CW 177 & 178 Manchester: Final Card & Broadcast Times

It’s fight week in Manchester! Cage Warriors – Europe’s Leading MMA Organisation – is back in Manny with a double header of fight nights at the BEC Arena from the 20th to the 21st of September!

Tickets for CW 178: Manchester are available here!

On Friday night, viewers will once again be treated to the studio setting of Unplugged, as an audience of specially invited guests enters the UK’s equivalent of the Apex for an up-close, intimate night of action.

Headlining is hard-hitting American wrestler Chasen Blair, who is on track for a career-best three-fight winning streak. He meets Romanian newcomer Florin Pîrtea over three, five-minute rounds.

Other highlights on Friday’s bill include a number of Cage Warriors Academy standouts now making their ways in the professional ranks.

Striking sensation Rhi Rhi Hudson meets Australia’s Alish Smith, Pro/Am CWA champion Ollie Sarwa makes his professional Cage Warriors debut against Italian veteran Percy Herrera and in preliminary action, Angus Hewett faces the hard-hitting Michael Tchamou.

On Saturday night, the BEC throws its doors open to the general public for CW 178 and the return of stand-up standout Luke Riley. The undefeated Next Generation man, who has competed in the Famous Yellow Gloves for the entirety of his professional career, will be looking to achieve double-digit wins. He faces Brazil’s Alexandre Junior.

Also in action, undefeated Welsh sensation Ieuan Davies faces his toughest test to date, in the form of rugged Brazilian Amaury Junior, who is out in search of a second consecutive CW win.

Meanwhile, former champion Dean Trueman returns to face local favourite Gav Hughes, and in a highly anticipated clash of amateur standouts, Marc-Philippe Ngatchou meets Shay Ingram.
