Cage Warriors 79 results: Martin Svensson submits Scott Clist, calls for lightweight title shot

Despite an obvious grappling disadvantage, Scott Clist never hesitated to engage Martin Svensson on the ground in today’s Cage Warriors 79 main event. He paid for that choice, succumbing to a second-round submission in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed lightweight headliner at Newport Centre in Newport, Wales. Although Svensson (15-6) was the first to engage in a grappling position with a first-round takedown, it was clear Clist (9-3) had no problem being there once he was taken to the ground. There were several scrambles, with Clist passing up opportunities to escape to the feet and being forced to fend off multiple submission attempts from Svensson in order to escape the round.

With its home country headliner gone from the lineup, next week’s Cage Warriors card in Wales has done some late shuffling and has a new headliner. 185-pound champion Jack Marshman (20-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has gotten the call from the big show and will fight Magnus Cedenblad (14-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) next month at UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. That means the Welshman is out of the Cage Warriors 79 middleweight title main event in Wales against Andreas Michailidis (7-2). A lightweight fight between Scott Clist (11-2) and one-fight UFC and “Ultimate Fighter” veteran Martin Svensson (14-6) has been elevated to the new main event, the promotion today announced. There was no immediate word on whether Michailidis will remain on the card against a new opponent, or what the status will be of Cage Warriors’ now-vacant middleweight belt. Cage Warriors 79 takes place Oct.
