Cage Warriors 157 Weigh-in Results: Title Fight Set; 1 Fighter Heavy

Cage Warriors Fighting Championship returns to London with a 15-fight card.

The Cage Warriors middleweight championship will be on the line in the CW 157 main event. Reigning titleholder Mick Stanton will put his belt on the line against challenger James Webb in a highly anticipated rematch. Both men made weight, as did the rest of the card with the exception of Tom Mearns. The would-be featherweight came in 4.4 pounds heavy at 150.4 pounds for his fight against Bailey Gilbert and has been fined 50 percent of his purse.

Stanton (11-7) claimed the title in his last fight, a unanimous decision win over Will Currie. The Liverpool native has won five of his last six fights, with the lone defeat coming to Macin Wojcik via submission. He’ll look to keep his momentum alive and retain the belt. “The Huyton Hammer” stepped on the scale at 184.7 pounds.

Meanwhile, Webb (9-4-1) has only won once in his last three outings. The 33-year-old former champion snapped a two-fight skid that saw him finished by Leon Aliu and Matthew Bonner by winning a decision over Paddy McCorry. He’ll look to reclaim the belt he lost in 2019 and look to go 2-0 against Stanton, who he defeated via decision in 2020. Webb officially weighed 184.6 pounds.

Cage Warriors 157 will air live on UFC Fight Pass. Prelims begin at 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT, while the main card starts at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.
