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."

For Immediate Release.
[Springfield, Massachusetts - December 27, 2013] If you want to make it big you just can’t sit still and wait for the knock on the door. You have to be front and center. Be seen, be heard, maybe even be a pain, be noticed.
Kriss Famouss had a busy year in 2013. He released two singles on iTunes along with two music videos entitled "1 Hunnett" and "Bout That Life". Towards the end of 2013, a new manager was in place and things were on a roll.
Kriss Famouss said, "Bring on 2014!! 2013 was extremely busy. I felt like I was on the hustle 24-7. If I wasn’t in the studio shooting videos or coming up with the next hook, I was hanging out with my kids. But nothing will stop me from my dream of being the next big rap mogul in the music and business world. I am very grateful for all the support I received from my fans, man I love my fans!!”.
