UAE Warriors 28 | Will Fleury & Corinne Laframboise Become Champions

By

UAE Warriors 28 took place with the second event of the triple-header of international mixed martial arts live from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. 

UAE Warriors 28 saw SBG Ireland’s Will Fleury (10-4) crowned the inaugural UAE Warriors middleweight champion after a dominant win over current light heavyweight champ Tarek Suleiman (12-8) in the main event. Fleury won the bout on all five judges’ scorecards for a unanimous 50-45 shutout.

In the co-main event, Canada’s Corinne Laframboise (8-4) continued her impressive winning streak with an emphatic first-round submission win over the previously undefeated Carolina Jimenez (7-1). Laframboise now becomes the UAE Warriors flyweight champion, the title previously held by Manon Fiorot prior to her signing with the UFC.
