A huge bout has been added to Cage Warriors’ upcoming return to London! Former British Army Paratrooper Cameron Else will take on $50,000 PrizeFighter winner Shirzad Qadrian in a bout fuelled by bad blood. The pair will meet in a featured three-round contest at CW 192, on Saturday, July 12th at the indigo at The O2.

London-based Iranian Qadrian (7-1) competes for the first time since his history-making $50,000 PrizeFighter tournament win in July 2024.
‘The Lion’ defeated both Weslley Maia and Alexander Loof on the same evening to bag the prize, and a shot at the bantamweight title. With Ramadan delaying his title shot and champion Liam Gittins set to rematch Alessandro Giordano after their march meeting ended in controversy, Qadrian became embroiled in a war of words with fellow contender Else, stating…
“Cameron, sign the contract big boy! It’s time to make someone humble. 12th of July…see you soon!”
The UK’s Else (11-6) is a UFC veteran with a 91% finish ratio. The 38 year old UFC veteran last saw action in April of 2024, breaking the heart of hometown favourite Reece McEwan with a nail-biting split decision victory. He also holds the distinction of being the first man to hand Paddy Pimblett an MMA defeat.
The Para didn’t mince his words when responding to Qadrian’s call out.
“You found your balls! You found that lion in you. Everything you thought would happen when they first offered you my name, is gonna happen…but a lot f***ing worse.”
Qadrian vs Else bolsters an already stacked CW 192 card on July 12th, headlined by a sizzling flyweight title bout pitting champion Shaj Haque against challenger Jawany Scott. Other featured bouts include Weslley Maia vs Aidan Stephen, Jack Humphries vs Rory Evans, Ollie Sarwa vs Damiano Scogna, Tariq Pell vs David Jacobsson and the return of CW fan favourite Brad Wheeler as he takes on Raphael Aronov.
