Soren Bak ruined Paddy Pimblett ’s opportunity to join Conor McGregor in Cage Warriors lore when he won the vacant lightweight title in today’s Cage Warriors 96 main event. Pimblett (14-3), who is the organization’s current featherweight champion, was unable to add the lightweight belt to his collection. Bak (11-1) outworked his opponent over the course of five rounds to take a unanimous decision victory in the event headliner, which took place at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England, and streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

He got ahold of Bak and advanced to back control, where he jumped on a rear-naked choke.
