Prior to Friday, heavyweight Mike “300″ Hayes was considering a drop to the light heavyweight division.

Now, he’s Cage Warriors Fighting Championship’s heavyweight champion.

Hayes scored a nifty third-round submission over Andreas Kraniotakes in the main event of Cage Warriors Fight Night 4, which took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates and aired on MMAjunkie.com.

With 13 finishes in 13 career wins, Andreas Kraniotakes is all about the stoppage win.

With all four of his career losses coming by way of decision, Mike Hayes isn’t exactly familiar with stopping short of the final bell.

“I have 13 wins in my career, and all of those wins came by way of
submission or knockout,” Kraniotakes told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “He’s a guy that refuses to get finished.
That’s an interesting problem to solve, and that’s what I’m trying to
do.”

Three weeks ago, Bellator veteran Mike Hayes was making the drop from
heavyweight to light heavyweight, and he was just 10 or so pounds from
his goal.

But then Cage Warriors called and offered him a heavyweight title fight
at Friday’s Cage Warriors Fight Night 4 event, which streams live on
MMAjunkie.com.

In a video preview of the event, Hayes discusses why his weight worries him little ahead of his bout with German fighter Andreas Kraniotakes.
