The New Breed 5
Feb 21, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Once again KnuckleUp is proud to bring you “The
New Breed 5”. Matt Hand and Dane Bowers are proving that The New
Breed is dedicated to bringing you the fights you want to see. If
you have any doubts then you obviously missed the explosive end of
2010 with New Breed 4! The fights are once again to be held in the
amazing city of Bath on the 5th of March 2011 at the Bath Pavilion.
Below are fighter highlights for the up and coming pro card at The
New Breed 5.
 Wesley Murch: Murch has once again found himself at the top of the bill and with good reason. He is currently riding a three-fight win streak and all his wins have been in the first round. In those three fights he has not been content to wait for the action as he immediately goes on the offensive. This has resulted in wins via TKO and two submissions. Wesley has showcased highlight worthy takedowns and very slick submissions in his last outings. With his cheeky demeanor and always exciting in your face fight style he has quickly become a fan favorite and an opponent’s nightmare.
 Josh Dennis: Josh Dennis is coming into this bout with
nothing to lose and is ready for an all out war. He has yet to
taste victory within the cage, which has made him train that much
harder. He is looking to change that starting with Wesley Murch.
Like a wild animal backed into a corner he will be dangerous and
unpredictable. His opponent will have to expect the unexpected and
keep sharp, as Josh will stop at nothing to get this win and prove
that his luck has changed.
 Jay “Cage Rage” Mortimore: A fight that will definitely have fans out of their seats will be Jay “Cage Rage” Mortimore vs. James Hurrell. Jay Mortimore is an up and coming U.K. star with his sights set on all top ranked U.K. heavy weights. If his last fight was any indication (19 second KO) of what is to come, then don’t blink. Jay has recently captured the Spartan Fight Challenge HW title and his self-confidence as at an all time high. Touted as the next big thing, look for this Exmouth Lion’s Den fighter to put his stamp on The New Breed 5. Â
 Paul Croft: He definitely believes in getting the job done and getting it done quickly. He has five pro MMA fights all ending in the first round and his longest bout was 1 minute 51 seconds. Paul Croft can be best described as a whirlwind of pain. In his fight with Stephen Neesham he highlighted his willingness to get to business by immediately closing down the distance, working the take down, and throwing devastating elbows within his opponents guard. His last two fights have ended by TKO and he will be looking to continue this streak come March 5th.
Ben Crook: Ben is known as the Spider and it could be his ability to trap you in his guard. All of his wins have come by way of submissions; either triangle or guillotine chokes. He is definitely a ground savvy submission fighter and will look to catch Paul Croft in his submission web. If it goes to the ground his opponent Paul Croft will definitely look to ground and pound. Ben will need to weather the storm and stay active with his guard. However, Ben is also a Muay Thai practitioner and may want to keep it on the feet and utilize his length. Either way this fight will be one you do not want to miss. Â
There will be 13 amateur and three professional bouts. This card will be stacked with old and new faces as they return to do battle at the Bath Pavilion. On the card is the first ever women’s bout under The New Breed banner. This fight has had a lot of interest and it will pit Cherie Buck against Helena Martin. Cherie has a total of five fights but is a seasoned veteran. She has a Muay Thai back ground and will showcase explosive stand up and a high standard of wrestling. She is ecstatic that this fight is happening as her last scheduled bouts were canceled. Her opponent Helena Martin has taken this fight very seriously. She has been to America and trained with UFC super star Matt Hughes at his H.I.T. squad gym. She has a kick boxing background and will not be intimidated on the feet. Working with Matt Hughes you would assume that her wrestling and submission is firing on all cylinders. She will have added pressure on her to perform as a cable company has documented her preparation for this fight. Regardless of the winner, these women are out to prove that they belong in the cage. Â

James Hurrell: James is known as a man with dynamite power in both
hands. This will be an interesting fight for James, as he is the
taller of the two fighters. This fight for him will be based on his
ability to keep it at range. If he uses his length in this fight it
could be a long night for Jay “Cage Rage” Mortimore. James has two
submissions on his record by arm bar showing that he does have a
ground game. This fight has been predicted to bring the house down
and could steal fight of the night honors.
