Cage Warriors – Europe’s Leading MMA Organisation – has today confirmed a huge world title fight for its upcoming return to Dublin.
Middleweight champion Paddy McCorry will defend his world title for the first time against Brazilian veteran Julio Spadaccini live from the RDS Arena on September 26.
Tickets for CW 210 Dublin are available here!
McCorry (8-1) captured gold on our landmark 200th event in our previous visit to ‘Baile Átha Cliath‘ via a first-round finish in what was a monumental moment in CW history.
The Fight Academy Ireland prospect, who fights out of Belfast, has amassed plenty of high-level experience, having previously competed on both Dana White’s Contender Series and The Ultimate Fighter.
Julio Spadaccini (10-4) boasts a 90% finish rate and enters the bout on a two-fight winning streak, with both victories coming by first-round finish.
Fighting out of Team Lucas Mineiro in São Paulo, Brazil, Spadaccini has trained alongside Kevin Vallejos, as well as fellow UFC athletes Andre Lima and Tallison Teixeira.
“CW 200 Dublin was one of the biggest events in European MMA history, and we’re only just getting started,” said CW President Graham Boylan.
“We’re excited to return to Dublin with one of Irish MMA’s biggest stars, Paddy McCorry, as he looks to deliver another statement performance and strengthen his case for a UFC call-up at The RDS.”
“Our draft continues to showcase the next generation of Irish talent, with rising stars including Conor McCarthy, Keith Keogh and Maximus Lally all set to compete on September 26th.”
Tickets for Cage Warriors Dublin are available now, with the entire event airing live on UFC Fight Pass. Further bouts will be announced in due course.
