GYM01 fighter James Pennington (9-1) enters the bout looking for his forth straight victory when he meets Tait in February. A top 10 UK Bantamweight Pennington has taken 7 of his victories by submission with his only loss of his career coming to TUF 18 finalist Davey Grant.

Pennington will be hoping victory over Tait will be enough to earn a title shot, having missed out at a shot at CW gold, after having to pull out of Cage Warriors 59's Bantamweight tournament final due to injury.

A former UCMMA Featherweight and Bantamweight title holder, Cory Tait (7-2) enters the bout with Pennington on the heels of a huge TKO victory over Spencer Hewitt. Original scheduled to fight Jordan Desborough at Cage Warriors 62, Tait was forced out of the bout due to injury.

Widely considered one of the finest prospects on the UK scene, Tae Kwon Do blackbelt Tait has taken all of his 7 wins by stoppage, drawing comparisons to Anderson Silva along the way thanks to highlight real finishes over Nathan Beer, and Dino Gambatesa by spinning back first and crescent kick respectively.
