UFC vet Burnell defends Cage Warriors belt in second title fight on London show

A second title fight has been added to Cage Warriors’ return to London as current featherweight champion, Mads Burnell (12-3), takes on Englishman, Steve Aimable (13-5). The show takes place on Friday November 22nd from the Indigo at the O2 which is a venue that has showcased many of the promotion’s biggest stars over the years.

Since losing his place on the UFC roster last year following a 1-2 run in the world’s biggest MMA organization, Burnell has won his first three fights in Cage Warriors all by submission. He claimed the featherweight title in his last outing at the Night of Champions event when he executed his second straight Japanese Necktie against then-champion, Dean Trueman.
