Roland Delorme, the Metis MMA star who was terrific at CFC 3, has agreed to fight Remi Morvan at CFC 4 on Feb. 26.
At least, he’s going to fight Morvan if you believe Morvan’s website.
Morvan has posted that he will get the re-match he’s been after ever since Delorme whipped him at WRECK MMA last December. Late last week, Marc-Andre Drolet, matchmaker for CFC 4, confirmed that Morvan’s post “had merit.” Drolet is not allowed to begin advertising the event yet because of Manitoba Boxing Association regulations.
In their first fight, Delorme upset Morvan right in his hometown of Ottawa, Ont., with what appeared to be a rather dominant arm bar submission late in the first round.
Morvan, wrote the following on his website: “I didn’t fight to my full potential (the first time he met Delorme) and I am a much better fighter than what I displayed that night. That is the reason for me wanting this rematch right away. I want to go out there and fight hard and leave it all on the line win or lose.”
It should be a great fight.
Of course, after an outstanding show in November with Delorme and three other aboriginal champions — Chris Stranger, Eric Perez and Jim Christison – fighting so well, promoter Giuseppe DeNatale’s next card will be held on Feb. 26, at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
Here is a tentative lineup, courtesy of some of the fighters:
Dan Christison vs Mike Wessel
Lindsey Hawkes vs John Makdessi
Remi Morvan vs Roland Delorme
TBA vs Chris Stranger
Adam Graybill vs Lance Cartwright*
Meanwhile, DeNatale is close to signing a contract with The Score to have the card televised after the network’s weekly MMA show and a brand new circular “cage” is on order from the manufacturer.
“I’ve been using a ring but clearly, MMA should be in a cage,” DeNatale said. “We can’t have an octagon because it’s been trademarked by UFC, but we can have a circle and it’s going to be a terrific cage.
“The contract with The Score is not quite done, but we’re down to dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. With Marc-Andre (Drolet) making the matches, this could be the greatest MMA show in Canadian history.”
