BRAEHEAD Arena is hosting a top class bill of Cage Warrior fighters who will battle it out for a 50,000 dollar prize pot.
A host of Scottish talent and a $50,000, one-night PrizeFighter tournament are set to take centre stage as Cage Warriors – Europe’s Leading MMA Organisation – returns to the Arena, on Saturday, September 7 for CW 176.
Scottish MMA icon Chris ‘The Bad Guy’ Bungard is set for a big return to action, attempting to erase the memories of his April defeat in the same arena.
The Holytown man faces Latvian knockout artist Artūrs Leisāns in a must-win affair at 155lbs.
Also on the comeback trail is Greenock’s Reece McEwan, as he looks to mount a second run at the bantamweight title.
He meets French submission artist Miguel ‘Santa Muerte’ Haro at 135lbs.
Glasgow’s Kier Harvey will look to keep his undefeated Cage Warriors record intact, when he takes gritty Welshman Rory Evans, a training partner of the UFC’s Jack Shore.
Elsewhere on the card, the PrizeFighter tournament returns.
Six athletes will take to the cage in pursuit of the $50,000 cash prize, with an additional $10,000 ‘Bounty Hunter Bonus’ on the line for the first tournament fighter who correctly predicts the round and method of their finish.
In addition, the tournament winner will receive a shot at the Cage Warriors welterweight title at a future event.
On Wednesday, August 14th, Sky Sports’ Matt Kabir Floyd and Cage Warriors’ Play-by-Play Commentator Brad Wharton held the live draw, which can be watched in full below.
In the first semi-final, UK-based Jamaican Omiel Brown will put his vaunted KO power to the test against Finnish Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Henri Lintula.
In the second semi-final, 6’4 French striker Bourama Camara will test his mettle against Austrian veteran Marko Kisic.
Finally, in the tournament’s reserve bout, Scotland’s rising star Sean Clancy Jr will face his toughest test to date, as he meets NCAA wrestling standout Jakob Scheffel in a battle of undefeated welterweights.
