On Saturday night at the iconic Eventim Apollo, British promotion Cage Warriors will stage one of its biggest shows ever as they stack the deck with six world title fights at Cage Warriors 106, which streams worldwide on UFC Fight Pass. Dubbed “Night of Champions,” it’s an event that has taken a lot of planning from the mastermind behind the promotion, president Graham Boylan. Speaking to MMA Junkie ahead of this weekend’s landmark show, the Irishman said the extra legwork will pay off on fight night. “It was tricky, but I think it’s an historic night in the organization’s history,” he said. “Being at such an iconic venue as the Apollo, moving along the lines of world-renowned acts and having the tagline ‘Live at the Apollo’ made a lot of things fall into line. It kind of came together quite naturally when we started that snowball and, before we knew it, we had a pretty big snowball on our hands.” Boylan says the secret of Cage Warriors’ success is a lack of promotional ego, with the Irishman explaining that recognizing and embracing their place in the MMA world has been instrumental to their success.
