On Friday, June 19, Cage Warriors Fighting Championship hosted Cage Warriors 206, live from BEC Arena in Manchester, England. And it was a card to remember, which just one fight going the distance.
In the main event Ireland’s Andreeas Binder, who was coming off a TKO win at Cage Warriors 200, won his seventh fight in a row and improved his record to 12-2 with a second round TKO over Turkiye’s Sado Ucar. Binder, who was eliminated early on The Ultimate Fighter 33 last year, is making a strong case for another invite from the UFC.
In the co-main Binder’s countryman Alexander O’Sullivan was starched by Sweden’s Alexander Lööf. Lööf then donned a flower crown in a little nod to the horror film Midsommer.
Also on the card Solomon Simon looked very good in taking apart the experienced Erick Maia. He won by third round TKO to improve his record to 8-1. Albania’s Stiven Shehu also impressed, with a head kick and follow up punches to finish Spain’s Kevin Robledo.
