Macto Championships have revealed the latest addition to their stacked line up of fights set for Arena:MK in Milton Keynes on June 27, with a Women’s contest pitting fiery Welsh up and comer Ffion Davies against French opposition in the form of Samantha Jean-Francois in a Strawweight contest.
Press release:
MACTO Championships, the UK’s hottest new MMA promotion, are proud to announce the Women’s Strawweight contest of Ffion Davies vs. Samantha Jean-Francois, set for MACTO Championships’ inaugural event on June 27 at the Arena:MK in Milton Keynes.
Submission specialist Ffion Davies brings an undefeated 3-0 record at amateur and makes her eagerly anticipated pro debut on MACTO Championships, as one of the UK’s most exciting Strawweight prospects. Hailing from Swansea, and fighting out of the standout Chris Rees Academy alongside the likes of Titan FC champion Brett Johns, Davies boasts three consecutive stoppages in the opening round with two submissions and most recently a TKO victory in just 49 seconds. In addition, Davies claimed the gold medal in her division at this year’s BJJ British Open.
Davies takes on 28-year-old Samantha Jean-Francois who fights out of Marseille, France and brings a 1-1 pro record to MACTO Championships. Representing Team FURACAO and specializing in BJJ, Jean-Francois made her MMA debut last year with a forceful performance that resulted in a doctor stoppage with her opponent unable to continue after the first round.
MACTO Championships’ debut showcase will be headlined by British UFC veteran Nick Osipczak making his eagerly anticipated return to MMA competition against the explosive and heavy handed Kyle Redfearn. This is supported by the exciting co-main event, featuring fearsome knockout artists Alex Montagnani and David Round.
