Cage Warriors 57 slated for July 20 in Liverpool

For the first time in more than seven years, Cage Warriors is headed to Liverpool, officials today announced.

Cage Warriors 57 will take place July 20 at the 12,000-seat Echo Arena in the English city, which hasn’t hosted a show since “Cage Warriors 21: Enter the Wolfslair” back in 2006.

No fights currently have been announced for the show, which will feature a main card on MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and prelims on Facebook. However, vets such as Chris Fishgold and Danny Roberts are targeted options.

“Over the last couple of years, we’ve been inundated with messages from fans looking for Cage Warriors to come to Liverpool,” Cage Warriors CEO Graham Boylan stated. “We’re delighted to be doing so on July 20, and it’s a privilege to be going to a fantastic venue like the Echo Arena.

“There’s a massive appetite for MMA in Liverpool, and we’ll be bringing something special there this summer. Cage Warriors 57 will be a stacked card and as well as having top fighters from all over the world on the bill. We’ll also have some of Liverpool’s best, like Chris Fishgold and Danny Roberts.”

Cage Warriors 57 will be the organization’s fifth event to take place in the U.K./Ireland in 2013.
