Local fighter to make pro MMA debut on Saturday

Saturday night will be a first for many things concerning the sport Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). For starters, Nutty Jerry’s Entertainment Complex in Winnie will host their first MMA event when the IXFA comes to town on April 23 and 26-year-old Cody Williams will make his professional debut when he steps inside the cage to fight Gerzan Chaw of Houston.

Williams will also carry the tag of being the first MMA fighter from Beaumont to become a pro competitor. The area is known for producing pro boxers, but Southeast Texas has yet to have a pro MMA fighter until now.
