Following on from a successful night headlining Shock N Awe 18 at the end of 2014 James Pennington (10-2) makes his return to the cage for the first time in 2015 as he meets Timo-Juhani Hirvikangas (10-2) in the main event of Fight Night Finland 9 on April 25th.
Pennington will come to the cage having won four of his last five fights, only losing to former Cage Warriors title contender Cory Tait in that time. Holding notable wins over James Doolan and Kris Edwards Pennington is known as one of the top bantamweights in the UK.
The submission specialist has picked up eight of his 10 wins by submission with five wins by rear naked choke, three by armbar and two by guillotine choke.
Pennington's opponent on April 25th is Timo-Juhani Hirvikangas, a fighter who has a very similar record to Pennington with seven of his ten wins by submission. This is bound sure to be a fight which fans of BJJ and grappling should enjoy.
Hirvikangas comes in to the fight having only lost once in his last 10 fights and riding a five fight win streak. In that time he has finished each of his previous eight opponents who he defeated with his only loss in that time coming by split decision.
This will be the first time Pennington has fought outside the UK and will be a very tough test for the Brit.
