Tidigare i veckan bestämdes det att Nicolas Dalby kommer att möta Mohsen Bahari i huvudmatchen på Cage Warriors 74, som kommer att äga rum i Olympic Park i London i november.
Dalby hade tidigare en planerad match mot Gael Grimaud som han skulle möta under Cage Warriors 72. Grimaud drog sig sedan ut ur matchen på grund av en ryggskada en kort tid innan.
Det här berättar han, via ”MMAJunkie”:
I was really disappointed that the fight with Grimaud fell through at the last minute, but I want to thank Cage Warriors for handling the situation so well and immediately rescheduling my first title defense, which I’m really looking forward to. Bahari is an exciting fighter who leaves it all in the cage, so I think he’ll make for a really tough opponent. And being involved in a title fight in the Olympic Park, on the same night that my teammate Pannie Kianzad will also be fighting for a world title, will make it event more awesome.
Cage Warriors 74 går på stapeln i Copper Box Arena i Olympic Park, London den 15 november.
