Power hails from Wakefield, West Yorkshire but trains out of Atherton Submission Wrestling in Manchester. While the Englishman boasts an unblemished MMA record through 6 fights, none of Power’s prior opponents have registered a win in MMA, combined for an 0-4 record in total. Taking on his most difficult test to date in Shelley, Power will look to extend his 6-fight win streak in his Cage Warriors debut.
