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.
