Signing an exclusive deal to fight in the yellow gloves has provided a platform for many of Europe’s best to launch themselves on a bigger and better career path. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a sword swinger ready to plunge combat’s blade deep into the soul of the Lightweight division when Cage Warriors graces Scottish shores for the second time in 2024 from Glasgow’s Braehead Arena at Cage Warriors 176 on September 7 on a card stacked to high heaven with Scottish representatives. A professional mixed martial artist since August 2021 and representing Scottish Hit Squad, Michael Blair owns a 3-2 record through five professional outings comprised of two knockouts and one decision. He has spent his entire professional career in the United Kingdom and is 1-1 under the Cage Warriors banner. Both of Blair’s finishes during his career as a professional MMA fighter have been inside the opening round. He has gone to the scorecards once over the course of his career as a professional mixed martial artist sweeping them across the board on that occasion.
At Forza Fighting Championship 9, he faced Darren Landsdale and went on to defeat him via technical knockout in the first round. Blair also defeated Thomas Hepburn at Holytown Havoc 3 via TKO in round one to secure his second knockout win as a professional. Then in his second appearance with Cage Warriors on the preliminary card of Cage Warriors 171, he defeated Dec Dean via unanimous decision. The victory earned Blair the first decision win of his professional career in addition to his first win under the Cage Warriors banner. He also picked up his third win inside the professional ranks in the process.
For his third outing under the Cage Warriors banner at Cage Warriors 176 on September 7, Blair will take on Kyle Stevens in an encounter at Lightweight. Good luck Michael!
