Cage Warriors announces new Paddy Pimblett multi-fight deal, pair of summer events

Cage Warriors has its summer planned out, and Paddy Pimblett is a big part of it.

Cage Warriors today announced a pair of events that will take place in England – Cage Warriors 95 on July 21 at Indigo at The O2 in London and Cage Warriors 96 on Sept. 1 at Echo Arena in Liverpool.

“London and Liverpool have turned into two seriously strong pillars for MMA in Europe,” Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan said in a press release. “There’s some incredible talent coming out of both cities, and our events there get better every time. We’re always looking to do bigger things and take greater steps to give fans what they want – the best Cage Warriors experience we can possibly offer. These next two shows will do exactly that.”

How does Pimblett factor in? The standout British prospect from Liverpool is set to headline Cage Warriors 96 after signing a multi-fight contract to remain with the promotion.

There was some expectation that the former featherweight champion would be lured by the UFC to take part in the industry leader’s first event in Liverpool in May, but Pimblett shot down that idea earlier this week on “The MMA Hour.”

“I’m not that arsed to be fair, about the UFC in Liverpool. I’ve headlined shows there twice and I just fought there the other week. It’s great for UK MMA and great for Liverpool, but the show is for Darren (Till). Darren can have his show, I’m good. I’ll have my own one in September.”

The 23-year-old Pimblett (14-2), winner of 10 of his last 11, is coming off an impressive flying-triangle submission win over Alexis Savvidis last month at Cage Warriors 90.
