). La Farge will be looking for this second win in the promotion after he submitted Artur Arutyunyan back in August.

The flyweight from California plans on getting his second finish in the promotion by any means necessary.

“I’m going to be hunting for a finish. He is a decision fighter; I’m not. I’m a finisher, as you can see on my record. I know in the bigger leagues, that is what they like. They don’t like point fighters; they don’t like decisionators. That’s not me,” La Farge told Cageside Press in an exclusive interview. “I’m interested in what he is going to bring to the table. I feel like I’m going to dictate where this fight is going to be finished at. I don’t know if I’m going to finish him on the feet or the ground, but I’ll take either one.”

La Farge is looking to make a run to get into the UFC, and it starts with a win over David on Saturday. Once he gets to the promotion, there is already a name he wants, Jake Hadley. The pair had some words over Twitter, and La Farge intends to fight him eventually.

“There’s a guy named Jake Hadley. We had some beef back and forth before he was in the UFC. Cage Warriors, the organization he came out of, has been having fights in California. I was talking to the matchmakers and trying to make the fight happen. He basically turned it down. He didn’t say yes. It was a little upsetting,” La Farge said. He would go on to say that he has the style to beat Hadley and would love to fight him in the future.
