Michele Martignoni will attempt to capture the Cage Warriors Fighting Championship bantamweight title in front of a hometown crowd when he meets Dominique Wooding in the CW 144 headliner on Friday at Fiera Roma in Rome. The 26-year-old Martignoni sports a 7-1 record with a 71% finish rate. An Aurora MMA representative, he has proven to be a versatile competitor who appears to be equally adept at submitting opponents and putting them down with strikes. Martignoni boasts five first-round stoppage victories, the fastest coming in a mere six seconds.
Martignoni is one of the first Italian professionals to grow up as a pure mixed martial artist.
