European Championships in Bucharest, Romania, and the 2018 IMMAF World Championships during November in Manama, Bahrain. While the April 7 contest is not officially billed as a national team qualifier at this time, it is confirmed that UKMMAF representatives will be in attendance and paying close attention to the tournament outcome. BCMMA co-promoter and professional MMA veteran, Jack Mason, stated via social media: “It’s an absolute privilege for us at Cage Warriors Academy SE to be able to host an event like this. What a spectacle for the fans and what an opportunity for the fighters! Region’s from all around the UK represented to prove who is the UK’s #1 Amateur Flyweight in an 8 man, one night tournament.” 22-year-old Warren Mason, the most experienced tournament contender, earned a silver medal for the UK team at the 2015 European Open Championships in Birmingham, UK. Victories over Frenchman Correira Humberto and Ireland’s David Fogarty, a future world silver medalist, saw him advance to an all-British final against team-mate Jake Bond. Mason last competed for the UK at the 2016 World Championships in Las Vegas, but was dealt an early exit upon sustaining a broken collarbone, resulting in a TKO in the first round of his opening bout in the Men’s flyweight bracket.]]>
