7/12 Cage Warriors - Enter the Rough House 7 - RESULTS

I have said this before... But it wont be a regular thing that I update these results, but this event had some very good fights on it!

Simeon Thoresen showed why DREAM has been looking to sign him. Will we see him already in DREAM 6? A 51 seconds submission is very impressive and should turn some heads!

Paul Daley is back where he left off before his retirement, and Paul McVeigh defended his title. I am sure this was a very good night of fighting!

Cage Warriors Today!

There has been like nothing happeing in Japan today... It might be because my mind has been totally focused on an event happening in Nottingham (that's not in Japan).

I have given it some attention here and here, and thought it would get it out of my system... But truth is I am really excited about this event! My Paul McVeigh interview is still the only I have done, and he went out of his way to do it! He is defending his Cage Warriors title today. Last year, Dan Hardy was over in Japan and he put on a great show (he has of course gone on to sight with UFC). Cage Warriors is producing some great talent!

Then Simeon Thoresen is on the card, I think he is a great prospect and someone who has a great future.

Well, enough with the justifications... I am very excited about this event, so I am giving it the full treatment.

Paul “Semtex” Daley 17-6-2 vs. 6-0-0 Bojan "Zelva" Kosednar

Cage Warriors - Weigh-in and another DREAM signing?

I was reading the article with weigh-in pictures and previews on the Cage Warriors event happening today (my time).

As you might know, I am very excited about this event. It has some great talent and should be an awesome event. If you are in the UK, this is the event you should go to!

Naturally, I follow fellow Norwegians closely and noticed that it looks like Simeon Thoresen is heading for Japan and DREAM. This should be an AWESOME signing for DREAM and I can't wait to see him fight here!
