It’s the hottest day of the year so far and the temperature has gone through the roof here at the Troxy (and we’re not just talking about the Cage Girls) as fight fans prepare for the UCMMA 28 main event. Before that though, there is the small matter of an impressive undercard to get through.
Cory Tait confirmed last night with UCMMA promoter Dave O’Donnell that he is to relinquish his Featherweight title, choosing instead to continue his journey towards the Bantamweight title. Following this decision from Tait, UCMMA promoters have announced that February’s bout between Brendon Katz and Ashleigh Grimshaw at UCMMA 26 will be for the newly vacant featherweight title.
Well, UK fight fans were wondering how Cage Rage promoters would top their Cage Rage 24 event which saw Jimi ‘The Poster Boy’ Manuwa sign off from UCMMA with a punishing victory over Nick ‘Headhunter’ Chapman. Their questions were answered with a stunning night of MMA finishing up with the eagerly anticipated Jake Bostwick / Denniston Sutherland rematch.
