After a 3 year absence, Cage Warriors returned to the Welsh capital with a card for the ages.

A fired up Cardiff crowd were treated to a stacked night of fights which concluded with Darren Stewart defeating Matthew Bonner in a 15-minute middleweight showdown.

I was fortunate enough to be in attendance at The Vale Sports Arena and catch up with a handful of the victors.

Reece McEwan took one step closer to gold at Cage Warriors 156 on Saturday night, despite the pressures of top contender Nathan Fletcher at ringside

I caught up with the flying Scotsman after his victory in Wales. We discussed:

After the disappointment of losing her first professional bout against Jasmine Favero in Ebbw Vale at Cage Warriors 142, Stephanie Evans bounced back in style by securing a first round submission victory over Małgorzata Tkocz.
