Coronavirus travel restrictions force opponent change on Cage Warrior’s Paddy Pimblett

Paddy Pimblett’s opponent for Cage Warriors 113 has been changed once again.

The European MMA star will now face Irish lightweight, Decky Dalton—the fourth different opponent booked to fight the ‘Baddy’ in the past four months. Due to a combination of weight trouble, injuries, and now COVID-19, none of those bookings have ended up with both fighters in the cage on fight night.

Italian Davide Martinez was scheduled to compete against the 25-year-old next weekend but can no longer make the trip to England, due to travel restrictions in place to and from Italy because of the virus.
