John Phillips vs. Dusko Todorovic Added To Cage Warriors 113
Previously scheduled to fight at UFC London, John Phillips and Dusko Todorovic will now meet at Cage Warriors 113 which takes place behind closed doors in London on Friday night.
Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan told MMAJunkie yesterday he was working to put on some UFC London fights after the card was relocated to the Untied States, he said.
“We have been trying to save a couple of the UFC London fights and have them compete at the show as contracted UFC fights on Cage Warriors,” Boylan said. “I’m just trying to help the fighters not miss out on competing. It may or may not happen, as it’s a fast-moving situation and trying to pull all the moving parts together is super tricky.”
One day later and middleweights John Philips and Dusko Todorovic have agreed to go ahead with their fight under a different promotional banner according the Cage Warriors boss.
This morning he announced via Twitter that the upcoming event would be closed to the public before telling fans about the good news, he said.
Update: 1 @CageWarriors WILL be behind closed doors. The ticketing team & office people will be working out how refunds can be claimed that info will follow.”
Update: 2. UFC bout 1: John Philips v Dusko Todorovic has been confirmed to take place @CageWarriors #cw113 Friday Night. The event will be broadcasted LIVE on @UFCFightPass as well as TV Networks around the World.
