After an exciting card filled with spectacular finishes, the Cage Warriors 83 main event ended in an underwhelming and premature fashion when Che Mills suffered a knee injury just 18 seconds into his bout with Lewis Long . The welterweight fight, which served as the headliner for Saturday’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed event at Newport Centre in Newport, Wales, came to a conclusion quickly when Long (15-4) charged across the cage and scored a big takedown on the UFC veteran Mills (16-10). The second Mills’ back hit the canvas he immediately expressed a look of agony and tapped out. The referee jumped in for the stoppage, much to the confusion of both Long and the fans. Once it was evident Mills was injured, though, the mood shifted to a state of concern. Mills eventually was helped off the canvas by his team (with an assist from Long, as well) and exited the cage in what will officially go down as his fifth loss in his past seven fight.
