Cage Warriors announced this afternoon that Ireland’s Joe McColgan will take on Wales’ Richard Williams at Cage Warriors 83 in Newport, Wales on 6th May 2017.
McColgan (2-1) caught fans attention after an impressive rear naked choke finish of Tommy Hogan and a unanimous decision victory over Peter Queally at BAMMA 26 followed a successful amateur career.
“The SBG Hunter” lost his first professional bout via split decision to the experienced Arnold Quero (14-5) in his last outing at Cage Warriors 81 in Dublin, Ireland last month.
Williams (4-0) has finished all of his opponents in the first round including a 59 second TKO of Gracjan Bak in his last bout at Cage Warriors Academy in Wales back in March 2017.
