The Cage Warriors Middleweight title will be on the line at Cage Warriors 175 as Dario Bellandi puts his 185lbs strap on the line against Robin Roos.
The two will battle it out for the Middleweight championship, as the promotion continue to announce bouts for the Thursday night fight night, which will take place in the BEC Arena Manchester, just two days before the UFC descend on the CO-Op Live arena on Saturday, July 27.
After a loss to Will Currie at Cage Warriors 119, Bellandi has been on a tear. After wins against Joan Arastey, Justin Barry, Daniel Karlsson and Naglis KaniĊĦauskas, the Italian met the vastly experienced Mick Stanton for the Cage Warriors Middleweight title. Over the hard fought 25 minutes, Bellandi built into the contest and claimed the final three rounds and done enough to get the nod from all three judges, taking the bout 49-46, 48-47, 48-47 unanimous decision.
Robin Roos will pull on the yellow gloves for the first time on July 25th as he looks to steal the show. After starting professional life as a Welterweight, Roos picked up two wins in his first two bouts before coming up against current Cage Warriors Lightweight champion George Hardwick at Shogun MMA 2. Hardwick picked up the win and it was the start of a three fight skid for Roos. However, he put 2019 behind him and has went 5-1 in his last six, with all five victories coming by way of stoppage.
The Middleweight title fight is a welcome addition to the Cage Warriors 175 card, with many bouts having already been announced. Kallum Parker will return the BEC Arena for the first time since his Fight Of The Year contender against Luke Riley. This time round, the American will face Jack Claffey in a Featherweight contest. Stefano Paterno will look to take a step closer to claiming the Cage Warriors Welterweight strap once again when he faces Olli Santalahti AT 170lbs. The winner of the bout will put themselves in a very comfortable position and will likely face the new champion, James Sheehan in the near future. George Smith will be back in the Cage Warriors cage for the first time since 2021 when he faces Craig Rawlins. Christian Tebbett will face Florian Doskja, Matthew Camilleri will take on Emanuele Sabatino and Giuseppe Mastrogiacomo will compete against Seyed Hossein Mousavi.
