Mchunu's opponent Olanrewaju "God's Power" Durodola was not present because weather complications delayed his flight.

The top quotes and press conference Q&A are highlighted below.
Patrick Majewski: "This is my shot in the middleweight division, to start existing in the middleweight division. Curtis Stevens is a known fighter. I'm not yet. To be known I have to pass through him. I am ready to get it on."

Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO: "Curtis . . . proved in (the Gennady Golovkin) fight that he belongs in . . .the elite of the middleweight division. And he made it clear to us that he wanted to get back in the middleweight title picture as soon as possible. This one really should be a brawl."
Curtis Stevens: "Come Friday it is my road to redemption. I just have to go in there and not think so much and let my hands go. Friday starts my way back to the top of the elite in the middleweight division.

Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO, speaking of Mchunu - Durodola fight:
"This is the kind of fight that I am really proud of. We are going to be able to introduce this division to the boxing world and to the casual fans. I think everyone is going to be richer for it."
"I think that the winner of this fight in particular, and maybe even the loser, are going to be factors in the cruiserweight division for a long time."

Thabiso Mchunu: "I am ready to go. . .My opponent has quite a good record and I hope he is ready for what I am going to bring for him. I hope to put on a good show . . . on Friday night."
PRESS CONFERENCE Q&A
Question for Patrick Majewski: Do you think that you are prepared for Curtis Stevens' power?
Patrick: "I don't think, I know! When I agreed to this fight I knew what he is capable of. I better be ready and I am feeling ready."
Question for Curtis Stevens: Sometimes people historically have letdowns in a comeback fight. You just lost a big fight to Gennady Golovkin do you feel prepared to win this fight?
Curtis: "Well if I wasn't prepared I wouldn't have taken the fight. I just came off a loss so why would I want to lose again? I trained very hard. Like I said before I thought a little too much in my first title match. I overthought and not reacted so my job is no thinking just reacting."
Question for Curtis Stevens: Do you think you should have picked an easier fight for your comeback fight?
Curtis: "Nothing is easy. Waking up in the morning isn't easy. Walking out of my building isn't easy. I didn't sign up for nothing easy. I am a top elite middleweight and once again if I am going to be middleweight champion of the world so why not take an elite fighter on like Majewski. I am sure ready to be back where I am supposed to be."
Question for Thabiso Mchunu: They say Durodola's name is "God's Power" how will you combat this power?
Thabiso: "Well I can also punch myself. Believe me I can punch harder than he can. I am a smart boxer and I believe in my boxing ability more than my power but I can also punch."

The following are quotes from the participants and notes from the Thursday, Jan. 16th, 2014 pep rally to promote "CES MMA XX," scheduled for Friday, Jan. 24th, 2014 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I. Tickets are available online at www.cesmma.com and www.ticketmaster.com.
Shaun Marmas, 5-5-1 (1 KO)
On moving down to 135 pounds for his upcoming fight against Matt Doherty:
"It was just at 145 I don't really cut much and guys are cutting more and more. It's more of a business decision, making the smarter move, and bumping up my training, bringing basically a whole new camp for this fight and pushing it. I think I'll definitely be stronger. At 145, expect for like, my very last fight, I didn't feel like the guys were stronger than me. I felt like I could stand with them. I've got the reach advantage and I feel I'll be stronger than most guys at 135. I feel this is the best move for me. I'm ready to make an impact and make my name at 135.
CES MMA featherweight champ Rob Font, 8-1-1 (2 KOs)
On his outlook for 2014 as he prepares to face New Jersey's Ahsan Abdullah:
"I'm definitely trying to forget about 2013 and come into 2014 taking names and collecting bodies, pretty much. I'm here to win and fight. I definitely want to fight bigger and better fighters in 2014. This next fight, he's definitely a tough fighter. He has a real aggressive style. Comes forward, comes from a great camp. The guy's driving from New York, so you know he's trying to take that long ride home with an 'L' so he's going to bring the fight. I think he has a perfect style for me. He's coming forward, and I'm a better counter-puncher than coming forward, so, pretty much, I'm going to catch him coming in."
Dinis Paiva Jr., 3-5 (1 KO)
On trying to rebound from a tough finish in 2013:
"I'm coming off two losses and I want to come out with a real strong win this year. I think it's going to be a good year. I'm training out of CCFA now. Got a great group of guys I'm working with up there. The camaraderie's tight, the brotherhood's tight, and I'm definitely feel I'm on my 'A' game and the best I've ever been. There are always different variables in this sport. Going into the cage, you can lose at any moment, so it's hard to tell. I feel good, I feel confident, I feel headstrong, and I've got a good camp backing me up. It's definitely a good thing."
Andre Soukhamthath, 7-1 (4 KOs)
On his upcoming bout with Kin Moy and his new training camp in Florida:
"I'm on the card with a lot of my friends and I probably, have, on paper, the toughest test so far, going against an undefeated fighter. Real explosive, real fast. He's definitely no slouch. You're going to win some and lose some, so I just want to go in there and perform. That's what I'm focused on, because if you put too much pressure on yourself you can't perform to your abilities. I just go in there and do my thing. That's what I train for. I definitely feel like I'm a lot stronger. I'm going with a lot of tough guys, a lot of high-level guys. In order to beat me, you're going to have to take my soul away. "
Todd Chattelle, 12-9 (9 KOs)
On his faith in God and the role it plays in his career:
"if I didn't have faith I'd be like, 'Whatever. I'm done. There's no point in this,' but 20, 30 years from now, no matter how well I do, I'll be 60, 70 years old, even 40 and 50 years from now, if we're still around, God willing, we're talking to some kid at the bar or the club and we're like, 'I used to be tough! I used to be No. 1 in New England!' which I was, and then they're going to be like, 'Yeah, right. Whatever, old man,' so all this isn't going to matter. What's going to matter is the memories I put together and being a good man for my family and whoever else, any brother or sister out there who wants to come to me and ask my advice. I can give them God, hopefully."
