Two new bouts have been added to the BAMMA 14 card as Jimmy Wallhead (24-8) faces Florent Betorangal (14-7) in a welterweight matchup, and Matt Howard (9-1) takes on Harry McLeman (5-2) in a middleweight showdown. The event is set to take place at the LG Arena in Birmingham, England, on Dec. 14.
The fights were announced by BAMMA officials earlier today.
BAMMA 14 will feature a headline bout between between Paul Daley and Romario Da Silva, who will engage in a welterweight showdown. The main card is expected to air on Channel 5 with the prelims likely to air online.
Jimmy Wallhead last fought at BAMMA 13 in September, where he dropped a split decision loss to Eddy Ellis. Prior to that he picked up a first round submission win over Matt Veach at BAMMA 12 in March. Wallhead now has the chance to bounce back into the win column against Betorangal.
30-year-old Frenchman Florent Betorangal was last in action at GMC 4 in July, where he scored a third round TKO victory over Carlos Eduardo Rocha. Prior to that suffered a unanimous decision loss to Mukhamed Aushev at M-1 Challenge 40 in June. That fight snapped a three fight winning streak he had been on, defeating notable fighters such as Florent Michel, Davy Gallon and Elijah Bokelli. Betorangal will no doubt look to pick up a big win over Wallhead on December 14th.
Meanwhile, Matt Howard suffered his first professional loss At OMMAC 15 in October 2012, where dropped a unanimous decision loss to Lee Chadwick. Prior to that he had been on a nine fight winning streak, defeating notable competition such as Micky Burns, Mick Lens and Shaun Lomas. Howard now has the chance to impress with a good performance against McLeman.
Harry McLeman last fought at BAMMA 13 in September, where he secured a second round submission win over Matt Hallam. Prior to that he suffered a second round TKO loss to Simon Carlsen at EMMA 5 in April. That loss followed a second round TKO victory over Wojciech Jamrozik at SFC 8 in March. McLeman now gets the opportunity to begin a winning streak with a win over Howard.
