Another International Bout Added to Stacked Cage Warriors Show
Date submitted: 12 June 2008
Author: Mick Bower
    
 

Even though it already one of the strongest UK shows for a long time - Cage Warriors are still making additions to their next card.

 

Warrior Promotions MMA UK Limited are adding a further quality bout to their stacked Welterweight card at the seventh installment of the Rough House series. July 12 will see the CWFC debut of the unbeaten young standout Simeon "The Grin" Thoresen at Cage Warriors: Enter the Rough House 7. The Norwegian will take on Matt Thorpe.

 

Thoresen, a student of the former Shooto World Champion and Pride FC star Joachim Hansen, is the current Adrenaline Sports Welterweight Champion having won the Title on April 12th after winning a four man tournament at Adrenaline 2: Rise of the Champions in Denmark defeating both the Brazilian jiu-jitsu purple belt Andre Mineus and the amateur Shooto champion Cole Lauritzen by Armbar in the process.

 

Thoresen first made his name by plying his trade in the UK having made his debut at Intense Fighting 5: Caged in August 2006 before making five straight appearances on the Essex based Ultimate Warrior Challenge promotion. It was his performances at UWC which caught the attention of the CWFC team, MMA pundits and fans alike. As the Norwegian prodigy put in some sublime performances which saw the Team Joachim Hansen fighter claim 4 of his first 5 wins inside a round, with six of his seven wins coming by submission.

  

Thoresen steam rolled through his opposition with two Triangle wins over Clifford Hall, a controversial but impressive submission victory over the tough Liverpudlian Lee Dixon and dominant performances against the Lithuanian Soli Clichko, the American GI Chas Jacquier (by TKO) and another quick submission win against the unorthodox veteran Paul "Hands of Stone" Jenkins.

 

Due to his impressive performances and stellar record Thoresen has been the subject of several articles and has been featured on leading international MMA websites as well as media and blogs in his native Norway. Meanwhile speculation abounds that Thoresen is considering big offers to fight in the US or Japan, he will take another step up the international ladder when he fights on one of Europe's most respected and well known events on July 12 when he faces the experienced Matt "12 Gauge" Thorpe at Cage Warriors: Enter The Rough House 7.

 

Following the recent controversy when Manuel Garcia pulled out of his upcoming fight with Thorpe, the Northern Cartel veteran has been vocal in his dismay at finding opponents and will no doubt be relishing this opportunity to show his skills on July 12

 

Headlining the latest in the latest Rough House series at will be Pro Elite star Paul "Semtex" Daley. After a near four year absence from CWFC, he will face the unbeaten Slovenian Bojan "Zelva" Kosednar in his home town of Nottingham, England on July 12.

 

Daley is the current Cage Rage and FX3 Welterweight World Champion and is widely regarded as one of the best pound for pound fighters in Europe. A team mate of recent UFC signee and current Cage Warriors World Champion Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy, Daley has become a transatlantic star due in part to his charismatic persona as well as his devastating Muay Thai striking and has shown repeatedly that he can stun his opposition from a distance or close up with his explosive left hook and fearsome ground and pound.
