Following their successful triple-header of behind-closed-doors events in Manchester in September, U.K. promotion Cage Warriors is looking to repeat the trick as they head back home to London.
Cage Warriors 117, 118 and 119 will take place on Dec. 10, 11 and 12 at the iconic York Hall venue in London, a storied boxing venue in the English capital. The events will stream live on UFC Fight Pass.
The second “Trilogy” series was confirmed Thursday via a press release from the promotion, following a tweet from Cage Warriors president Graham Boylan, who stated that “14 of the 30 fights are already confirmed.”
“Reaction to the first ‘Trilogy’ series was off the charts, so we knew we had to do it again,” said Boylan, via press release.
“We have guys who pulled off career-best performances on the first series wanting to fight again, plus some big new signings almost ready to announce.
“The plan is to make this bigger and better than before.”
The first “Trilogy” series took place at Manchester’s BEC Arena on Sept. 24, 25 and 26, with each event headlined by a title fight. Welsh lightweight champion Mason Jones become a two-division champion as he captured the vacant welterweight title, while England’s Luke Shanks dethroned France’s Samir Faiddine to win the promotion’s flyweight title. England’s bantamweight champion Jack Cartwright cemented his status with his eighth first-round finish in nine fights as he submitted Gerardo Fanny to retain his 135-pound title.
