Cage Warriors Fighting Championship (CW) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion based in London, England, founded in 2001 with its first event in 2002. It’s known as Europe’s longest-running and one of its most influential MMA organizations, having staged over 150 events across 14 countries and serving as a proving ground for rising fighters. Many athletes who competed in Cage Warriors — including big names like Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping, Paddy Pimblett and Joanna Jędrzejczyk — have gone on to major global stages like the UFC, cementing CW’s reputation as a key development platform.
Under leaders like Graham Boylan, Cage Warriors expanded beyond the UK into Europe and beyond, securing broadcast distribution on UFC Fight Pass and investing in future talent through initiatives like the Cage Warriors Academy network. The promotion continues to host regular events and title fights, combining regional MMA competition with global visibility and helping launch fighters’ professional careers.
