A middleweight contest between Oluwale Bamgbose and Britain’s own Tom Breese is official for UFC Fight Night 107, which takes place in London.
Tom Breese posted the news on his Facebook account.
Bamgbose (6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) was 5-0 coming into the UFC, picking up all five wins in the first round on the Ring of Combat shows. He made his UFC debut as a short notice replacement against Uriah Hall, but was stopped in the first round of their bout in August of 2015. The American’s second UFC bout came against Daniel Sarafian at UFC Pittsburgh. Bamgbose won the fight via TKO in the first round. In his most recent outing, “The Holy War Angel” dropped a unanimous decision loss to Cezar Ferreira at UFC Tampa.
Breese (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) debuted in the UFC with a 7-0 record with experience on both Cage Warriors and BAMMA shows. A first round stoppage over Luiz Dutra at UFC Goiania was Breese’s first UFC win, before he dominated, and eventually finished Cathal Pendred in the first round of their bout at UFC Dublin. In his third UFC bout, Breese faced Keita Nakamura at UFC London, and won the bout via unanimous decision. In his most recent outing, Breese faced Sean Strickland at UFC 199, and after three rounds, the Brit lost a controversial split decision.
