It’s fight week in Newcastle! Cage Warriors – Europe’s Leading MMA Organisation – is back after what seems like an eternity, with one of its most action-packed cards of the year!
In the evening’s main event, Brazilian grappling specialist Nonato Junior steps up to the plate at the eleventh hour, looking to add to an already impressive submission tally and leapfrog his way to the top of the lightweight ladder! Waiting to welcome him back to Cage Warriors is former champion George Hardwick, who’ll be looking for an emphatic victory to establish himself as the number one contender in the stacked 155lb weight class.
Elsewhere on the bill, Scottish fan favourites Chris Bungard and Reece McEwan are back in action, facing Simone Patrizi and Elton Armindo respectively. Top UK prospect George Staines makes his Cage Warriors debut, while Matt Figlak makes his long-awaited return to action in the Famous Yellow Gloves.
