Latest Preview For The Cagewarriors Ultimate Force Mixed Martial Arts/Ultimate Fighting Show On April 30th In England

The Cagewarriors Fighting Championships Prepare To Unleash "Ultimate Force" At The Xscape Centre In Castleford England This April 30th

(PRWEB) March 19, 2005 -- Cagewarriors: Ultimate Force is the name for the new Cagewarriors brand run by respected Northern promoter Paul Murphy and his business partner Dave Mangham. They plan to debut their new franchised show on Saturday 30th April at the Xscape Centre in Castleford.

The Xscape Centre is an amazing indoor entertainment complex, which contains bars, cafés and restaurants as well as a wide range of fun activities such as bowling, indoor skiing, interactive gaming, cinemas and more.

The Cagewarriors Ultimate Force team aims to deliver the same high standard of action which has made the CWFC one of the UKs top events, whilst also implementing a few new twists of their own and still managing to attract new sponsors and support. Seven exciting bouts have already been confirmed for this show with more to come in the coming weeks. The following is a brief synopsis of some of the bigger fights already confirmed for Ultimate Force" but to see the in-depth fight preview go to the Ultimate Force" news page at http://www.cagewarriors.com/page.asp?ID=766

Highlights of this card include an intriguing contest between two submission specialists as the unbeaten Alex Owen (6-0-0) from Team Savage takes on the experienced ZST and Shootboxing Japan veteran Danny Batten (5-5-2). Owen, who also has a 9-0 semi-pro record and was the 2002 and 2003 Combat Sports Lightweight Champion has been tearing into the Featherweight division since his pro debut at Cagewarriors 6 last March. Owen has also submitted Craig Fallon who was a member of the British Olympic Judo team in 2004 and won his topughest battle yet at Cagewarriors 9 when he ended the unbeaten streak of Frederic Fernandez (brother of the CWFC champion Emmanuel Fernandez) at Cagewarriors 9 Xtreme Xmas in December.

Hs opponent Danny Batten has been on a sabbatical since his loss to the Cage Rage World Lightweight Champion Jean Silva at Cage Rage 3 (Nearly 2 years ago) in London. In his 5 year career Batten has faced some of the best domestic fighters in the Lightweight division, and will be looking to show why he was seen as one of Britains top fighters, when he drops down a weight and takes on the brash South West star at Ultimate Force." And with a possible title shot on the line, this is a fight neither man will want to lose.

Cagewarriors are also pleased to announce a double surprise as Cagewarriors Ultimate Force" will not only see the first Hybird San Shou" bout in the UK, but will also see the return of the decorated UK veteran Andy Cooper from retirement, when he faces the JKD stylist Ray Burns. San Shous mix of flashy throws and strikes has been a huge success during K-1 shows in the USA, and the Ultimate Force" team hopes that it will emulate the success of Cage Kickboxing" since its inception. Will this be an interesting clash of styles or one experiment too many? On the 30th April we will find out.
