Oscar Ownsworth is “ready for business” against his opponent Sergio Jesus for the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Professional International title at Caged Steel this Saturday.
Ownsworth, 28 (AKA Ginger Fury) is prepared to showcase his strikes and submissions at his first title shot on Saturday 3 December at Doncaster Dome.
Residing in Sheffield and fighting out of AVT MMA, Leeds, he has been training for 10 years, with the run-up to the fight consisting of intense Monday to Saturday sessions of wrestling, MMA, Jujutsu, kickboxing and boxing.
His experienced opponent, Sergio Jesus, 30, has a positive fight record with seven wins, ten draws and zero loses.
Despite Jesus taking on the fight nine days before, Ownsworth said: “I am not letting that bother me as I am the one that’s prepared.”
Weighing in at the powerful upper-weight limit of 70.3kg pre-fight, he is determined to not be afraid by his opponent’s “wild punches”.
The always smiling Ginger Fury may glow an aura of positivity outside the cage, but said: “As soon as that cage door locks, I’m ready for business.”
He said: “It’s a rollercoaster of emotions and adrenaline, but I’m ready for whatever he’s going to throw at me.”
Hoping to continue his winning streak and increase his 96% total body strikes landed, he is positive about a first-round knock-out.
