Background
On December 16th Raphael Uchegbu will defend his FCC Bantamweight Title against Lucas Rodrigues .
Uchegbu will enter the fight holding both the FCC Featherweight and Bantamweight Titles.
The Team Kaobon trained fighter is undefeated in his time under the FCC banner, both fights by finish; the 28-year-old appears to be coming into his fighting prime.
Last time out, Uchegbu sunk in a rear-naked choke to capture the Featherweight Title against Chute Box fighter, Matheus Linhares. His FCC debut saw him work to an armbar over a bloodied Andres Felipe Molano at FCC 33, to win that soon to be defended Bantamweight Title.
Uchegbu expressed his excitement about showcasing his talents on FCC.
“I’m looking forward to fighting on FCC, it’s a great show!" He said.
"Some great fighters have come on the show, and I think it’s one of the top promotions in the local scene, so I’m happy to be fighting for the belt.”
Apart from winning titles at the regional level, Uchegbu has also spent time fighting in such promotions as PFL and Bellator, holding a 100% finish rate in the latter.
Fans will be in for a serious treat when these two take the stage, the fight will be a battle between two of the best Bantamweights that the UK has to offer
