CWFC 72: MARSHMAN vs. MILLS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, July 15, 2014 Mills and Marshman to clash in a meeting of two of Cage Warriors Fighting Championship's top middleweight contenders in Newport, Wales, on Saturday, September 13, 2014.   (London, United Kingdom | Tuesday, July 15, 2014) - A meeting of two of the promotion’s top middleweight contenders will take place when Cage Warriors Fighting Championship makes its first visit to Newport. Jack Marshman and Che Mills (pictured) will square off in the first bout to be announced for Cage Warriors 72, which is set to take place in the Welsh city on Saturday, September 13. Following CWFC 67 in Swansea this past April, the Newport Centre will play host to the promotion’s second event in Wales this year, with details of further bouts and ticket sales to be released shortly. The clash of Marshman and Mills could have major implications in the CWFC middleweight title picture, with the winner likely to set his sights on newly-crowned world champion Jack Hermansson. Mills (16-7-0-2nc) , a four-fight veteran of the UFC, looked extremely impressive when disposing of Leeroy Barnes via first-round submission at May’s CWFC 68 in Liverpool. “This is going to be a great fight,” said Mills. “I have a lot of respect for my opponent but it’s my hand that’ll be raised at the end.” With all but two of his 15 professional victories coming inside the distance, Marshman (15-5) is also coming off a first-round submission win, having overcome ex-TUF contestant Bola Omoyele at CWFC 69: Super Saturday in London in June. Marshman said: “I’m over the moon that Cage Warriors have given me the chance to fight a UFC veteran. Che is one of the best in Europe and this will show everyone what level I’m at.” For the latest Cage Warriors Fighting Championship news and updates, keep track of us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Narimani joins Cage Warriors 

London, England (August 9, 2013) - Nad Narimani has put pen to paper on a multi-fight contract with Cage Warriors Fighting Championship.

The deal will see Narimani (5-1) compete under the CWFC banner for his next five fights, as he aims to continue to assert himself as one of the top featherweights in the UK.

The 26-year-old Englishman performed extremely impressively when he put his unbeaten record on the line in his CWFC debut last month against fourth-ranked UK featherweight Graham Turner at Cage Warriors 56 in London.

After the bout went the distance, Turner snatched a split decision win but, in spite of the loss, it only served to enhance Narimani’s reputation as one of the most promising prospects in the UK.

Prior to his Cage Warriors debut, Narimani picked up notable wins over Marcin Wrzosek and TUF alumni Karsten Lenjoint.

“I can’t wait to get back in there for Cage Warriors to make a statement,” said Narimani. “I’m really happy to have signed with such a good show.”
