Fight Overview
A phenomenal welterweight clash pitting the undefeated former Cage Warriors champion Sean Clancy Jr. (8-0) against CES champion and bare-knuckle veteran Gary Balletto Jr. (11-3).

Keys to Victory
Sean Clancy Jr.
- Disguise takedown entries behind rapidly improving boxing combinations to catch Balletto off guard
- Force Balletto against the fence to initiate tie-ups, utilizing his championship grappling pedigree to secure trips
- Soften Balletto up with heavy ground-and-pound to create openings for his highly effective rear-naked choke
Gary Balletto Jr.
- Lean heavily on his elite bare-knuckle boxing experience, maintaining a high guard and firing crisp counters when Clancy steps into the pocket
- Keep his hips low and maintain a wide base to aggressively sprawl and defend against Clancy's early wrestling blitzes
- Attack the body with ripping hooks to compromise the young Scotsman's cardio over the 15-minute distance
