Azi Thomas
The challenger is 9-4-1, Azi Thomas. Looking to stop the hype and gain himself a championship belt, Azi will be Callum’s toughest test yet. Having already fought for some big promotions (Cage Warriors & KSW), Thomas won’t wilt under any pressure. Also a finisher, Azi has seen all of his nine wins coming within the distance. With three TKO/KO’s and a very impressive six submissions to his name.
The Welshman fights out of SBG Manchester. With a plethora of UK talents, Azi has the right training to provide the goods on the 20th of August. Looking to stop the undefeated fighter, Thomas will no doubt be looking to transfer the hype onto himself, so make sure you’re watching. It could be carnage.
The Fight
With an undefeated prospect and a hungry veteran, this fight creates an interesting dynamic. Neither man has seen the judges in a win, and both will be looking for the kill throughout. Both with plenty of skill, this fight will no doubt be MMA at its best with all facets of the sport on display. With a lot of hype, many eyes will be watching. Make sure yours are as well.
