@europe1 did you catch the first fight?

 

[europe1]

Nope, all I heard was the winner saying that he couldn't remember all his sponsors.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Whoa!

Great fight! Inverted Triangle Choke!

Standing guillotine finish in the first fight too. We're getting some nice submissions tonight.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Nope, all I heard was the winner saying that he couldn't remember all his sponsors.

The guy looks promising. He's 2-0 now and 4-0 as a pro with 5 first round KO's and 1 first round standing guillotine. He trains out of the camp in Birmingham that has Leon Roberts and Tom Breese too.

I can't make threads so I'm gonna ask here. CW takes debuting fighters?

What do you mean?

Antanas Jazbutis is such a veteran that he comes from an era where people still called themselves Pitbull

No joke. The dude fought his first fight in 2003 and fought Brad Pickett in Cage Rage.

What do you mean?

I can't recall them ever featuring a debutant. But Cage Warriors is the biggest org in the UK. If you want to debut with them, you got to have a BIG name or some even BIGGER connections.

Oh right. I wouldn't really know, but I'm sure you'd be able to get on one of their Cage Warriors Academy cards at least.

Crawford pieced him up pretty neatly

Thought so. Still gonna try tho
But I'll probably debut at Cage Rage

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Thanks

If you still wanna fight a few more amateur fights than try and get onto a Cage Warriors Academy card, and then you'll be more likely to make your pro debut on one of their cards.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Looking forward to next fight. Both decent prospects and both have a high finishing rate.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Just looked at Scott Malone's record and he interestingly has a win by Von Flue choke.
