The fight is also an entry point for young fighters entering the pro circuit, with fighters like Jared Chauvin, who made his first professional appearance at MotorCity Cage Night 10. The fight also hosts fighters from throughout the midwest like Justin Richwine, who fought Anthony Coleman in 2022 for the Heavyweight belt.
Lou Radecki and champion fighter Anthony Coleman who took home the Heavyweight Belt in 2022 are also Michigan-born fighters, affiliated with several local gyms that are steadily finding themselves in the UFC’s sights. Many fighters in the MotorCity Cage Night series are locals from the Michigan area, like Dearborn, local Derrick Mandell, the champion of MotorCity Cage Night 2 in late 2018.
Most events have 10 to 15 bouts in one night, with flyweight and middleweight fights being the bulk of fights at these events.
