ARES Fighting Championship announced the signings of Juan Adams, Wilson Reis and Chris Curtis on Wednesday.

Former UFC heavyweight Juan Adams (5-3) has found a new home along with former UFC flyweight title challenger Wilson Reis (23-10) and former PFL playoff contender Chris Curtis (22-8). The trio is now part of the newly established Ares Fighting Championship.

“I’m extremely excited to join ARES,” said Adams, via an official press release. “I think the promotion is already making some waves within MMA circles and is poised to become a major player in the not so distant future. I signed because I’m young in my career and the company is young as well so it’s mutually beneficial for us to grow together.”

While most fight promotions start out small, dipping their toes in and testing the waters on the regional scene, ARES Fighting Championship is the exception. Having just one MMA event in the books, the promotion appears to be all-in. Their second event is set to go down April 3, from the Forest National-Vorst National Arena in Brussels, Belgium, boasting names like Nordine Taleb, John Moraga and Hector Sandoval on the card.

Focusing on the African and European MMA scenes, ARES Fighting Championship hopes to showcase young talent and give them opportunities to shine on an international level. The promotion is less than a year old and they’ve already proven to be an attractive spot for young and hungry talent to sign.

With a current roster of fighters that is already very impressive, you add the signings of Adams, Reis and Curtis, ARES Fighting Championship is sure to get plenty of attention. They appear more than ready to compete with the top promotions in the MMA today and are sure to make more waves as 2020 continues on.
