Liverpool’s own Cage Warriors champion Chris Fishgold is set for action at the Echo Arena

One of the fastest-growing sports in the world will take centre stage at Echo Arena Liverpool for Cage Warriors 88 on 28 October 2017

The North West has risen to become a real hotbed of mixed martial arts fighting talent, and the event will showcase some of the very best Liverpudlian combat sports athletes, with two local heroes looking to finish the night holding Cage Warriors world titles.

Liverpool’s very own Cage Warriors lightweight world champion Chris Fishgold is set for action in the night’s main event as he attempts to win the title outright with his third straight title defence. But he faces a tough task against dangerous challenger Norwegian Alexander ‘Bad Romance’ Jacobsen, who has finished seven of his eight victories inside the distance.
