Pivotal Welterweight Match-Up Added to BFL 83
One of Canada’s brightest prospects will take on a dangerous threat at the next Battlefield Fight League event on April 17.
Undefeated 20-year-old Adam Posener is set to fight Ontario’s Zackery Powell at BFL 82. The welterweight match-up will be for the vacant 170-pound championship.
170 Pound Title Fight – Posener vs. Powell
Posener (4-0) has been touted as the next big Canadian MMA star. He has even been compared to Rory MacDonald. The British Columbia based fighter has proved his worth in the division, turning pro at the beginning of 2024 and racking off four straight submission wins.
In his last outing, ‘Primetime’ took on a dangerous striker in Trukon Carson and pulled off an insane armbar at the 4:55 mark of the third round at Samourai 12.
Powell (9-2) has been a pro since 2018 and began his career on a four-fight winning streak. He made his way to B.C. to fight under the BFL banner at BFL 67 in 2021 and lost a very controversial split-decision to Dario Sinagoga. He stated he wouldn’t fight for the promotion again, but fast forward four years and a title shot at stake, and the 28-year-old will look to punch a ticket to the UFC with a victory over a young and hungry prospect.
Training with the talented Niagara Top Team, Powell is currently on a three-fight winning streak, with a very impressive unanimous decision victory over Mohamed Ado in his most recent bout at Unified MMA 60.
It has not been stated where this match-up will land on the fight card, however, one can only think it will be the co-main event live on UFC Fight Pass.
Other match-ups announced for BFL 83 are Dejan Kajic vs. Sadeck Samon, Josh Kwiatkowski vs. Teshay Gouthro, Erfan Ahangarian vs. Tylor Nicholson, Harrison Woods vs. Dan Baxter and Navid Zanganeh vs. Nic Ouellet.
