Brian Bouland ’s hopes of becoming Belgium’s first Cage Warriors champion were short-lived in today’s Cage Warriors 94’s headliner. Fighting against the home product at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium, Spain’s Ilia Topuria (6-0) took no notice of Bouland (7-2) and quickly added a sixth submission victim to his unbeaten record. Because Topuria missed the bantamweight limit by 4.4 pounds, he was ineligible compete for the bantamweight title vacated by recent UFC signee Nathaniel Wood. Still, he got to announce himself in rather impressive fashion to the rest of the Cage Warriors roster (via Twitter ): Ilia Topuria with the upset!
