Cage Warriors' return to Newcastle was capped off by two impressive performances that kept the gold in the north of England.
In the main event, Harry Hardwick made sure that he and his brother George continue to stay on top at both featherweight and lightweight.
"Houdini" produced arguably his biggest win to date by dominating the very dangerous Keweny Lopes before stopping him in the fourth round with his relentless striking assault.
In the co-main event, Kennedy Freeman also brought more success to her family name after Mafalda Carmona's corner waved the fight off at the end of the fourth to crown Freeman the bantamweight champion.
Three of the most exciting names in Cage Warriors produced consecutive statement finishes on the main card.
Justin Burlinson made his long awaited return by submitting Theodor Berggren, James Power earned his biggest win to date by stopping Dumitru Girlean in the second round and Sean Clancy Jr remained undefeated by finishing Andrey Augusto in the third.
