PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release TORONTO (Oct. 30, 2014) -- Fight Network, the world's premier 24/7 television channel dedicated to complete coverage of combat sports, presents the return of Cage Warriors Fighting Championship action with a bang this Saturday, Nov. 1, with two Cage Warriors 73 main cards headlined by world championship fights set to begin at 2 p.m. ET, emanating from Newcastle, England's Metro Radio Arena. Fight Network's live broadcast will air on Cablevision's Optimum TV, Grande Communications, Shentel Cable and Armstrong Cable in the U.S., nationwide in Canada, Roku devices across North America, and globally in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Headlining the first main card set for 2 p.m. ET, Alex Enlund battles Nad Narimani for the vacant Cage Warriors featherweight title. In other featured bouts, Moktar Benkaci meets Ronnie Mann,Leeroy Barnes takes on Kyle Redfearn, Liam James throws down with Dean Trueman, Ellis Hampson squares off with Lewis Monarch, plus Mark Connor and Ian Malone kick off the televised festivities. The action heats up with the second main card set for 5 p.m. ET, as Stevie Ray defends the Cage Warriors lightweight strap against Curt Warburton. The co-feature pits Juan Manuel Suarezagainst Jim Wallhead, while other contests include Shaj Haque vs. Damien Rooney, Matt Inmanvs. Lewis Long, Brett Caswell vs. Marcin Lasota and Stephen Martin vs. Paddy Pimblett. Enlund (10-2-0-1nc), who'll have the benefit of vocal home support as a native of the north-east of England, has accumulated a 4-1 record since joining CWFC. After a move to bantamweight in March 2013 was aborted following a difficult weight-cut and subsequent loss to Martin McDonough, Enlund has looked extremely impressive, embarking on a three-fight win-streak. The 27-year-old jiu-jitsu specialist rebounded with wins over Sebastian Romanowski and Danny Lawson, before disposing of Artem Lobov at CWFC 65 in Dublin earlier this year. Nine of his ten wins have come by way of submission, and Enlund has been taken out of the first round just once in his professional career. "Fighting for the CWFC world title is an absolutely massive opportunity for me," Enlund said."Winning this belt, especially in front of a home crowd at the Metro Radio Arena, would be a huge achievement. Nad Narimani is a good opponent and someone I've seen a lot of, so I'm looking forward to testing my skills against a well-rounded competitor and bringing the belt home." Narimani (7-1) has risen rapidly through the rankings having made his professional debut just over three years ago, starting with a 5-0 run that included notable victories against Marcin Wrzosek and Karsten Lenjoint. The 27-year-old Englishman then kicked off his CWFC career against future title challenger Graham Turner in July 2013, but was edged out via split decision, tasting defeat for the only time in his career so far. But Narimani, who has taken five of his seven wins by stoppage, returned to winning ways courtesy of first-round submissions of previously-undefeated pair Theo Michailidis and Benjamin Brander. Narimani, who hails from Bristol, said: "This is a huge event and opportunity for me, and I'm proud to be getting this chance to show what I can really do against a very highly-ranked opponent. I've been working extremely hard so you can expect me to showcase some new skills and come away with another big win in Newcastle on November 1." Enlund and Narimani will be vying for a title that was most recently held by Jim Alers, who vacated the belt earlier this year after two successful defenses prior to his move to the UFC. Ray (15-5) is currently in his second stint as CWFC lightweight world champion, having first clinched the belt courtesy of wins over Jason Ball and Sean Carter in CWFC's four-man, one-night lightweight title tournament at CWFC 60 in October 2013. The 24-year-old relinquished the strap following a fourth-round submission defeat to Ivan Buchinger last New Year's Eve at CWFC 63 in Dublin, but the title returned to Scotland in June after Ray exacted revenge against Warburton. "I'm looking forward to defending my belt, particularly in Curt's hometown," said Ray. "It's not too far from home for me either, so you can expect an invasion of Scottish fans and a crazy atmosphere." Warburton (13-5) signed to compete exclusively for Cage Warriors Fighting Championship last year, and made a successful debut for the promotion at CWFC 62 with of a first-round submission of Wesley Murch. A three-fight veteran of the UFC, 33-year-old Warburton has put together a 6-2 record since his departure from the UFC following a defeat to Joe Lauzon in June 2011. Warburton said: "The judges won't save Stevie Ray this time. I'm going to put things right in Newcastle on November 1."

TOP STARS REAFFIRM THEIR COMMITMENT TO CAGE WARRIORS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, July 7, 2014 Seven of Cage Warriors Fighting Championship's top athletes, including undefeated CWFC welterweight world champion Nicolas Dalby have penned brand new deals with the promotion.   (London, United Kingdom | Monday, July 7, 2014) - Seven of Cage Warriors Fighting Championship’s leading athletes have committed to extending their tenures with the promotion. New contracts have been signed by Nicolas Dalby (pictured), Danny Roberts, Mohsen Bahari, Bruno Carvalho, Dave Hill, Alex Enlund and Ronnie Mann, which will tie them exclusively to CWFC for a further five fights after their respective current deals expire. CWFC chiefs are currently in the process of negotiating contracts with both new and existing fighters, as the promotion continues its development and expansion ahead of a busy schedule of events in the second half of 2014 – and beyond. “To have seven fighters of this calibre renewing their commitment to Cage Warriors tells its own story,” said Cage Warriors Fighting Championship CEO Graham Boylan. “It’s a clear indication that we’re a promotion top fighters want to be a part of, and that Cage Warriors is the place to be for fighters who possess the ambition to take a legitimate route to the top of this sport. “We have a proven track record of creating stars and we’ll continue to do that – but on an even grander scale than before. When fighters commit to this promotion, we commit to doing what’s best for them and their careers. “We’ve shown that on countless occasions in recent years and that remains our policy. If you’re a fighter with genuine long-term goals and loyalty to the promotion, we’ll reward you by providing you with the opportunities you deserve and require to achieve those goals.” Undefeated Nicolas Dalby (12-0), the reigning CWFC welterweight world champion, will defend his title shortly following March’s stunning KO of Sergei Churilov in the main event at CWFC 66 in his native Denmark. Fellow welterweight Danny Roberts (11-1), who recently overcame Jimmy Wallhead in the CWFC 68 headliner in Liverpool, has accumulated a 6-0 record under the CWFC banner, giving him the longest current winning streak of any fighter on the roster. Mohsen Bahari (8-1) is another top contender for the 170lbs strap, having picked up his fourth CWFC victory at CWFC 69: Super Saturday in London last month when he edged out three-time UFC veteran Benny Alloway. This year has seen Bruno Carvalho (15-9) drop decision losses to Mohsen Bahari and Jack Mason, but the experienced BJJ black belt remains a major player in the CWFC welterweight division. Following back-to-back wins over Brian Moore and Miguel Haro, Dave Hill (12-3) is moving closer to another shot at the CWFC featherweight crown, as he aims to make amends for his 2012 defeat to Conor McGregor. Alex Enlund (10-2-0-1nc) has also climbed towards the summit of the 145lbs division and, with a trio of consecutive submission wins under his belt, the 27-year-old will be aiming to affirm his title credentials when he returns from injury. In spite of his slip-up against Marcelo Costa at CWFC 68 in May, Ronnie Mann (23-7-1) is still very much in bantamweight title contention and will be keen to pick up his third CWFC victory when he returns to action with a view to contesting the vacant belt in the near future. Graham Boylan added: “The seven fighters who have inked new deals have all been exemplary professionals, both inside and outside the cage, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with them as we move forward together as a promotion.” - ENDS - For the latest Cage Warriors Fighting Championship news and updates, keep track of us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Six more added to Cage Warriors roster

London, England (January 10, 2013) - THE Cage Warriors stable of talent has been boosted further by the addition of six more of the UK and Ireland’s top fighters, who have signed up to compete exclusively under the organisation’s banner.

Paul Redmond, Dave Hill, Tommy Maguire, Davey Grant, Alex Enlund and Chris Scott have all put pen to paper on contracts which will commit them to Cage Warriors over the next 18 months.

“We increased our roster of exclusive fighters significantly in 2012 but we’ll continue to do the same this year. I’m very happy that we’ll have even more fighters of the calibre of these six guys competing for Cage Warriors in the near future,” said CEO Graham Boylan.

“At Cage Warriors we only offer exclusive contracts to fighters who we believe have all the tools to go far in this sport, and that’s certainly the case with these new signings. They’re all extremely talented guys and, just as importantly, they have the right attitude too.”

Redmond (6-3) was one of the major success stories of 2012 on Cage Warriors, joining Conor McGregor and James Brum as one of only three fighters to win three CWFC bouts last year.

The 26-year-old Irishman stopped Yuri Malko and Ryan Roddy in his hometown of Dublin at Cage Warriors 47 and 51 respectively, either side of a career-best victory over Lewis Long at October’s Cage Warriors 49 in Cardiff.

Hill (10-3) will return to Cage Warriors action in 2013 following his shot at the CWFC featherweight title against Conor McGregor at Cage Warriors 47 in Dublin back in June.

Despite suffering a second-round submission loss on that occasion, the Coventry native remains one of the UK’s top 10 featherweights and has recorded notable wins over the likes of Ashleigh Grimshaw and two-time UFC veteran Dave Lee.

Maguire (14-5) will make his CWFC debut this year on the back of a run of five wins in his last six outings.

The younger brother of UFC welterweight John Maguire, Tommy appeared on season nine of The Ultimate Fighter and hasn’t been stopped since a second-round TKO defeat to John Hathaway back in 2007.

Grant (8-1) will be another CWFC debutant this year after a 3-0 streak in 2012 saw him climb into the top 10 in the UK’s bantamweight rankings.

The 26-year-old Englishman had a first-round submission win over the previously unbeaten James Pennington to win the Shock ‘N’ Awe 135lbs title last July.

Enlund (7-1-0-1nc) is another exciting bantamweight prospect from the north-east of England who recently appeared on a CWFC card for the first time in his career.

A frustrating injury lay-off followed his only loss to date against Diego Vital in October 2011, but 25-year-old Enlund made a winning return to action against Ahsan Gilani at December’s Cage Warriors 50 and is looking forward to the bigger tests that lie ahead.

Scott (6-1) is currently on a five-fight win streak and is ranked as one of the UK’s top 20 middleweights. The 30-year-old, who hails from Sunderland, has secured all six of his professional wins by submission.

Several more exclusive Cage Warriors signings will be announced shortly. Keep track of Cage Warriors on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and updates.
