Cage Warriors featherweight champion Dean Trueman isn’t ecstatic about how his first title defense against former lightweight champion Soren Bak has come together, but he is adamant that he will not allow the Danish wrestling ace to use him as a stepping-stone to secure a UFC contract.
Trueman clinched the title after winning the promotion’s featherweight tournament with a third-round stoppage of Aiden Lee in December. Although he thought he would be able to take some time off after his hectic 2018 schedule, he claims that Cage Warriors told him if he didn’t defend his title against Bak at Cage Warriors 103, the promotion would allow “True Viking” to compete for an interim title.
