Paddy Pimblett had the hype, the belt, and the crowd heading into tonight’s Cage Warriors 82. But none of it was enough to deter challenger Nad Narimani from his mission. With a unanimous call from the judges, 29-year-old Narimani (10-2) snapped 22-year-old Pimblett’s (13-2) nine-fight streak to walk away with a third straight win and, of course, a shiny new belt. The five-round featherweight bout that headlined the card at England’s Echo Arena Liverpool was streamed live on Fight Pass. After 5 rounds we have a NEW featherweight champion!!! Congrats Nad Narimani #CW82 https://t.co/IMCYzS3z3A — Cage Warriors (@CageWarriors) April 1, 2017 Trouble began early for Pimblett, who, after getting the worst of an exchange against the fence, shot desperately for a takedown. The attempt ended with Narimani weighing on top of Pimblett, who held on to the challenger’s leg while being punished with punches.
