worldwide live streaming of the Cage Warriors 40 show. That event comprised of

Warriors Fighting Championship and a great opportunity for fighters worldwide to
get the exposure they deserve as professional athletes. The fighters put so much
time and effort into this sport they deserve this exposure. I’m very excited for
them”.

be able to offer Cage Warriors the platform and coverage that matches with their
ambitions to consolidate and grow as Britain’s number 1 MMA championship. By
