Cage Warriors – Europe’s Leading MMA Organisation – is delighted to confirm that CW bantamweight Francesco Nuzzi has signed with the UFC ahead of his debut this Saturday in Shanghai.
The 29-year-old steps up on short notice to take on veteran Long Xiao live from the Shanghai Indoor Stadium at UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song this weekend.
Opportunity knocks for the Italian having suffered a tormenting start to the year which saw his highly anticipated first main event in the Yellow Gloves end in a highly controversial and anticlimactic fashion with a no-contest called.
Fighting out of Aurora MMA, Nuzzi boasts an 11-2 professional record and a 72% finish rate. He now looks to make his mark on the biggest stage as he swaps the Yellow Gloves for the Black Gloves of the UFC.
Everyone at Cage Warriors wishes Francesco the very best ahead of Saturday night!
