Warrior's Dream Series 17 is set to take place on June 6 in Mumbai, featuring an international main event and a lineup of rising mixed martial arts talent from India and abroad.

The event will be headlined by an India vs. United Kingdom welterweight clash as Kimson Tony takes on Ben Holdsworth in a 77.1-kilogram contest. The bout marks one of the biggest opportunities of Tony's career as he looks to defend home turf against the experienced British fighter.

In the co-main event, Satgunhao Kipgen faces Bishal Sahu in a 58.5-kilogram catchweight bout. Both fighters enter the contest looking to strengthen their standing in the domestic MMA scene.

The card also features several international matchups. Geza-Khadzhi Makhmatkhadzhiev will take on Sohail Khan at light heavyweight, while Muhiddinov Oyatullo meets Kesavan M in a featherweight contest.

A bantamweight showdown between Rohit Raina and Ashok Bagade adds further intrigue to the card, while flyweight prospects Sangramsingh Godase and Sagar Dange are set to square off in another featured matchup.

Warrior's Dream Series has continued to establish itself as one of India's leading MMA promotions, providing a platform for emerging talent to compete against both domestic and international opposition. Fight Night 17 is expected to continue that tradition with a card featuring athletes from multiple countries and weight classes.
