DWCS Vet Dinis Paiva Hoping For A Title Shot With CES 62 Victory

Interview with Dinis Paiva above – Check it out

Dinis Paiva (13-8) discusses his bantamweight fight against Josh Smith (9-6) at CES 62 on April 30.  Dinis also talks about dropping back down to bantamweight, his training camp, and where a win would put him.

“I think a big solid win for me at 135-pounds could maybe open up another opportunity at DWCS, or a short notice call up or the CES bantamweight title. We all know what happens with the CES bantamweight title, all the guys who have held that title have gone to the UFC.”
