Cage Wars Championship: Nightmare

Cage Wars Championship
Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009
Belfast, Northern Ireland BACK IN THE KINGS HALL

CWC - Cage Wars Championship is set to return to the world famous Kings Hall with their spectacular brand of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA.) CWC-”NIGHTMARE” brings world class sports combat back to Belfast on Sunday November 29th to start their 2009/2010 season of live “Fight Nights” which will feature 6 events throughout the UK and Ireland.

Heading the season opening Fight Night will be world famous MMA star Rich “NO LOVE” Clementi who will face local MMA talent Chris “MENACE” Stringer in a three round super fight. Clementi who hails from the USA is a major challenge for Stringer and many see this fight in the style of Rocky Vs Apollo Creed. “This is a world class MMA star giving a young rising talent a chance to test himself, much like Rocky did against Apollo Creed in the now legendary Hollywood movie. Except for Chris Stringer this is real life with no second take and a chance for him to show the world just how good Northern Ireland fighters really can be” said Jonny Burrows, VP of production for Cage Wars Championship.

Despite the massive pressure of the occasion Stringer feels he can win this fight “I train just as hard as any of the top guys in the sport and I am hungry for this. This match could get me noticed on a global level and really push me forward as a future MMA champion. Rich Clementi is not a fading star or a defeated champion, he is as good as they come in MMA and he is at the top of his game, if I win this, then people will realize how much talent I have to offer the world of MMA”

Clementi said “I’ve seen Stringer fight and he is no slouch, as far as I am concerned I will treat him as if he was the world champion and prepare myself accordingly. I do not take him lightly at all because in MMA anything can happen and that is what I have to be prepared for. This is not a game for me, or a movie, so I don’t play around. He definitely has ability and I am going in there to defeat him, I expect this to be an all out war, one that I am confident I will win!”

This will be Clementi’s second visit to Ireland and to CWC “I cornered one of my guys here earlier in the year and I really liked Belfast and the MMA fans I met. It was then I decided I would like to fight here and get a chance to perform for the fans and CWC. I am really looking forward to the trip and the fight”.

CWC -”NIGHTMARE” follows the massively successful event held at the Kings Hall earlier this year and the CWC team expect to create an even better show this time. “We have been working hard on our brand of MMA and we now have our events on TV in the US reaching 20 million people every week. We have agreed a UK TV deal to air our events and we will announce the details on that very soon. MMA is the fastest growing sport on the planet and Cage Wars Championship is now seen as the premier UK and Irish MMA promotion which is growing every month. We recently agreed an exclusive deal with Everlast to be the official glove supplier to CWC and we have several other exciting deals in negotiation right now for our brand” said Jonny Burrows.

The CWC-Nightmare event is a stacked fight card showcasing some of the best MMA talent in the world today and like every CWC event it promises a fantastic night of sports combat entertainment!

The full fight card is the most exciting CWC event to be held to date and fans have an awesome event to look forward to. There will be 10 bouts on the feature card and there will be five amateur bouts on the undercard
