United Kingdom-based promotion Cage Warriors has helped produce plenty of talent that have blossomed in the UFC and Bellator over the years, and Friday night they were back in action with Cage Warriors 160 in Manchester, England.
The Manchester card’s main event would see featherweight standouts Tobias Harila and James Hendin throw down, with both fighters looking to work their way to (and in the case of Hendin, back to) title shots in the 145lb division. Hendin had come up short against Jordan Vucenic last year in a bid for gold, while Harila’s only recent loss was to current UFC star William Gomis.
Cage Warriors 160 goes down on Friday, September 29, 2023 at the BEC Arena in Manchester, England. The full card streams on live via UFC Fight Pass, with the first preliminary bout getting underway around 2PM ET. Full results from the event can be found below.
