Cage Warriors Fighting Championship caps off a busy weekend of
back-to-back events with Cage
Warriors 136, which will see the middleweight title up for
grabs.
The main event will see Djati Melan
defend his 185-pound strap against Christian
Leroy Duncan. While both headliners made championship weight,
two undercard fighters did not as both Luke Riley
and Manny Akpan
came in heavy for their respective bouts. Both men have been fined
percentages of their respective purses, and the matches will
otherwise continue as scheduled.
Melan has been perfect in his professional mixed martial arts
career, amassing eight wins without a single defeat. He most
recently claimed the title after winning a unanimous decision over
Matthew
Bonner. His first defense comes against Duncan, a fellow
unbeaten fighter at 5-0 who has won all five under the Cage
Warriors banner. The champion stepped on the scale at 183.5 pounds,
while the challenger weighed 184 pounds to make the headliner
official.
Cage Warriors 136 will air live on UFC Fight Pass on Saturday, with
the main card starting at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, and prelims kicking
off at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.
