TRUE grit yielded a true Brit award for United Masters mixed martial arts devotee Nick Sanderson, writes Tony Kelly.
The fighter, one of the most combative on the city’s circuit, was crowned the British welterweight MMA champion after a showdown at the Cage Fighter VI promotion at Leeds.
The show comprised many of the north’s leading pros but Sanderson produced one of the night’s stand-out performances to capture the title on points.
