CAGE FURY FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP 9: BEACH BRAWL was held Friday, June 10, 2011, at the Resorts Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.
In the main event, Renzo Gracie and John Danaher protégé John Cholish submitted former WEC featherweight Jameel "The Sergeant" Massouh to win the vacant CFFC Lightweight Championship. Cholish, who was coming off a submission win in Strikeforce over TUF 12 alum Marc Stevens, was originally scheduled to face Russian fighter Mikhail Malyutin.
Jameel Massouh stepped up as a late replacement (and moved up a weight class) after Malyutin withdrew due to illness. After losing the first round to Massouh, Cholish dropped The Sergeant with a big overhand right in the second round and followed him to the ground, where Cholish finished off Massouh with a guillotine choke.
