Two-time UFC vet Naoki Inoue signs with CFFC, meets Sean Santella in February.



A former UFC flyweight has found a new home.

Cage Fury Fighting Championships officials today informed MMAjunkie that the promotion has signed 21-year-old Japanese prospect Naoki Inoue (11-1), who now meets veteran flyweight Sean Santella (20-7-1) at CFFC 72.

Featuring a pair of title fights in the headlining contests, CFFC takes place Feb. 16 at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City, N.J. The main card streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

Inoue’s two UFC appearances both came in Singapore. In June 2017, Inoue picked up a unanimous decision win over Carls John de Tomas at UFC Fight Night 111. One year later, Inoue came up on the wrong end of a split-decision result against Matt Schnell at UFC Fight Night 132.

Inoue began his professional career in 2015 at just 17 years old. Seven of his 11 career wins have come by submission.

Meanwhile, Santella has been featured on the Northeast regional scene since 2008, including 11 previous appearances under the CFFC banner. “Shorty Rock” has earned 14 of his 20 career wins via tapout.
