(15.7.14, London) Nathan “Mr. Bag & Tag” Jones has been added to the professional card for “BAMMA Fight Night: Chadwick vs Pascu”, as Europe’s flagship Mixed Martial Arts promotion prepares to hit Liverpool Olympia on 2nd August. As Chris Hoban has been forced by a shoulder injury to withdraw from his fight against Tim Manzies,  Jones has been signed up as replacement for the Welterweight bout. Tickets are on sale at www.liverpoololympia.com

Nathan Jones AKA Mr.Bag & Tag has earned a Professional record of 4-3 with all victories via 1st round Chokes.  With Richmond’s Combat Company as his home, Jones has trained in MMA since 2010 with no prior combat sports experience. Driven by his determination to overcome a number of personal challenges, including a bilateral pulmonary embolism in 2009, Jones is defined by his mental toughness and a hunger to shape his own life.  Jones has been awarded Bronze Medal in Ground Control (U91Kg), the WKA Amateur British MMA title (U88Kg) and reached the Ring Masters finals at U85kg. Jones also won the Fury Welterweight title after Montagnani vacated it in 2013,  prior to losing to Montagnani at BAMMA 15. Jones’ latest outing in May saw him go the distance with Makunga Bunduku at Ultimate Challenge.

Jones said:

“I’m excited about this fight. Tim is a tough fighter and I respect him.. but ultimately this is just another day in the office. I am looking forward to perform for BAMMA fans and a Liverpool crowd; and I get another chance to Bag & Tag.”

Tim “The Yeti” Menzies fights out of Andy Roberts BJJ with a Professional record of 2-1 and a fierce background in kick-boxing. He most recently lost to Alex Montagnani at “BAMMA Fight Night: Askham vs Nunes”

Both fighters are new to the North West circuit.
