We’re back with the three fighters we think should be on your radar for the rest of 2024. They’ve all made their mark on the amateur MMA world and are aiming for nothing less than victory!
1.) ETHAN LEWIS:
Ethan has truly proven himself to be a threat in the Bantamweight division in Cage Warriors Academy. After coming back from a loss against Jason Seddoh at Supreme CFC, he beat him and became their Bantamweight Champion. He’s an athlete who has shown his potential in MMA.

Ethan’s last performance at Cage Warriors Academy ended in round two with a triangle he deployed against his opponent. He’s got a lot more in the tank, and I can’t wait to see where he goes from here.

2. CAMERON STEWART:
Cameron’s been on a roll in the Lightweight and now the Welterweight division, methodically taking apart every opponent that comes his way.

With his victory against Kadre Dene in April at Cage Warriors Academy 33 crowning him as their new Lightweight Champion, and now doubling up as the Welterweight Champion with his most recent win at Cage Warriors Academy 35, he’s shown his professionalism by incorporating his striking and grappling together.

Camron’s gonna be a fighter who’s coming to take it all this year, so keep your eyes peeled on this talented young man.
2. AIDEN ROONEY:
Last but not least, we have Aiden Rooney. With his stunning catalog of catastrophic submissions, he’s a problem for anyone in the cage with him, given his extensive knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not to mention his superb striking too.

His win against Jacob Gifford, a very gifted fighter from Southend-on-Sea and the current Cage Warriors Academy Featherweight Champion, crowned Aiden as the new champion. The Featherweight division is filled with so much talent right now, and Aiden is one to look out for in the coming years.

With Aiden having no thoughts of slowing down in his MMA career, I’m sure he’ll be showing just how much of an icon he’ll become in amateur and, one day, professional MMA.
Stay tuned for our next episode featuring the fighters who’ll be taking it to the max this year.
