On Saturday, Mar. 14, Cage Warriors Fighting Championship hosted Cage Warriors 202, live from BEC Arena in Manchester, England.
In the main event Omiel Brown TKO’d Samuel Silva to unify the Cage Warriors lightweight title. Brown came into this one as the interim champion, having won that version of the belt with a decision over Omar Tugarev in November. Silva had been champ since he beat George Hardwick last March.
Brown’s big win took his pro record to 13-3. His entire career has been fought with the yellow Cage Warriors gloves on.
In the co-main Nathan Fletcher won in his return bout, TKOing Thyago Silva after just under a minute and a half. Fletcher had been with the UFC last year, but was released after a first round stoppage loss to Rinya Nakamura.
Also on the card Welsh prospect Ieuan Davies stayed undefeated with a decision over Michael Pagani. Paddy Pimblett teammate George Staines kept his undefeated record intact, too. He earned a decision over Marcelo Marques.
