There is no exact science to sports, especially regarding a fighter’s journey to professional stardom. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet the newest scientist of showmanship, ready to froth and foam at the surface level and burst Scotland’s bubble in a single pop as the latest Amateur to lace up in the yellow gloves at Cage Warriors 187 on April 19. An Amateur mixed martial artist since December 2022 and representing Fighting Fit Manchester, Christian Soda holds a 7-4 record consisting of five decisions and two submissions. He has fought for UK Fighting Championships and Full Contact Contender. Soda has spent his entire career as an Amateur MMA fighter in the United Kingdom.
