🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Liam Gittins vs Reece McEwan🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 

Kicking off our Cage Warriors coverage, we have the highly anticipated main event in Newcastle—a bantamweight title clash between Englishman Liam Gittins (11-4), and Scotsman, Reece McEwan (7-1). Gittins, who experienced a rocky start in his Cage Warriors journey with setbacks against notable opponents like Gerardo Fanny and Kingsley Crawford, has since undergone a remarkable turnaround. Currently riding a four-fight winning streak, Gittins received the call to step in as a replacement for his teammate Nathan Fletcher against the formidable Reece McEwan.

Hailing from The Griphouse in Glasgow, Reece McEwan stands out as one of Scotland's brightest talents. His undefeated record in Cage Warriors, boasting victories in all four of his previous bouts, speaks volumes about his prowess. Now, McEwan aims to add Liam Gittins to his growing list of conquered opponents. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown between these two formidable bantamweights.

As for the Cage Chronicle’s prediction, we see this going the way of youngster Reece McEwan 🧙 

CAGE WARRIORS 164
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Mick Stanton vs Dario Bellandi🇮🇹 

In the co-main event unfolding in Newcastle, the spotlight shines on the middleweight title clash between the reigning champion, Mick Stanton (12-7), and the resilient Italian contender, Dario Bellandi (6-1). Mick Stanton, currently experiencing a career resurgence, recently clinched the Cage Warriors gold in a gripping five-round showdown against Will Currie back in March 2023. Following a successful title defense against his longtime rival James Webb, Stanton is now geared up to extend his winning streak to seven in the 185lbs division as he faces off against the determined Dario Bellandi.

A product of the esteemed Rendoki Dojo, Dario Bellandi, known as the 'Neanderthal,' has been leaving his mark in the famous yellow gloves. This Italian submission artist has showcased his prowess with four consecutive wins in the competitive middleweight division, with only one of those encounters reaching the distance. Bellandi, exuding confidence, is ready for what he deems as the toughest and most pivotal match of his life as he contends for the coveted 185lbs title. The stage is set for a clash that is poised to become a defining moment in both fighters' careers.

as for the Cage Chronicle’s prediction we think that there will be a new middleweight champion in Dario Bellandi 🧙 

PFL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
🇨🇦Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs Clay Collard🇺🇸 

Shifting gears from Newcastle to Washington D.C., we're in for a colossal PFL World Championship card, headlined by a titanic clash in the lightweight division. The main event features last year's lightweight playoff victor, Olivier Aubin-Mercier (20-5), facing off against his fellow finalist, Clay Collard (24-10). Aubin-Mercier, representing the esteemed TriStar Gym in Canada, has been on a relentless ascent since joining the PFL in 2020. Known as "The Canadian Gangster," the former champion is determined to replicate his success at the 2023 PFL World Championship Finals against Clay Collard this weekend.

On the opposite side of the ring is Clay Collard, touted as the PFL’s most entertaining fighter. His remarkable performances this year, marked by three decisive victories, culminated in a Fight of the Year nominee against Shane Burgos in the playoffs. In that thrilling encounter, Collard threw over 400 strikes in three rounds, securing a unanimous decision and earning his spot in the inaugural PFL Championship.

As Aubin-Mercier showcases newfound danger, and "Cassius" consistently dazzles with memorable performances, the stage is set to discover who will emerge as the lightweight world champion. Will Aubin-Mercier achieve back-to-back glory, or will Collard fulfill the goal he has relentlessly pursued for the past three seasons?

In the Cage Chronicle’s prediction, we anticipate the scales tipping in favour of the Canadian Olivier Aubin-Mercier, as we perceive him to be superior to Collard in all facets of MMA. 🧙‍♂️

In the co-main event slated for Washington D.C., all eyes will be fixated on the heavyweight playoff final featuring Russian stalwart Denis Goltsov (35-7) squaring off against the towering Brazilian contender Renan Ferreira (11-3). Goltsov, a seasoned PFL veteran and a consistent playoff contender, has demonstrated his prowess with three first-round finishes, entering the finals in peak form.

Renan Ferreira, standing at an impressive 6’8”, has capitalized on his remarkable height and precision in striking to secure a coveted spot in the 2023 Heavyweight World Championship, notching back-to-back knockout victories.

Known as "Problema," Ferreira is poised to dictate the pace on the feet, leveraging his extended reach against the adept Russian grappler. However, Goltsov, holding the PFL record for the fastest KO in the heavyweight division with an 18-second triumph in Atlanta this season, is no stranger to stand-up exchanges.
