CWFC Fight Night 5: James Brum v Thomas Back

JAMES BRUM will aim to continue his ascent through the bantamweight division when he takes on Thomas Back (pictured) at CWFC Fight Night 5 in Amman, Jordan on April 12.

Brum (8-2-0), who fights out of Gym 01 in Portsmouth, impressed many with his performance against Leandro Gontijo at CWFC 46 in Kiev last month.

The 24-year-old dominated from start to finish to secure a unanimous decision victory on his Cage Warriors debut, which saw him burst into the top ten in the European rankings and receive the YourMMA.tv UK MMA Fighter of the Month award.

Back (5-4-0), a 38-year-old Swede fighting out of Finland, has previously been ranked in the European top ten and his last win also came against Gontijo back in September.
