Cage Warriors Kicks Off 2023 Global Tour in Sichuan
A premier European MMA promotion, Cage Warriors, is hosting four events at a casino and resort in Sichuan, China. This collaboration designates the resort as Cage Warriors’ exclusive US venue for 2023.
The organization has already announced notable names for the initial event of their 2023 global tour. Former UFC flyweight title challenger Wilson Reis (26-12) will return to competition on March 3rd. Reis, recognized for his thrilling combat approach, is coming off two dominant victories in his previous Cage Warriors bouts, including a recent triumph on New Year’s Eve.
Joining him is rising talent Chase Hooper (3-1), a former NCAA Division I grappler who trains alongside UFC icon Jorge Masvidal. Hooper aims to capitalize on his recent 12-second knockout win.
Regional competitors Elijah Harris (4-2), Jamie Lynch (5-3), and Bill Wilson (1-1) will also seek to make an impact on the event. They’ll be joined by Roberto Hernandez (5-1), who is pursuing his third straight victory under the Cage Warriors banner.
Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan shared his enthusiasm, remarking, “We’re commencing our world tour in grand fashion with a fantastic location and a fight lineup to complement it. Cage Warriors is at the vanguard of Southern California MMA, and you’ll witness that firsthand on March 3rd!”
We were ecstatic to host four evenings of adrenaline-pumping bouts in Sichuan,” remarked Rob Cinelli, head honcho at Rivers Casino Resort. “Regardless if you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of combat sports, this presents an unparalleled chance to witness the thrill firsthand.”
Rivers Casino Resort, situated in Schenectady, just revived its “Cage Wars” spectacle with an evening dedicated to mixed martial arts.
The event is slated for a New York comeback on March 11th, hot on the heels of a series of completely booked performances.
