The British based Cage Warriors Fighting Championship promotion returned to the airwaves Saturday with it’s Cage Warriors 55: Pendred vs. Mills event.
The event went down at The Helix in Dublin, Ireland with two title matches scheduled to appear on the card. The main card aired on television in a few countries while portions of the prelim card streamed live on Facebook.
Unfortunately the main event, which was to see welterweight champ Cathal Pendred defend his title against former UFC fighter Che Mills, was changed to a three round non-title bout after Mills failed to make weight. The champ would go on to win by third round TKO stoppage.
The crowning of the inaugural flyweight champ took place as part of the co-main event as Irish fighter Neil Seery went on to submit opponent Mikael Silander with a third round armbar to capture the 125-lbs title.
