Charmaine Tweet vs. Stacy Hayes women’s Eikö title fight booked for July 28 in England

It’s official! Canadian women’s standout Charmaine Tweet has been booked to fight Stacy Hayes for the Eikö’s 70kg championship title that will be held on July 28, 2013 in England.

This marks the promotion’s first professional women’s MMA bout.

News of the matchup came to us from Tweet’s camp just moments ago.

The Saskatchewan-native Charmaine Tweet is riding a two-fight win streak with wins over Puja Kadian back in Nov. 2012 in India and most recently Sy Jewett on March 15, 2013.

“Char’s training has been taken to a new level”, states Cord Crowthers, manager of the Canadian who’s recent performance has reflected just that with her slick submission win over Jewett.

That may spell trouble for her opponent Stacy Hayes, who’s last fight was ruled a no-contest against Chloe Hinchliffe due to illegal strikes delivered after the fight.

With women’s MMA breaking into the mainstream, it is only fair to say that if Tweet keeps racking in these wins, we could see another female Canadian inside the UFC Octagon in the near future.
