WAREHAM, Mass. - Jan. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Local mixed martial artist, Jeff Perez of Straight Blast Gym (SBG) East Coast headquarters in Wareham, defeated current featherweight champion Ricky Proctor this weekend to become the new Cage Titans Featherweight champion.

Perez’s victory capped off a perfect week of MMA competition for the martial arts organization, coming just six days after his teammates from SBG Ireland racked up a clean 3-0 sweep at UFC Fight Night Boston – including fast-rising star and event headliner Conor McGregor, who secured his own featherweight title shot that night.

Perez, a former two-tour marine veteran, balances a rigorous training schedule while working full-time as the SBG East Coast academy manager.  Along with his home team where he does the majority of his training, he also cross-trains regularly with Massachusetts affiliates, Connors MMA and Sityodtong Boston, as well as other branches of the SBG organization, including multiple trips to SBG Ireland.

His dominant victory came as a surprise to many on the New England MMA scene. Although a local favorite, Perez was widely viewed as the underdog going into the event. In their review of the bout, media outlet Regional Fight Sports wrote:

“The next fight surprised many…. Initially, we believed that Proctor would have a distinct grappling advantage over the striker Perez, but it wasn't to be. Someone apparently forgot to remind Perez that he was a striker, as he took Proctor down seemingly at will with powerful slams and out positioned him, battering the young champion en route to a doctor’s stoppage…. Perez seems to be the next big thing in that division, as he has the weapons to stay on top of a while if he keeps training the way he’s been.”
