Lightweight champion Joe McColgan has vacated his Cage Warriors title, setting up a new championship bout next month. McColgan (8-3-1) vacated the belt “due to personal matters affecting his ability to train,” according to an announcement from Cage Warriors. So a vacant lightweight title bout between George Hardwick (8-1) and Mehdi Ben Lakhdhar (5-0-1) will take place at Cage Warriors 131. The promotion announced the new title fight Tuesday for the event, which is set for Dec. 10 at York Hall in London
