(London, United Kingdom | Tuesday, October 7, 2014)
- The card is now set for Cage Warriors 73, which will take place on
Saturday, November 1, at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England.
Officials have today confirmed an intriguing welterweight contest for
the main card of CWFC’s twelfth event of the year, with Matt Inman and
Lew Long scheduled to lock horns.
Inman (13-6) returns to action for the first time since May, when he saw
a four-fight win streak snapped by Mauro Chimento at Cage Warriors 68
in Liverpool.
Prior to that loss, Inman had climbed towards the summit of CWFC’s
welterweight division with a run of victories that included a
first-round submission of title challenger Mohsen Bahari.
The 28-year-old Englishman, who fights out of the SBG camp in
Manchester, has taken all but one of his thirteen professional wins
inside the distance, with an equal number of submission and (T)KO
finishes on his ledger.
“I’m really looking forward to being back in the cage, especially in Newcastle where I’ve fought several times before,” said Inman, who graduated with a law diploma earlier this year.
“I’ve been working extremely hard and I’ve made a lot of
improvements since my last fight. I’ll look like a completely different
fighter on November 1 in Newcastle.”
Having made a successful CWFC welterweight debut against Steve Dinsdale
at CWFC 72 last month, Welshman Long (8-3) will be looking to put
consecutive wins together for the first time since joining the Cage
Warriors roster in 2012.
A judo and kickboxing black belt, the former lightweight holds other
notable victories over Diego Vital and former Ultimate Fighter
contestant Mark Glover.
Long, 25, said: “I can’t wait for this fight. I’m looking forward to
getting another win, which will be my third on Cage Warriors, against a
good opponent in Matt Inman.”
Meanwhile, a featherweight contest between Paddy Pimblett and Stephen
Martin has also been added to the bill for CWFC 73, while Kyle Redfearn
has stepped in to face Leeroy Barnes in a middleweight bout following
the withdrawal of Chris Scott due to injury.
Cage Warriors 73 will be headlined by the CWFC lightweight world title
meeting of defending champion Stevie Ray and challenger Curt Warburton.
