When it comes to summing up fights, AXS TV Fights commentator Pat Miletich knows how to paint a picture. Unfortunately for title challenger Jason Norwood (18-5), his face was the canvas as welterweight champion Chris Curtis (18-5) busted him up over five rounds to defend his CES MMA title in Friday’s CES MMA 49 main event. “Norwood’s face looked like it had seen the ringer,” Miletich said. CES MMA 49 took place at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., and the main card aired on AXS TV. With his latest title defense, “The Action MMA” Curtis has now won five straight fights and eight of his past nine. And with an array of regional-show titles, the 30-year-old is likely to end up in the UFC octagon sooner rather than later
