XCW Fighting Championship 49

Central Canada's premier cage fighting event returns on July 27 as Xtreme Cage Wars Fighting Championship (XCWFC) presents "XCWFC 49" at the North Battleford Civic Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. XCWFC is a breeding ground for the international promotions and the 49th installment will showcase some of the rising mixed martial artists soon to hit the national scene on this 9-bout card.

In the main event, Caleb Ermine (1-0) battles Dauda Keita (1-0) for the XCWFC Lightweight Title. Ermine has a well balanced attack in his arsenal and loves to get the fight to the ground where he can apply a submission hold. Ermine won his first fight in a minute when he got the tapout win via choke. Keita has already won a title with XCWFC as he was the former Welterweight Champion, getting second round submission of his own. You have to expect that Keita will be the stronger fighter in the cage as he is naturally the bigger fighter. Look for Keita to try and over power Ermine in the early going. If Ermine can withstand Keita's advances, he might be able to wear Keita out as the drop in weight class could pose a problem as the fight goes on in the cardio department for Keita. Either way this fight goes, it is for all the marbles and someone is walking away with championship gold.

In the co-main event, Ricky Sanderson (0-0) fights Jake Ahenakew (0-1) in a lightweight contenders match. Sanderson is making his debut in this bout against Ahenakew who will have the advantage when it comes to cage time, but has shown that he is susceptible to submissions as he lost his only bout via tapout. This is an even matchup between the two Canadians and a victory for either man will get their career going in the right direction early on and open up more doors for them in the future. Expect both men to be desperate for a victory and throw everything but the kitchen sink at one another. This bout has all the makings of fight of the night, because all the chips are down on the table and both of these men need a win.
