Cage Warriors is gearing up for a big return to Italy and as you'd expect, it's bringing some of the most exciting fighters from this region with it.

CW 179 will take place in Rome's PalaPellicone and the card, which goes down on November 2, has got four Italian fighters on the bill already.

Simone Patrizi looks to earn back-to-back wins in the yellow gloves when he returns for the second time this year to face Greece's Konstantinos Ntelis.

At just 23 years old, Ntelis will be looking to bounce back from a debut loss in Cage Warriors when he went up against Jan Quaeyhaegens in April.

Two fighters that both represent the Italian flag are set to throw down in the welterweight division as the undefeated Khadim Dia takes on the experienced Leon Aliu.

Dia has won three in a row when competing under the CW banner and his opponent is no stranger to the promotion either, having faced the likes of Will Currie, Darren Stewart and James Webb at middleweight.

Sergio Gavinelli is looking to bounce back from his loss last time out to Craig Edwards as the MMA Fight Academy prospect meets Spain's Manuel Del Valle.

Del Valle earned a big win last out over Mariusz Mikołajewski and will now look to keep this momentum going by defeating the Italian on his home soil.

Finally, Olli Santalahti will be trying to get himself back in the win column in enemy territory when he takes on his second consecutive Italian fighter.

After being stopped by Stefano Paternò in his last outing, he will try to correct course against Giacomo Michelis who has earned back-to-back wins in the promotion.

With several other big names like Paternò, Michael Pagani, Michele Martignoni and Alessandro Giordano potentially still yet to be announced for the card, it could be the biggest night that the promotion has held in Italy to date.
