Cagewarriors Strike Force Uk vs France - May 21st

[kainer2]

From www.cagewarriors.com or http://kakutougi.info/content/view/135/

The biggest UK show by a Uk based promotion hits Coventry on the 21st May with an 11 bout fight card. Cagewarriors hope to fill the 4000 seater capacity Skydome in Coventry in a little under 2 weeks with a show promoting British Talent but still having high production values

Main Fights include local hero Barrington Patterson in his retirement fight against the 130kg 2H2H vet Marc Emmanuel.

The Cagewarriors debut of the awesome Antoino Silva Junior (who fights out of our new official fight team "The Wolfslair Gym"

2 title fights including the unbeaten CWFC featherweight champ and BJJ Black Belt Emmanuel Fernandez vs (ZST, cage Rage and long time UK vet) Danny Batten

CWFC Middleweight champion Matt Ewin vs Damien Riccio. Riccio beat Ewin at cage Rage and Ewin wants to end a bad streak at CW wher he has an impressive unbeaten record.

And Cage Rage and Cagewarriors Light-Heavyweight MMA Champion Michael "the count" Bisping takes on European K-1 vet Cyrille Diabaté in a 3 rond Cage Kickboxing bout.

All 67 VIP Tables were sold out along with the rest of the VIP seating enclosure. However standard tickets are still available at the Skydome’s box office and range from £20, £15, and 10 pounds with a special Family ticket of £30 (for 2 adults and 2 children)

And we have already another 3 strike force dates planned, and hope to have 10-12 Cagewarriors events throughout 2005 in our 3 different branded events

Looks like a cracking show there.

Riccio v. Ewin should be VERY interesting the second time around. How's Riccio's eye after that cut Ross Mason opened up at CR11?

Can't really see Batten beating Fernandez (not many on the European scene could though) but should still be a good fight.

Nice to see Bisping and Diabate fight but I'd personally rather see Bisping under full MMA rules. Mainly because I much prefer MMA to kickboxing.

Great looking show and congrats to all at Cage Warriors.

Also, I was at the Skydome for a major pro wrestling show a few weeks back - very impressive venue, great sight lines, big enough to feel intimate while still having a more 'major league' feel than you'd usually get on the British scene.

I heard that Riccio's eye was bad (i was at CW Ultimate Force on the 30th) but our French people have given him the all clear

Bisping vs Dibate under MMA rules will (probably) be happening at European Vale Tudo October 8th, plus Bisping wanted the fight in CK-1 rules as he's interested in the K-1 circuit.

We have big plans for the Skydome, we sold all the VIP seats have lavish plans for the VIP, while normal fans get cheap tickets. We'll hoping to spring 1 more suprise card wise but it may not happen this time round.

Was definitely a BAD cut, opened up with just one elbow too and bad enopugh for the fight to be stopped right away. Good to see Riccio make a quick return.

Thanks for the info on Bisping. He's certainly got a lot of raw potential for K-1.

Hope your big surprise comes off. Fingers crossed....
