All athletes hit their mark at Cage Warriors 173 weigh ins, even with a last minute change to the card.
The promotion return stateside after a hugely successful show in Newcastle, which saw Harry Hardwick crowned the new Cage Warriors Featherweight champion, with another stacked card for their beloved San Diego crowd.
In the main event main event, Bruno Souza will pull on the yellow gloves for the first time and will look to instantly make an impact as he takes on former UFC title contender and MMA legend Wilson Reis.
Roberto Hernandez returns to fold and moves back to Featherweight following his failed title challenge against Bantamweight champion Liam Gittins. Much like Reis, Hernandez is extremely well known to the Cage Warriors crowd and will also be welcoming a new face to the promotion in the shape of Javier ‘El Mariachi’ Garcia.
Although failing to make weight, Magomed Bayduev's bout against James settle will still go ahead, providing Bayduev's weighs no more than 150lbs when he has a weight check on fight day. Even if successful, he will still be fined a percentage of his purse.
The last minute change to the card will see Chris Owen step in to face Ilias Faquiri in a catchweight contest, following Chace Eskam not being cleared by the California State Athletic Commission and therefore pulled from the contest.
