Jai Herbert was once removed from a BAMMA card due to him not selling enough tickets for a fight, but now the English prospect has cemented himself as one of the best lightweights in Europe by claiming the vacant Cage Warriors title at Saturday’s Night of Champions event.
There were many who were sure that fellow highly touted prospect and opponent Jack Grant could be receiving a call from the UFC if he had defeated Herbert in their co-main event clash. Yet, after overcoming Grant’s grappling advances in the opening round, Herbert put on a striking clinic before finishing his countryman in the third round.
