Fight week is upon up in the capital! The countdown is on for Cage Warriors London, and one of the most densely packed cards in recent memory. No fewer than two title fights will entertain a packed out indigo at The O2 next Saturday night, and if that’s not enough, we here there’s an Epidemic in the air.
Tickets for Cage Warriors 196: London are available here!
Two title fights and one of the most anticipated returns in recent memory sit atop a stacked Saturday night bill. Explosive up and comer Elton Armindo looks to strike while the iron is hot, facing the bantamweight division’s heir apparent, PrizeFighter king Shirzad Qadrian over five rounds for the vacant 135lb title.
In a recent addition to the card, Brazilian buzzsaw Caique ‘The Dark’ Araujo steps up to replace Nik Bagley, looking to make the most of an incredible opportunity at featherweight gold. He faces Ireland’s Solomon Simon.
The King of the indigo, Jordan Vucenic is back in the Famous Yellow Gloves, putting everything on the line against Torpal Merjoev in a lightweight banger.
In another late addition, Bruno Guimaraes will face Tariq Pell at a catchweight of 161lbs, while CW favourites Jawany Scott and Ollie Sarwa take on Michelangelo Lupoli and Tuomas Grönvall respectively.
