Scotland’s rising star Mark Ewen finally has his debut set for Bellator Dublin. With Ewen signing to Bellator earlier this year, fans of the Scot have been eagerly awaiting news regarding his in-cage debut for the promotion.
We now know who he’ll compete against as Ewen looks to move to 5-0. The man opposite him in the cage will be Noah Gugnon who fights out of Sarrebourg, France. The deal that Ewen has signed with Bellator is a six-fight development deal. This should see him compete in the organisation for at least two years.
The bout is scheduled to take place at Bellator Dublin on the 23rd of September later this year. Both fighters have previously fought at featherweight but the fight is listed for lightweight.
Mark Ewen
A fighter who is one of the best and brightest to emerge from Scotland. Fans of Ewen will tell you just how good he is. 4-0 as a professional, finishing all four. Three by way of knockout and a lone submission via anaconda choke.
Looking to continue his rise, Ewen hopes he can show the world his elite potential come September. A special talent, Ewen is well-versed both in the stand-up and on the mat.
Ranked as the number-one amateur in the UK before he turned professional. Ewen has continued his evolution drawing the attention of the Bellator matchmakers.
Noah Gugnon
Entering Dublin for his Bellator debut as well. France’s Gugnon already has a fight booked for June 10th, as he looks to match Mark’s four-and-zero record at Kingdom Fighting 1.
He possesses a purple belt in BJJ evidenced by two submission victories on his record. He also holds a KO victory, with a 3-0 record. Unbleamisged as an amateur as well. However, he only competed once.
