The lineup for Cage Warriors’ March return to its home stomping ground of London continues to grow with the addition of several new fights, including one with a UFC veteran.

Cage Warriors 106 results: Excessive blood makes cage unsafe, ending wild ‘Night of Champions’ early

BAD MMA News — Sat, 29 Jun 2019 23:44:49 +0000

Cage Warriors 106 was dubbed “Night of Champions,” but it perhaps may have been more aptly-titled “Night of Drama,” as the U.K.-based MMA promotion served up a quite remarkable night of action that produced some spectacular – and unusual – results at Eventim Apollo in London. None were more unique than what we saw in the main event, when defending welterweight champion Ross Houston and interim champ Nicolas Dalby went toe-to-toe in a bloody war that ended up being ruled a no contest by referee Marc Goddard. The opening round saw Houston (8-0) connect with a slicing elbow that left Dalby (17-3-1) with a nasty gash above his left temple. But after some sterling work in the corner between rounds from the cutman, the gushing blood was stemmed, and the cut was suitably closed for the doctor to rule “Lokomotivo” fit to continue. In the second round, a huge right cross from the Dane left Houston with a broken nose that started to bleed profusely, as well. It led to remarkable scenes as the canvas of the cage was turned blood red, with both fighters struggling to get a foothold on an increasingly slippery surface. With both men bleeding heavily and the action becoming increasingly farcical as the third round unfolded, Goddard called a stop to the action and waved off the fight as a no contest

Cage Warriors 93 results: Carlo Pedersoli Jr. takes split nod over ex-champ Nicolas Dalby in fun clash

BAD MMA News — Sat, 28 Apr 2018 23:44:41 +0000

Nicolas Dalby ’s tale of redemption didn’t get a perfect ending in today’s Cage Warriors 93 headliner, but he made sure fellow welterweight Carlo Pedersoli Jr. had to work for his split-decision win. It may have been Pedersoli Jr.’s (10-1) first time in the Cage Warriors cage, but it didn’t look like it. Faced with Dalby’s (14-3-1) nonstop aggression, the debutant kept his cool and left no blow unanswered, showing off a wide arsenal of tools on the feet – where he even scored a knockdown with a stealth head kick – and on the ground. The battle of wills resulted in 29-27 and 29-28 scorecards on Pedersoli Jr’s favor, against a 29-28 score for Dalby

Cage Warriors 84 results: Nathaniel Wood KO’s Kovacevic to claim vacant bantamweight belt

BAD MMA News — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 23:02:49 +0000

Nathaniel Wood utterly starched Marko Kovacevic with punches in the first round of Friday’s Cage Warriors 84 headliner to capture the organization’s vacant bantamweight championship. Wood (11-3) came out looking for the finish to begin the title fight with Kovacevic (9-2), which took place at Indigo at The O2 in London and streamed on UFC Fight Pass following prelims on The Sport Bible’s Facebook page. After several exchanges on the feet, Wood tagged Kovacevic with a hard shot that put him on wobbly legs. Kovacevic’s attempted to keep his wits about him, but Wood was relentless with his follow up strikes and attacked until a hard shot put Kovacevic on his back and caused the referee to step in and halt the action at 3:41 of Round 1. The finish sent the Brit’s home country fans into a frenzy and marked the first championship fight victory of the 25-year-old’s career

Cage Warriors has a new Irish champion.

The event took place at 3Arena in Dublin, and the main card streamed on UFC Fight Pass. Moore, a 2-1 favorite heading into the bout, used a patient strategy bolstered by counter-punches, overall ground control and the occasional firefight to top “The Hillbilly Heartthrob.” Clark, perhaps best known for his short run on “The Ultimate Fighter 19,” fought off rear-naked chokes at the end of both the first and second rounds
