On Friday, Nov. 21, Cage Warriors Fighting Championship hosted Cage Warriors 197, live from the BEC Arena in Manchester, England. The main event was supposed to be Anthony Orozco vs. Evaldo Santos, but that fell through after Santos was not medically cleared.
Instead, Aiden Lee met Damon Wilson in the main event. And Lee, who is coached by former UFC fighter Tom Breese, got the win. He submitted Wilson in the third round.
In the co-main event Giacomo Michelis improved his record to 9-1 with a unanimous decision over Michael Dubois. Also on this card we saw a spinning backfist KO delivered by Marc-Philippe Ngatchou over Yusuf Nazokatov.
