Cage Warriors 120: Kent Kauppinen claims first decision win, becomes instant contender

BAD MMA News — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 00:59:57 +0000

Kent Kauppinen marked his debut as a Cage Warriors fighter with a first: A decision win. Former Bellator campaigner Kauppinen (13-6) had claimed each of his previous victories inside the distance, but was forced to battle all the way to the scorecards against former middleweight title challenger Jamie Richardson at Cage Warriors 120 in London as he positioned himself as a serious title contender at 185 pounds. The first round saw Kauppinen immediately take the center of the cage as he walked down Richardson (9-7), who seemed happy to work off the back foot and frustrate the veteran. Despite his aggressive positioning, Kauppinen was economical with his output through the opening five minutes as he spent much of the round trying to draw shots from Richardson to open his man up for counter punches. Round 2 saw Richardson give Kauppinen what he wanted by upping his work rate and giving the former Bellator man opportunities to counter. A solid lead uppercut reminded Kauppinen that he had to be wary, however, as both men started to load up in the middle round.
