The England-based Cage Warriors Fighting Championship, fresh off its latest event in its home country, is planning to ramp up its women’s talent base in a major way. Sources close to the promotion on Monday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Cage Warriors is building women’s divisions at 105, 115, 125 and 135 pounds. A formal announcement from the promotion is expected later today. Cage Warriors is no stranger to women’s fights, but the promotion has not had one since June, when Joanne Calderwood stopped Sally Krumdiack with a first-round TKO at Cage Warriors 53 in Glasgow, Scotland. Calderwood, who was 2-0 for Invicta FC at the time, then went on to another Invicta win earlier this month. The source said Cage Warriors hopes to have at least 10 fighters in each of the four divisions, and already has started signing fighters for upcoming events. The promotion on Saturday hosted Cage Warriors 57, which took place at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England
