Jack Mason VS Collin Reuter
In the main event of Cage Warriors Fight Night 8, experienced Jack Mason will collide with rising star Collin Reuter on May 11 at the Mirbeh Sports Hall in Al Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.
Veteran Mason (23-11) will look to stop the up-and-coming Reuter by using his experience in the cage to his advantage. The Brit is coming off a TKO win over Matt Inman, who was the latest in his three-fight win streak.
Reuter (9-1-1) enters the main event also undefeated in his last three trips to the cage, most recently stopping Zack Shelley in March. The American became the man behind of one of the most talked-about knockouts of the year, when he finished Gerald Fike in February, and fans will be looking out for another memorable stoppage in this encounter.
Antoni Chmielewski VS Faycal Hucin
Former KSW light heavyweight champion Antoni Chmielewski will make his Cage Warriors debut when he meets Faycan Hucin.
The veteran (23-9), from Poland, joins Cage Warriors in the 185lb division, having convincingly won his last fight in under 90 seconds with a rear-naked choke. The 31-year-old is a black belt in judo, and has the opportunity to make an immediate impact on the promotion against a dangerous opponent.
Hucin (8-3) may not have the experience of Chmielewski, but the 25-year-old is quickly becoming known for the dynamite he carries in his hands, and has also demonstrated that he’s capable of ending fights by submission, and grinding out decision wins.
James Brum VS Olivier Pastor
The CWFC FN8 main card will include a bantamweight clash between British fighter James Brum and Olivier Pastor.
Brum (11-2) will be hoping to close in on a shot at the bantamweight title, as a win would see him collect his sixth consecutive triumph, and his fifth in a row under Cage Warriors. He’s become known for his ability to secure results with stifling decision victories, recently outscoring Moktar Benkaci and James Saville.
Pastor is also on a strong run, having won his last four fights. The Frenchman now has the chance to halt Brum’s progress, while thrusting himself into the title picture in the process.
Martin Buschkamp VS Matteus lahdesmaki
Featherweight Martin Buschkamp will put his undefeated record on the line when he meets Matteus Lahdesmaki.
German fighter Buschkamp (6-0) is sure to be pleased with the way things have gone in his career so far. at only 22-years-old, he has a bright future in the sport, but faces a tough, experienced challenger on May 11, who certainly has the potential to hand him his first loss.
His opponent has almost four times as many fights under his belt, and has won three of his last five bouts. Experience will certainly be in his favour, and it will be interesting to see how he responds when returning to the cage after a TKO loss to Jim Alers.
Mike Ling vs. Gregor Herb
Englishman Mike Ling will start the show at Cage Warriors Fight Night 8 in a middleweight bout against German competitor Gregor Herb.
6ft6 Ling (11-5) has won his last two fights in impressive fashion, forcing the end by doctor stoppage both times. He doesn’t like to leave the outcome in the judges hands, and has finished every fight he’s won.
Herb (13-5) is a powerful middleweight who’s also stopped each opponent he’s beaten. The submission specialist has come out victorious in his last three fights, and will look to make it four consecutive wins against the Brit, in what is expected to be an intriguing battle at 185lbs.
