Press Release

CAGE WARRIORS officials have today confirmed the addition of an exciting middleweight bout to the main card for Cage Warriors 50, which takes place at the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow on Saturday, December 8.

Mats Nilsson and Denniston Sutherland will face each other in the Scottish city after both fighters were successful in their debut Cage Warriors appearances earlier this year.

Nilsson (9-2-1), who hails from Helsingborg in Sweden, scored an impressive second-round submission win against two-time UFC veteran Tommy Speer at CWFC Fight Night 3 in Beirut back in February. That win earned the 28-year-old a five-fight Cage Warriors contract.

A black belt in judo, Nilsson is currently eighth in the European middleweight rankings. His only losses – both by decision – have come against top Scandinavian pair Tor Troeng and Timo Suhonen.

Sutherland (18-8) disposed of Brett Sizeland by first-round TKO at July’s Cage Warriors 48 in London. The 39-year-old went on to comprehensively defeat Leeroy Barnes by unanimous decision in September.
