Saturday saw U.K. promotion Cage Warriors return to action, with two title fights stacked atop the Cage Warriors 146 card.
In the main event, Christian Leroy Duncan was set to make the first defense of his middleweight title against Bulgarian Marian Dimitrov. The undefeated Brit Duncan had captured the belt care of a flying knee finish last time out, and was looking for more magic Saturday night in Manchester.
Dimitrov was the winner of ten straight, and was undefeated in MMA since back-to-back losses in 2014, at the start of his professional career.
Co-main event action at Cage Warriors 146 had prospect Mateusz Figlak up against veteran Jim Wallhead for an interim welterweight title.
