Reigning Middleweight Champion, Jack “The Joker” Hermansson (11-2 MMA | 6-0 CWFC) will put his title on the line against the Swedish based Brazilian, Alan “The Brazilian Viking” Carlos (12-8 MMA | 1-0 CWFC) in the main event at CWFC 75.
Twenty seven year old Hermansson is widely regarded as one of Europe’s top unsigned talents went on an impressive during his Cage Warriors hiatus, racking up back-to-back wins over former UFC veteran Karlos Vemola and more recently against Maciej Rozanski at Venator FC 2 in December 2015. Before then the Oslo based Swede had been enjoying an impressive four-fight undefeated stint in Cage Warriors defeating Enoc Solves Torres and Ion Pascu before winning the CWFC middleweight title with a fourth round rear-naked choke over Norman Paraisy at CWFC 69: Super Saturday. Hermansson then successfully defended his title just two months later at CWFC 71 when he stopped Deyan Topalski with strikes in the first round.
The Frontline Academy fighter said of his pending CWFC return, “I’m looking forward to defend my belt again and I’m ready for a tough fight with Alan (Carlos) who is a very experienced fighter.”
Known as the “Brazilian Viking” Alan Carlos brings with him a solid European level pedigree with five wins in his last six bouts. The 32 year old said, “I’m very happy to be back fighting at Cage Warriors and have the opportunity to fight for the belt. I have been training very hard for this day and now it has arrived.”
Additional bouts have also been confirmed for CW75 which sees Essex based lightweight, Brad “The Crazy Kid” Wheeler (15-9) face Trowbridge’s Scott Clist, (9-2-1) who makes his CWFC debut. Featherweight Chris Fishgold, (13-1-1) a Liverpool based fighter also returns to Cage Warriors as he battles Jordan “The Alpha Male” Miller (14-14) who has been campaigning for a high profile match-up on the back of six mostly unregistered wins. Pelu Adetola makes his second CWFC appearance on April 15th against Gyorgy Dolog in a middleweight bout.
Graham Boylan, Cage Warriors CEO comments, “We still have a few fights to announce but the London card is shaping up nicely. Most of these fighters have been without fights in the last 18 months so we’re expecting fireworks in London on April 15th.”
