Mats Nilsson vs. Denniston Sutherland middleweight bout added to Cage Warriors 50
Wed Nov 14, 2012 3:37 pm
A middleweight battle has been added to next month's Cage Warriors 50 event.
Promotion officials on Tuesday announced a bout between Sweden's Mats Nilsson (9-2-1) and Jamaica-born, England-based Denniston Sutherland (18-8). Both fighters will compete under the Cage Warriors banner for the second time.
Cage Warriors 50 takes place Dec. 8 at Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, Scotland. The main card streams on MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) following prelims on Facebook.
Nilsson earned a second-round submission win over UFC veteran Tommy Speer at Cage Warriors Fight Night 3 this past February in Beirut, his debut with the promotion. He followed that with a submission win in Switzerland in March.
But in May, he dropped a unanimous decision in Switzerland to have his five-fight win streak snapped.
After starting his career 11-2 and 14-4, Sutherland ran into a rough patch that saw him drop four of six fights – three by first-round stoppage. But he now has won two straight, including his Cage Warriors debut in July with a first-round TKO of Brett Sizeland at Cage Warriors 49.
Sutherland followed that win in September with a unanimous decision win over Leeroy Barnes at BAMMA 10. At 39, Sutherland has been fighting professionally for just shy of six years.
Although the Cage Warriors 50 main card streams live at MMAjunkie.com, the stream will not be available in the United Kingdom or Ireland due to the terms of the promotion's deal with Sky Sports. The event will air on Sky Sports 3 the following week.
