Following UFC release, Juan Adams signs with Ares FC
Juan Adams quickly has found a new home.
Former UFC heavyweight Adams (5-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC), who earned a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, made good in his promotional debut with a finish over Chris de la Rocha. But he failed to pick up another win during his UFC tenure.
He lost three straight to Arjan Bhullar, Greg Hardy and, most recently, Justin Tafa at UFC 247. He subsequently was released from the promotion.
But it didn’t take long for the young Jackson Wink MMA prospect to sign with a new promotion. Adams now is the newest addition to the Ares FC roster, the promotion announced Tuesday.
The new Afro-French promotion has been making big moves, having also recently signed former UFC flyweight title challenger Wilson Reis, former UFC welterweight Nordine Taleb and former PFL welterweight Chris Curtis.
