Special Thanks go out to Ian Dean and Cagewarriors.com for the following article:
The “Snowman” is set to invade Sheffield, England, as The Cagewarriors Fighting Championship concludes 2004 with an Xtreme Xmas.
On Saturday, December 18th the Cagewarriors Fighting Championship comes back to the Sheffield Octagon centre and brings with them a huge Christmas Present for all UK MMA fans in the form of Cagewarriors 9: Xtreme Xmas. After a successful show back in September which was a near sell out, and saw eight exciting CWFC match-ups, the CWFC returns to the steel city of Sheffield in a party mood and plans to celebrate
Christmas by holding their
biggest show to date. Dougie Truman will deliver a card that is stacked full of international stars, title matches and even some
shocking announcements that
will rock the UK MMA scene to its foundations. proud to announce that the Cagewarriors 9 main event will feature the American Top Team Heavyweight Jeff "The Snowman" Monson. As “The Snowman” will be coming to the UK in an attempt to prise the CWFC
Heavyweight Title
from current Champion Tengiz Tedoradze
in the main event of
"Xtreme Xmas". a former Abu Dhabi Champion, Multiple NAGA Superfight Winner, and Multiple Grapplers Quest Winner. Monson reinforced his grappling credentials this past weekend by winning the “superweight” division of the
6th Grapplers Quest West Coast
Submission Grappling Championships in Las Vegas. some of the very best in the MMA world (Chuck Liddell, former UFC Champ Ricco Rodriguez and Forrest Griffin to name just a few). Monson is also undefeated in his last 4 MMA contests, which last saw him fight at Euphoria in October where he beat Pat Stano by TKO. He'll be looking to make it 5 in a row and add the
CWFC Heavyweight Title to his
Resume at "Xtreme Xmas" has lasted for nearly 2 years and includes the notable scalps of early UFC legend Remco Pardoel, Michael Knaap (twice) and James Thompson (Who Tedoradze beat in June and ended the unbeaten streak of the Ultimate Combat World Champion and PRIDE FC Veteran with a brutal display of ground and
pound). Ground and Pound beatdown of the stocky Extreme Brawl and K-1 UK Star Craig Amer which alerted many in the MMA world of Tedoradze’s skills.
So will Jeff Monson’s vast skills be enough against the former 2-time Greco Roman World champion, or will “The Barnsley Gladiator” who has streamrolled through opponents in the UK, successfully defend his title once more and add Monson's name to the list of fighters who have been “Tengizzed?” At Cagewarriors 9: Xtreme Xmas, we will find out when these two top wrestlers clash for the Title.
If that isn’t enough, CWFC owner/promoter Mr Dougie Truman has another Five confirmed bouts (which include two big CWFC Title bouts) which will be announced in due course, plus we also hope to deliver another big announcement. So stayed locked on to www.cagewarriors.com and enjoy an Xtreme Xmas with us this December, as the Cagewarriors Fighting Championships invades the Sheffield Octagon Centre once
again this December 18th. standard and £300 for an octagonside table (which seats 7 people and includes a buffet, bubbly and fine wines.)
