On Thursday, March 10, 2011, our team at Classic Entertainment & Sports received word that professional fighter Doug Bolanes Jr. had died tragically in an automobile accident earlier that morning. Doug was only 22 years old, but in his brief mixed martial arts career he helped turn our shows into must-see events both in and outside of the cage. Marked by true professionalism and a genuine passion for the sport, Doug was a tremendous athlete, showman and ambassador for mixed martial arts. Doug had recently signed a five-fight contract with CES MMA as the first fighter on our official roster. There is no doubt in our minds Doug would've been a world champion. He had all the tools. Unfortunately, we will never know how far Doug could've gone in this sport, but we will always remember the excitement and anticipation he brought to the table every time he stepped inside that cage. R.I.P., Doug.

Watch the video tribute to Doug's career.
