A variety of combat sports events

Within the last year, MMA Fight Pass has been known to host events in the Bakersfield area.  These events vary from MMA fights to point muay thai competitions and bracket-style jiu jitsu tournaments.  Most, if not all, of these events have taken place at Elite Fitness Center in Bakersfield. 


Hosting events in a region where there was none, MMA Fight Pass is successfully starting to provide a stage for local up and coming talent.

Enrique Carreno is currently the top amateur lightweight fighter in California

In a recent 2022 analysis of all amateur MMA fight in California, Enrique Carreno's last victory at MMA Fight Pass 3 has placed him at the top of all 155 lb competitors.  This isn't only because of his 2-1 record between January - May 2022, but also because he has been the only amateur lightweight to have fought three times during the same time period.


Carreno is currently the top lightweight fighter in the state based on a new formula being developed to rank California's amateur mixed martial artists.  This formula will not only take into account if the fighter wins or loses, but also if the fighter won dominantly in the first round, if it went to the judges or if the fight concluded in a draw. 


Every possible result is factored in as well as the number of fights in the fighter's resume during the measured period.


The current rankings cover only those who have been active between January - May of 2022.  The goal is to release the first official rankings mid-June taking into account only those fighters and result which took place between January through June.  Follow Cali Fights on Facebook to stay up to date on these rankings.
