Jordan Vucenic made it a successful return to Cage Warriors with his entertaining clash against Torpal Merjoev, earning a unanimous decision victory in London.
The former UFC lightweight stepped up against an undefeated prospect in a high-stakes comeback bout, and he delivered with an all-out war in the capital.
In the co-main event, Solomon Simon became the new Cage Warriors featherweight world champion after a second-round stoppage of Vicente Araujo, becoming the third Irish fighter to claim the belt in the division’s history after Paul Hughes and Conor McGregor.
The Irishman’s persistence paid off as he secured the finish in the dying seconds of the round, followed by an intense face-off in the cage with #1 contender Nik Bagley.
Jawany Scott made his return to winning ways, showcasing slick submission skills in a back-and-forth battle with Michelangelo Lupoli.
Ollie Sarwa continued his impressive form, preserving his undefeated professional record with a strong win over highly regarded European contender Tuomas Grönvall.
While Tariq Pell pushed his 2025 record to 3-0 with a flawless three-round performance against a tough short-notice opponent.
It was also 3-0 for BST on the night, with Marin Vetrila kicking things off for the team in style by scoring a devastating body-shot knockout.
However, ‘Knockout of the Night‘ honours belonged to Kadeem Perkins, who delivered a career-best performance with a brutal KO of previously undefeated Ciaran Brady.
