Cage Warriors’ planned title fight double-header this weekend has taken a hit ahead of fight night in London after one of the bouts was forced off the card.

The fight card for the Indigo at the O2 was supposed to feature two championship bouts at the top of the card, but the flyweight title fight between champion Sam Creasey and Dylan Hazan has been removed from the card following the official weigh-ins.

Thursday’s weigh-in session ahead of Cage Warriors 141 saw 25 of the 26 fighters in attendance make weight in the session. But, crucially, title challenger Hazan came in two and a half pounds over the 125-pound championship limit.

It meant that Hazan was ineligible to contest the title against Creasey, who made weight successfully – and the bout itself was scrapped from the card when Creasey opted not to face Hazan in a catchweight non-title bout.

The night’s other title fight remains intact, meanwhile, with Kyle Driscoll and George Hardwick both coming in under the 155-pound lightweight title limit their fight for the vacant title.

The card also suffered two cancellations further down the bout sheet, with Araik Margarian and Kevin Simon Cesari both failing to clear their mandatory pre-fight medicals. Their bouts against Nathan Fletcher and Luke Riley respectively were both cancelled as a result.

The new co-main event will feature the return of UK MMA legend Jimmy Wallhead, who takes on Poland’s Daniel Skibinski in a welterweight showcase.

A Bantamweight banger has been added to Cage Warriors return to the English capital with Weslley Maia set to meet Alexander Loof on November 15th. The pair of hard hitters will lock horns on at Cage Warriors 180, on a card that is set to see two title fights with Bantamweight king Liam Gittins facing PrizeFighter winner Shirzad Qadrian and Andy Clamp hoping to make the first defence of his Light Heavyweight strap in a contest against former Middleweight champion James Webb. Both Maia and Loof will be sorely disappointed in the fact they are not facing Gittins, with both men having competed in the Bantamweight PrizeFighter tournament earlier this year. After becoming the first man to defeat Qadrian, last year, Maia was drawn against ‘The Lion’ in the opening round of the tournament. As the two met for the second time, it was Qadrian who would control the contest and grinded out a unanimous decision win. This then led to ‘The Lion’ facing Loof in the final. Heading into the tournament, it was widely believed that the Swedishman would walk away as the PrizeFighter winner but Qadrian had other ideas. After a close three rounds, two of the judges scored the contest in favour of Qadrian and Loof was handed only the second loss of his career. Prior to the tournament, Loof had spent most of his professional career on FCR. He decided to make the move to Bantamweight following his 2023 Cage Warriors Fight Of The Year against Luke Riley. Although he lost, Loof had fans desperate to see him back in the yellow gloves. In contrast, Maia has spent a large majority of his career under the Cage Warriors banner. Competing seven times, he holds a promotional record of 3-4. Arguably his biggest win to date came away from the Cage Warriors cage, when he handed top Manchester prospect Lewis McGrillen his first defeat in a showcase bout at the 2023 PFL European championship finals. Prior to the Cage Warriors 180 bout being announced, the promotion revealed both men had penned new multi-fight deals with the promotion.
