Cage Warriors 121: Challenger disqualified for repeated headbutts in bizarre title fight finish

BAD MMA News — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 00:18:31 +0000

Jack Cartwright extended his perfect professional record and retained his bantamweight title in the Cage Warriors 121 co-main event, but the fight was anything but plain sailing for the unbeaten Brit. Cartwright was given all he could handle by Poland’s Sylwester Miller in their bantamweight title tussle, but the challenger’s ground-and-pound technique ultimately led to his own downfall when he was disqualified in the fourth round after connecting with repeated headbutts on the champion. In a grueling encounter, Miller enjoyed significant success with his takedowns and used his shorter stature to duck under Cartwright’s power punches and launch himself into a series of successful takedowns. The problem for Miller came once the fight was on the canvas, however, as the Pole looked to launch his full body weight into his ground-and-pound. His punches connected with plenty of force to impress the judges, but things started to go awry in Round 2 when he threw himself forward for one particular punch and ended up launching his head into the face of the champion.

Cage Warriors 121: Agy Sardari, Jack Cartwright retain titles on wild night in London

BAD MMA News — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 00:18:29 +0000

Cage Warriors lightweight champion Agy Sardari was made to work for it, but the 27-year-old Dutchman successfully defended his title after a hard-fought battle at Cage Warriors 121. Sardari (14-2) was pushed to the limit by short-notice challenger Donovan Desmae , who answered the call to replace Mehdi Ben Lakhdhar on just 10 days’ notice at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London. But, after five grueling rounds of action, the champion edged a split decision to hang on to his title and register his first title defense. The first three rounds of their lightweight title fight were virtual coin-flip calls as Belgian challenger Desmae (14-6) made light of his short-notice preparation by going toe to toe with the champion. But as the fight went into the championship rounds, Sardari turned up the pressure and made use of his takedowns to do just enough to take the victory on the scorecards.

Undefeated Cage Warriors bantamweight champion Jack Cartwright will put his title on the line in the co-main event of Cage Warriors 121 in London. Manchester’s Cartwright (9-0), who captured the title with back-to-back first-round knockout victories in one night at Cage Warriors Unplugged 2 in 2019, has since defended his title twice in 2020 with victories over Manuel Bilic and Gerardo Fanny at Cage Warriors 112 and 115, respectively. Now the SBG Manchester fighter will look to complete his third straight title defense when he faces Polish submission specialist Sylwester Miller (9-3), who arrives in Cage Warriors riding a two-fight winning streak, with an extended run of form that has seen him lose just once in his past eight outings.
