Cage Warriors 69: Super Saturday adds 3 more fights

by Ben Heather @benheather

When Graham Boylan first announced that Cage Warriors 69 would be Super Saturday on twitter it left the fans wondering in anticipation for more details to be announced. It didn't take long before it was announced that Super Saturday would consist of two main cards in one night, all of which takes place on 7th June at The Forum in Kentish Town, London.

Since then 9 fights have been announced including two title fights and many more with serious title implications in a number of divisions. Now 3 more fights have been announced as Super Saturday is lining up to be the biggest event in Cage Warriors history, if not the most stacked card in UK MMA history.

The event which already includes some of the biggest names in UK MMA keeps getting better. The latest additions see undefeated featherweight and the winner of our one to watch in 2014 award Arnold Allen (7-0) take on Polish prospect Marcin Wrzosek (7-2) in what is sure to be an exciting mstch up. Allen, trained by Jack Mason at BKK Fighters comes in to the match up after making quick work of his last opponent, Tobias Huber at Cage Warriors Fight Night 11 in April. While Wrzosek makes his Cage Warriors return hoping for a better result having lost to Chris Fishgold at Cage Warriors 57 in July.

Also announced is a lightweight battle between top contender Saul Rogers (8-1) and Damian Brown (10-6). Rogers comes in to this fight off the back of the biggest victory in his career when he defeated John Maguire at Cage Warriors 65 in March. On the same night in Dublin Brown lost out in a Fight of the Night performance to Paul Redmond and will now be looking to get back to winning ways against a very tough opponent.

The third fight announced is a WMMA bantamweight fight between Scotland’s Amanda Kelly (1-1) and England’s Kerry Hughes (1-1). Both women will be looking to get back to winnning ways after decision defeats to Laura Howarth and Agnieszka Niedzwiedz respectively in their most recent outings.

Australia's Damien Brown will meet Irish fan favourite Paul Redmond at Cage Warriors 65.

Cage Warriors 65 takes place March 1 at The Helix in Dublin Ireland. It is not known if Brown vs Redmond will feature on the main card of Cage Warriors 65 or the under card.

Damien Brown hopes to get back to amongst the wins having been edged out by Julien Boussuge via decision at CWFC 61 in Amman in his promotional debut.

Brown who joined Australian compatriot Ben Alloway in signing a 5 fight exclusive deal with Cage Warriors in late 2013 said:

“I’m looking forward to giving the Cage Warriors fans in Ireland what they want to see, but it won’t be in the hands of the judges this time as I’m coming to finish it.”

27-year old Paul Redmond (8-4) fights for Cage Warriors for the seventh time at Cage Warriors 65.

Making his Cage Warriors debut at Cage Warriors 47, the Team Ryano fighter put together a 5 fight win streak before losing by submission to rising Polish fighter Mateusz Theodorczuk.

The Irishman who has taken all 8 of his victories inside the distance says he’s eager to make amends and get back to winning ways:

“After my last performance I just want to get back in there again. I was back in the gym two days later fixing everything in my game, so I can’t wait for this fight now.”

With the addition of Brown vs Redmond, Cage Warriors 65 includes:

John Maguire vs. Saul Rogers
Benny Alloway vs. Jack Mason
Alex Enlund vs. Artem Lobov
Bryan Creighton vs. Damien Rooney
Damien Brown vs. Paul Redmond
Lew Long vs. Philip Mulpeter
Paddy Pimblett vs. Martin Sheridan
Lee Caers vs. Merv Mulholland
Myles Price vs. Peter Queally

Cage Warriors Sign Australian Duo Benny Alloway and Damien Brown

Cage Warriors Sign Australian Duo Benny Alloway and Damien Brown

Cage Warriors Fighting Championship has today added Benny Alloway (pictured) and Damien Brown to its ever-expanding roster of fighters.

The Australian pair, who also train under renowned coach Marc Fiore at Altitude MMA in Colorado, have each put pen-to-paper on five-fight deals, which will see them compete exclusively for CWFC over a minimum period of 18 months.

Alloway (12-5) joins Cage Warriors on the back of a three-fight stint with the UFC, which started with a ‘KO of the Night’ victory over Manny Rodriguez last December.

The 32-year-old, who picked up a TKO win against CWFC middleweight Valentino Petrescu last year on The Ultimate Fighter, first fought for Cage Warriors in February 2012 when he overcame Mauro Chimento via unanimous decision at CWFC Fight Night 3 in Beirut.

“I’m very grateful to Graham Boylan and the Cage Warriors family for welcoming me back to one of the most respected organisations in the world, and I’m really looking forward to stepping on their canvas again,” said Alloway.

“CWFC is the best thing for my career at this stage and I don’t plan to disappoint them for bringing me back. My plans for the division are simple; get back to finishing fights, one at a time, and eventually become champion.”

Brown (10-4), one of Australia’s top lightweights, has dropped just one loss in his last five outings, an impressive run that has seen him pick up notable wins over fellow Legend FC veterans Haotian Wu and Rob Hill.
