This bout will take place in the Welterweight Division and will take place alongside the other 3 confirmed bouts on March 25th at the Skydome, Coventry.
Paul “Semtex” Daley is no stranger to UK MMA fans and has been entertaining audiences in MMA and Cage Kickboxing action since 2003. Daley is known for his left hook and KO power, but has also developed a good wrestling and ground game due to training in the USA with ATT and Eddie Bravo. Daley is coming off an injury loss to Jean Silva last Saturday and will be eager not to make it 2 losses in a row when he takes on the extremely powerful and dangerous Swede on March 25th
Bielkheden is a veteran of the AFC, Shooto Europe and Japan and holds wins over UFC veteran Charles Mccarthy, Ultimate Force UK Middleweight Champion Josenildo “Luquinha” Ramarho and has taken Ryuta Sakurai and Shikou Yamashita the distance in Japan. In his previous Cagewarriors Strike Force appearance Bielkheden impressed the Coventry fans with a brutal ground and pound display to defeat Ramarho inside a round.
Both fighters are well matched and already Paul Daley has stated that he feels that Bielkheden is “is the best Europe has to offer” and is more dangerous than Jean Silva. So fans at the Skydome should be treated to a red hot encounter in the icy confines of the Skydome Arena.

Gulyas Zsolt 3-2-0 (Carlson Gracie Hungary)
Wojcik makes his 2nd CW:SF appearance after stopping Christian Smith in a dominant display at the “Night of Champions” in November.

A veteran of the Total Fight Hungary series, Zsolt is promising an exciting showdown when he faces his Swedish opponent in 6 weeks time.
