Cage Warriors 141 results: George Hardwick crumples Kyle Driscoll with slick body punch to win vacant title

BAD MMA News — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 23:34:15 +0000

George Hardwick is known for his sharp body shots and he showed why in his first major regional promotional title fight Friday in London. At Cage Warriors 141 , Hardwick (10-1) went to his bread-and-butter attack when he blasted AKA’s Kyle Driscoll (13-4) with a series of punches to the body and head to claim the promotion’s vacant lightweight title at 1:25 of Round 4. The fight was closely contested in the early stages. Slowly but surely that changed as Hardwick maintained a high energy level and quick movements. Driscoll’s range was excellent early, but as the fight continued he appeared to slow down. In Round 3, Hardwick dropped Driscoll with a body shot that swung the momentum clearly in his favor

Modern-era fighters progress through the regional ranks with hopes of accomplishing the highest accolades. Many will try, few will succeed. This month, five fighters on the verge of achieving major promotion notoriety – one for the second time – return to the cage for what could be their stepping stone fight

LFA 27 results: Watley grinds out Wilson to retain, Spann picks up quick win

BAD MMA News — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 05:58:48 +0000

Robert Watley said it himself: To him, a fighter isn’t a true champion until defending their belt. After what he did in the lightweight headliner of tonight’s LFA 27, which aired live on AXS TV from Firelake Arena in Shawnee, Okla., Watley can now proudly call himself a champion. In his first attempt to defend the belt he claimed from Thiago Moises back in June, a strategic Watley (9-1) paid close attention to his corner and left no breathing room for an out-of-options Daryl Wilson (7-2). As Watley’s elbows rained down on Wilson, who’d spent the vast majority of the title bout in the same defensive position, the referee had no choice but to step in at the 4:32 mark of Round 3.

Legacy FC 63 highlights: Peace out! Gerald Harris brutally slams ridiculously overweight opponent

BAD MMA News — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 14:12:31 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos Gerald Harris brought a quick and violent end to a ridiculous situation at Legacy FC 63. And he offered an understated “peace out” at the conclusion of it. But you could easily argue that opponent Aaron Cobb had it coming in Friday’s AXS TV-televised headliner at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa in Tulsa, Okla. Harris (23-5), a former UFC and WSOF fighter, returned to the cage for the first in more than three years. However, on weigh-in day, he learned his opponent reportedly weighed in at 220 pounds for their 170-pound welterweight fight. Cobb (6-4) was told to weigh 205 pounds on fight day so they could do a light-heavyweight affair – yet Cobb cut no weight, and Harris chugged water to get to 208 pounds for a heavyweight affair.
