A dual-card weekend from Cage Warriors Fighting Championship reaches its crescendo with Cage Warriors 168 on Saturday at the BEC Arena in Manchester, England. In the immediate wake of Cage Warriors 167, the arena will ignite with a packed 12-fight card that promises to deliver an unforgettable night of mixed martial arts action.
Front and center on the bill is a clash for the vacant light heavyweight title, pitting the surging Matthew Byfield against the formidable Andrew Clamp. Byfield, a mainstay of the Cage Warriors lineup, is on a three-fight finish streak and returns to action almost a year after his most recent bout. Meanwhile, Clamp has gone 1-1 in the promotion, notching a submission victory over Ghassan Abdenabi after a technical knockout loss to Chuck Campbell. Just before the marquee attraction, featherweight contenders Luke Riley and John de Jesus are set to go to war in the co-main event.
The event streams to UFC Fight Pass. The prelims are scheduled to commence at 2:30 p.m. ET/ 11:30 a.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT. A closer look at the particulars:
