Shirzad Qadrian emerged from CW 174 London $50,000 richer, triumphing in the one-night Prizefighter bantamweight tournament. Qadrian defeated Weslley Maia and Alexander Loof to claim his glory.
The Iranian faced a highly-anticipated rematch against Maia, avenging his sole defeat, and then went three more rounds in the final against Loof to secure his jackpot win.
Loof’s journey included a victory over Aidan Stephen in the second semi-final, but he ultimately fell short in the final.
In the reserve bout, Alessandro Giordano secured his status as Italy’s top bantamweight with a late guillotine win over former champion Michele Martignoni.
Jordan Vucenic, moving up from featherweight, solidified his reputation as Europe’s best unsigned UFC talent with a lightning-fast submission, securing victory just over a minute into his bout with Adrian Kepa.
Former champion James Webb also successfully moved up in weight, earning a unanimous decision victory against Adam Biegański.
The Fight of the Night honours likely go to Ger Harris and Jawany Scott, who delivered a thrilling battle for the Indigo crowd, with Scott emerging victorious by split decision.
In the featherweight division, Nik Bagley and Milad Ahady secured significant wins, moving up the rankings ahead of a Prizefighter tournament in their weight class later this year.
On the prelims, Francesco Mazzeo, Rhi-Rhi Hudson, Jimmy Quinn, and Craig Edwards delivered standout performances with brutal first-round stoppages.
While Matt Elliott, Gheorghe Grozav, and Rafael Aronov earned important submission victories in their respective divisions.
