Cage Warriors 121: Challenger disqualified for repeated headbutts in bizarre title fight finish

BAD MMA News — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 00:18:31 +0000

Jack Cartwright extended his perfect professional record and retained his bantamweight title in the Cage Warriors 121 co-main event, but the fight was anything but plain sailing for the unbeaten Brit. Cartwright was given all he could handle by Poland’s Sylwester Miller in their bantamweight title tussle, but the challenger’s ground-and-pound technique ultimately led to his own downfall when he was disqualified in the fourth round after connecting with repeated headbutts on the champion. In a grueling encounter, Miller enjoyed significant success with his takedowns and used his shorter stature to duck under Cartwright’s power punches and launch himself into a series of successful takedowns. The problem for Miller came once the fight was on the canvas, however, as the Pole looked to launch his full body weight into his ground-and-pound. His punches connected with plenty of force to impress the judges, but things started to go awry in Round 2 when he threw himself forward for one particular punch and ended up launching his head into the face of the champion.

Cage Warriors 121: Agy Sardari, Jack Cartwright retain titles on wild night in London

BAD MMA News — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 00:18:29 +0000

Cage Warriors lightweight champion Agy Sardari was made to work for it, but the 27-year-old Dutchman successfully defended his title after a hard-fought battle at Cage Warriors 121. Sardari (14-2) was pushed to the limit by short-notice challenger Donovan Desmae , who answered the call to replace Mehdi Ben Lakhdhar on just 10 days’ notice at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London. But, after five grueling rounds of action, the champion edged a split decision to hang on to his title and register his first title defense. The first three rounds of their lightweight title fight were virtual coin-flip calls as Belgian challenger Desmae (14-6) made light of his short-notice preparation by going toe to toe with the champion. But as the fight went into the championship rounds, Sardari turned up the pressure and made use of his takedowns to do just enough to take the victory on the scorecards.

Undefeated Cage Warriors bantamweight champion Jack Cartwright will put his title on the line in the co-main event of Cage Warriors 121 in London. Manchester’s Cartwright (9-0), who captured the title with back-to-back first-round knockout victories in one night at Cage Warriors Unplugged 2 in 2019, has since defended his title twice in 2020 with victories over Manuel Bilic and Gerardo Fanny at Cage Warriors 112 and 115, respectively. Now the SBG Manchester fighter will look to complete his third straight title defense when he faces Polish submission specialist Sylwester Miller (9-3), who arrives in Cage Warriors riding a two-fight winning streak, with an extended run of form that has seen him lose just once in his past eight outings.

Cage Warriors 112 results: Jack Cartwright calls for UFC Dublin shot after retaining title

BAD MMA News — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 01:16:40 +0000

He might not have delivered the explosive finish some expected pre-fight, but Cage Warriors bantamweight champion Jack Cartwright showed another side as he showcased his grit and determination to outpoint Croatian challenger Manuel Bilic over the full five-round duration at Cage Warriors 112 in Manchester. The pair met in the main event at BEC Arena, with Cartwright claiming the unanimous decision by scores of 48-47, 49-46, 50-45 after a grueling encounter that saw the Bolton man light up the challenger with his heavy-handed boxing early on, then showcase his patience and defensive smarts in the championship rounds. Cartwright (8-0) looked in superb form early on as he repeatedly dropped Bilic (15-7) with solid punches. It also played into the Croatian’s gameplan as Bilic repeatedly looked to trap the champion in a triangle choke as the Brit followed the challenger to the mat. But Cartwright, whose heavy hands disguise a fighter whose base comes from the wrestling and grappling realms, exercised calmness and composure in tricky situations to ensure he was never fully trapped against his opponent, who came into the bout on the back of two consecutive submission finishes. The pace began to drop as the bout entered the championship rounds, but while the pace may have slowed, Cartwright’s mind stayed sharp to avoid Bilic’s submission attacks as the bout went all the way to the judges’ scorecards.
