CAGE 33 is less than three weeks away and will following-up the excitement of their recent CAGE 32. The promotion today announced their solid 7 fight pro MMA card at a press conference and open workout at the Casino Helsinki. Each fight will have a Finn battle international talent.

UFC vet Anton Kuivanen (23-8) will headline the card in a title fight against undefeated French fighter Thibault Gouti (10-0) at the usual Helsinki Culture House on November 21.

Not to be overlooked is solid Brazilian opposition from Finns Janne Elonen-Kulmala (12-4) and Mikael Silander who are looking to gain further attention in Europe for the improving games.

‘Jamba’ is on an impressive 8 fight winning streak and has finished has last two opponents, including his CAGE 31 von flue choke in September. The bantamweight will face a 16 win and 4 loss Orestes Betran.

The ‘Hulk’ should be on a 5 fight winning streak, but he was robbed by judges at his last outing at ACB 20. Silander will fight a 14 win and 1 loss fighter in Pedro Souza.

“Winners are really close to go UFC, I hope the Finnish guys perform good and bring UFC here in Finland.” says matchmaker Timo Lampen.

Fan favorite Aleksi Nurminen is back to face Russian Aziz Stringer, while his previous opponent he beat in Swede Jonathan Svensson will try his luck with Finnish grappler Mikael Nyyssönen.

Edellisten tapahtumien kommentointi on ollut rankkaa puuhaa mutta 21.11. @mikaelsilander pääsee itsekin tositoimiin! Sparrikavereilla on ollut tiukkoja aikoja kotisalilla ja kovempaa vihua jo kaivataan 😉 #casinohelsinki #casinosportsbar @cagemmafin #finnmma #cage33 #mmafinland #vapaaottelu
