Fight Preview
Mick Stanton is defending his Middleweight title in the CW164 Newcastle main event. The English fighter is 12-7 overall with a 2-0 record since returning to Cage Warriors earlier this year. Before that, “The Huyton Hammer” had a stint in the Full Contact Contender (FCC) and Professional Fighters League (PFL).
This guy is a fantastic striker, the evidence being that 42% of his wins happened by knockout/technical knockout. Stanton also has a background in submission wrestling, which is why it’s kind of surprising that four of his losses happened by submission.
Should this worry him ahead of the fight with Dario Bellandi? Nicknamed “Neanderthal”, the Italian fighter is a well-rounded martial artist who’s got two wins by submission in his portfolio. Still, his strongest weapon is boxing.
It’s very likely he’ll try to outbox his opponent in Newcastle given that he’s three inches taller than Stanton and has a longer reach than the Englishman.
Mick Stanton vs. Dario Bellandi CW164 Newcastle Prediction
Bellandi has fought five fights under the banner of Cage Warriors. Three of those took place in his home country of Italy. On November 25, 2023, he’s fighting on Stanton’s turf.
