Cage Warriors Fighting Championship mainstay
Mick
Stanton now knows the sweet taste of revenge.

For as long as it lasted, the CW 157
headliner was a slugfest starring Stanton (12-7, 9-5 CW) and
James
Webb (9-5-1, 8-5-1 CW) with the middleweight championship on
the line. In their first clash, Webb defeated Stanton by unanimous
decision. This time, the match was far, but much was more intense.
Webb rocked his adversary right out of the gate with powerful
strikes, keeping Stanton guessing until dropping him with a
powerful body shot. Stanton recovered quickly enough and fired back
with a vengeance. Thanks to a series of quick fists and a
well-timed uppercut, Stanton rebounded and dropped Webb, and he
immediately followed up with ground-and-pound. With Webb no longer
intelligently defending himself, “The Huyton Hammer” lived up to
his nickname and hammered the nail, procuring the stoppage at 4:21
of Round 1.

In the co-main event, former featherweight champion Jordan
Vucenic made promotional newcomer Brice
Picaud feel quite unwelcome as he tapped him with a rear-naked
choke. Vucenic (11-2, 7-1 CW) dictated the pace of the fight,
landing effectively on the feet and chaining together successful
takedowns to move the action to the floor when he needed. On the
mat, Vucenic displayed an edge over Picaud (10-8, 1 NC; 0-1 CW), as
the Frenchman held on to defend himself from the oncoming offense.
After a dominant first round, Vucenic took Picaud down early in the
second period and quickly secured his opponent’s back. Once in the
favorable position, Vucenic wrapped up a tight rear-naked choke.
Picaud resisted for as long as he could, but ultimately surrendered
at 1:38. Vucenic has won nine of his latest 10 outings.
