Ross Houston Cage Warriors

Ross Houston trains at SBG Ireland, Coached by John Kavanagh. Houston is 8-0 currently with 5 of those wins are from Cage Warriors. Impressive wins over Stefano Paterno and Nathan Jones. Becoming a Cage Warriors champion is a tremendous accomplishment because it’s the best Regional MMA Promotion in Europe. Similar to Legacy Fighting Alliance in United States.

Cage Warriors Welterweight Champion was a top ten Welterweight Prospect and was only a matter of time until UFC or Bellator signs him.

Congratulations to Bellator for signing Ross Houston.

“So one of the agreements I have with Bellator was that if I sign for them, they will put me on the big shows and get me some of the elite match-ups on the whole planet. The big shows happen in the US and that is where we are looking to make our stamp.”

“They are going to give me the opportunity to fight big names, which is going to fast track my status even more on the international level,” he said. “Whereas if I went to the UFC, I would go right at the bottom and have to work my way back, which could be a long process. It is just a different way round of doing things.
