On Saturday, April 1, Cage Warriors hosted its 82nd event from The Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.
In the evening’s main event, the promotion’s featherweight champion, Paddy Pimblett, defended his title against challenger Nad Narimani. The 22-year-old Pimblett had opened his career with 13 wins in his 14 bouts, including nine finishes. He entered the title defense having won nine straight, having topped UFC veteran Julian Erosa in his last outing. Narimani may not have the same hype as his younger foe, but the 29-year-old had won four of his last five heading into the title affair. He most recently submitted Daniel Requeijo in June.
The event aired live at 4 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass.
