On Saturday, Nov. 22, Cage Warriors Fighting Championship hosted Cage Warriors 197, live from the BEC Arena in Manchester, England. The main event was for the Cage Warriors interim lightweight title with Omar Tugarev vs. Omiel Brown. In the co-main, popular Scottish fighter Chris Bungard met Simone Patrizi.
In the main event Brown got the job done. The fight was close to begin with by Brown improved down the stretch and just seemed to want it more (that’s despite Tugarev’s corner doing their best to fire up their man between rounds).
In the co-main Bungard earned a split decision win thanks to a late flurry and a deep submission attempt.
Also on the decision-heavy card, Jack ‘The Ripper’ Humphries scored his second anaconda choke win in a row, this time over Joab Souza. Humphries is now 5-0 with all finishes (four submissions).
Shay Ingram also stayed undefeated this night, taking out Wellington Lopes with ground and pound.
