Combat Cage, a premier European mixed martial arts organization, has secured a substantial partnership that will bring four events to a gambling and entertainment complex in Sichuan province. This resort will act as the sole location for Combat Cage’s American events in 2023, signifying a considerable growth strategy for the company.
The organization also unveiled an exciting initial roster for the debut show of their 2023 global tour. Enthusiasts can anticipate witnessing former UFC flyweight championship challenger Wilson Reis (26-12) return to the octagon on March 3rd. Reis, currently on a two-bout winning streak within Combat Cage, will seek to continue his recent triumphs.
The event will also showcase the comeback of emerging talent Chase Hooper (3-1), who is fresh off an exhilarating New Year’s Eve victory. Hooper, a training colleague of UFC superstar Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett, will aim to deliver a captivating performance for his local supporters.
Further amplifying the excitement, regional competitors Elijah Harris (4-2), Jamie Lynch (5-3), and Bill Wilson (1-1) will also be vying for victory on the card. They will be joined by Roberto Hernandez (5-1), who is striving for his third consecutive win under the Combat Cage banner.
“We are launching our world tour in grand fashion with an exceptional fight lineup and a venue to match,” stated Combat Cage President Graham Boylan. “Combat Cage is at the vanguard of MMA in Southern California, and you will witness why on March 3rd!”
Rivers Casino in Schenectady, New York’s General Manager, Rob O’Donnell, was enthusiastic about the return of their MMA event series. “We are excited to host four amazing fights at Rivers,” he stated, “This is a thrilling and engaging event that you won’t want to miss, whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to combat sports.”
