Ultimate Challenge UK

HEAT on July 11th is shaping up to be one of the best fight cards assembled in the UK this year, as once

again Ultimate Challenge continue to raise the standard in match making. Richard Griffin versus Scott

Jansen promises to be an all out war as both men go looking for a decisive and explosive win in the UK1

bout. Both men have great striking ability and should keep the fans on the edge of their seats.

Brad Wheeler versus Dino Gambatesa will be a technical battle between two great wrestlers, who are well

versed in all attributes of MMA. Brad is coming off a great win against Wesley Murch, where he took some

serious punishment but retained his composure and won with a text book triangle. Dino is coming off a loss

to Brad Pickett but not before he inflicted some serious damage to Brad’s ribs and was in no way outclassed

by the cage Rage and Ultimate Challenge veteran. This is a fight for the MMA purists and will not disappoint.

Jake Bostwick versus Alex Reid is another great UK1 match up that has the potential to be an out and out

war. Both men have devastating striking power and both will be keen to put on a show. Both fighters have

great supporters and will raise the roof with their vocal support when both these men enter the cage.

Jack Mason will be looking to continue his winning streak against the tough, Dorlan O’Mally. Jack is rapidly

becoming a fighter to watch as his powerhouse ground n pound style seems unstoppable, but will face a

tough test against O’Mally. O’Mally has been in against the likes of Tom Watson and Ed Smith and will

certainly be no pushover. This will be a hard hitting contest.

Ricky Andrews versus Dyson Roberts will prove to be an intriguing battle as Ricky makes his comeback

after a horrific knee injury sustained while training. Ricky will be looking to start his comeback with a victory,

but will face a resilient opponent in Dyson Roberts. Dyson, who came through the “Fighting Hurts” reality

show, has proven himself to be a more than capable fighter with some great victories under his belt. This

could be fight of the night with both fighters having a point to prove.

Luke Smith versus John Joe Ellis is rapidly becoming the most talked fight in the Grand Prix. The trash talk

on the various internet mediums has been red hot as the build up to this fight reaches boiling point. Both

men have devastating hands and knockout power that can be delivered in a split second. John Joe is coming

off the back of his devastating 9 second demolition of Marcus Thomas, while Luke scored a decisive victory

over Dragos Voiculescu with a textbook rear naked choke. Both men come from a boxing background and

will be looking for a knockout win to take them through to the Lightweight Final. If there was ever a fight

where you couldn’t afford to blink, this is it.

Wesley Johnson will be facing a late replacement in the shape of Ale Harvey, after the unfortunate pull out

of Jamaine Watkins. Wesley will be looking to make his way to the final and extend his winning streak,

while Alex will be looking to grab his opportunity and stake his claim to a first Grand Prix win. Both these

fighters have an unbeaten record and will look to maintain it.

Jamaine Facey versus Nigel Whittear will be a match up between two men that are comfortable, whether the

fight stays standing or goes to the floor. Jamaine will be looking to bounce back from his disappointing loss

to Michael Pastou at the last event, where he showed great striking ability, in what was a three round war.

Nigel Whitear also suffered his last loss to Michael Pastou and will be looking to re establish himself as one

of the leading Welterweights in the UK.

Max Henchey versus Giorgio Andrews will be a great Featherweight match between two tough opponents,

who will give it everything in the cage. The London Shootfighter, Andrews will be looking to cement his place

as one of the leading Featherweights in the UK, while, Henchey will be looking to bounce back from a loss

at his last outing.

Dominic Plumb will be looking to create another stir after his explosive victory against Mark Brown at

Ultimate Challenge- Unstoppable, which lasted an unbelievable 22 seconds. His opponent Joe Holder will be

raring to go after the pull out of his opponent the day before they were due to fight and is looking to make a

statement and put himself into contention as one of the young up and coming Welterweights in the UK.
