It was a fairytale ending for Mauro Cerilli, who returned home to Rome and secured one final victory in the last fight of his Cage Warriors career.
The evening’s main event ended in anticlimactic fashion, as Francesco Nuzzi and Manoel Silva’s heated feud concluded in a no-contest after Silva was unable to continue following an unintentional groin strike.
However, the real story belonged to Cerilli. The former Cage Warriors champion edged the scorecards before hanging up his gloves, sparking emotional and wholesome post-fight celebrations with the home crowd.
Khadim Dia preserved his undefeated record with a clinical performance against Christopher Bajo in a fight that kept the Roman crowd on the edge of their seats.
Luca Borando’s star continued to rise as he arguably produced his best performance to date, showcasing sharp, clinical striking to stop Caique Araujo impressively.
Fresh off signing a multi-fight deal, Diego Visanzay secured his first Cage Warriors victory, edging out home favourite Simone Patrizi in a closely contested split decision.
Opening the main card, Giuseppe Mastrogiacomo delivered a striking masterclass, dropping his opponent multiple times before securing the finish before the bell.
On the prelims, England took home a trio of surprise victories courtesy of Christian Soda, George Smith and Tommy Brunning.
Meanwhile, Alexandros Moumtzis produced one of the standout moments of the night, locking in a viral omoplata submission that stole the show on the preliminary card.
