#40 The Yellow Gloves 2024 End of Year Awards!
31 déc. 2024
00:31:23
Happy New Year! In this episode, we recap an incredible 2024 for Cage Warriors and crown a:
Fighter of the Year Finish of the Year Fight of the Year Performance of the Year Newcomer of the Year
Let me know your thoughts and picks for these categories!
Cage Warriors closed out 2024 in a beautifully violent and patented fashion with all 9 fights on the night ending via knockout or submission.
Cage Warriors veteran Damon Wilson headlined a card for the first time and rewarded the faith placed in him by scoring a Finish of the Year contender over his opponent.
Anthony Orozco improved to 5-0 and yet again reminded the MMA world why he's one of the top Welterweight prospects.
Bobby Winther ran through his opponent on the ground to return to the win column.
Elsewhere on the card, we saw a tonne of Cage Warriors debutants win in big fashion. Keep an eye on Joshua Simpson who, with only 1 pro fight under his belt, I've tipped to have a great career in MMA.
Cage Warriors 181 delivered one of the very best cards of the year.
Headlined by Harry Hardwick's career-best KO win over Keweny Lopes and Kennedy Freeman's gold-clinching beatdown of Mafalda Carmona, we were treated to an unforgettable night. UFC calling?
Justin Burlinson returned to the yellow gloves and dealt an absolute beatdown of the highest order to his opponent, meanwhile James Power provided yet another violent finish to add to his portfolio.
Elsewhere on the card, mega prospect Sean Clancy Jr. improved to 6-0 with a huge 3rd round finish of his opponent.
The prelims delivered a heap of excitement but none more poignant than Boro prospect Leon Armes scoring his 3rd pro win with a thumping right hand.
This and SO MUCH MORE on the latest episode of the pod! Tap in!
Despite losing a bunch of exciting fights, and the main event, Cage Warriors 180 delivered a slate of exciting fights, underdog wins, comeback victories and a new champion was crowned.
James Webb joined the rare ranks of two-weight Cage Warriors champions with his 3rd round TKO of Andy Clamp. While in the co-main event, Nik Bagley made quick work of Jordy Bakkes to score his 5th successive rear-naked choke finish.
In the "People's Main Event", Weslley Maia handily dominated and blitzed Alexander Loof in what was likely a title eliminator. The idea of a trilogy fight with Qadrian, for gold, is a mouth-watering prospect.
Paddy McCorry returned to the Yellow Gloves with a 45 second KO and staked a claim to challenge for Middleweight gold in 2025.
Giovanni Fernandez and Richard Kallos, the two biggest underdogs on the card, scored massive highlight reel finishes over their respective opponents.
Elsewhere on the card, GB Top Team prospects Jawany Scott and Callum Haughian scored big wins.
All of this and SO MUCH MORE on the latest episode of the podcast. TUNE IN!
In this episode, I unpack all things Cage Warriors 179 which took place in Rome.
In the headliner, Stefano Paterno scored a walk-off KO to register his 3rd successive finish in 2024.
While in the co-main event slot, Konstantinos Ntelis produced one of the KOs of the year.
Elsewhere on the card, mega prospects Solomon Simon and Manuel Del Valle finished their opponents with submissions... meanwhile Alessandro Giordano and Emanuele Zaccaria went to war in the Fight of the Night.
In the latest episode, I unpack and analyse all things Cage Warriors 176.
Omiel Brown won the Welterweight Prizefighter one-night tournament, defeating two opponents on his way to the $50k reward and a title shot.
George Hardwick returned to Cage Warriors to successfully defend his belt for the third time. He put on a striking clinic to remind the masses of just how good he is.
While Chris Bungard was unable to get his hand raised, Reece McEwan snapped his losing skid with a terrific 3rd round submission.
Elsewhere on the card, Scottish mega prospect Sean Clancy Jr added yet another quick finish to his record, improving to 5-0.
Michael Blair had one of the comebacks of the year, almost blowing the roof off the Braehead arena on his way to a second successive Cage Warriors win.
Damon Donald and Kallum Parker put on a Fight of the Year contender after a brutal back-and-forth slugfest; Donald got his hand raised to improve to 3-0.
In the latest episode of the podcast, I unpack a JAM-PACKED Cage Warriors 175 card.
A brutal night of fights that saw 13 finishes, multiple finish of the year contenders, the consensus Fight of the Year thus far, big prospects getting their hands raised and also big prospects getting stopped in their tracks.
Dario Bellandi successfully defended his Middleweight belt while Mason Jones and Michael Pagani went hammer & tongs for 15 minutes.
Stefano Paterno and Naglias Kanisauskas scored beautiful one-hitter quitter KOs in their outings.
We saw some incredible submissions from Ieuan Davies and George Smith.
Elsewhere on the card, the Flyweights all put on a show with excellent high-paced contests.
In the latest episode of the pod, I sit down to chat about all things Cage Warriors 174.

Jordan Vucenic scored yet another quick submission to continue pounding away at the UFC's door.
Jawany Scott and Ger Harris turned out one of the best fights of the year, setting an insane grappling pace for 15 minutes straight.
All-Italian scrap between Alessandro Giordano and Michele Martignoni also delivered BIG TIME with Giordano scoring a late 3rd submission over the former Bantamweight champion.
Elsewhere on the card, top prospects Milad Ahady, Nik Bagley, Jimmy Quinn, Gheorge Grozav, Matthew Elliott, Rhi-Rhi Hudson and Eimear Darcy scored impressive wins.
We witnessed a few Finish of the Year contenders, in particular Francesco Mazzeo's one-hitter quitter.
In this episode, I break down and analyse the absolute madness that went down at Cage Warriors 172 in Newcastle.
Harry Hardwick turned in a career-best performance with his destruction of Orlando Wilson Prins, winning the featherweight belt along the way.
James Power displayed a ridiculous chin and heart to come back and put a beating on Daniel Kolasinski on his way to a 2nd round KO.
Hometown favourite Kennedy Freeman scored yet another brutal walk-off KO to improve to 5-0 and make a strong case for Cage Warriors to dust the cobwebs for the women's Bantamweight belt.
Leon Hill returned to winning ways, Chasen Blair threw up one of the slickest armbars you'll see all year and Aiden Lee submitted his opponent after 6 years away from Cage Warriors.
Elsehwere in the prelims, mega prospect Jack Humphries won in his professional debut via 1st round finish.
12 fights, 11 finishes. 7 1st round finishes. Frontrunner for card of the year!
#29 Girlean & Else Stun Glasgow While Leblond Delivers More Violence
22 avr. 2024
00:58:53
Cage Warriors returned to Scotland after 11 years away and put on a memorable show. Scottish fighters provided a mixed bag of results as super talent Dumitru Girlean silenced the crowd with a submission win over Chris Bungard.
In the co-main event, UFC veteran Cameron Else edged past Reece McEwan on the scorecards.
But it wasn't all doom & gloom for the Scots as mega prospect Sean Clancy Jr. won in emphatic fashion while Keir Harvie and Paull McBain dazzled.
Podcast favourites Nicolas Leblond and Jan Quaeyhaegens won in typical violent fashion which put a big ol' smile on my face.
#28 Jimbo Slices & Dices His Way to Gold, While Paul Hughes Bows Out In Fashion
08 avr. 2024
00:49:18
In the latest episode of the pod, I break down all of the fights that took place on Cage Warriors 170 in Dublin.
Team Ryano stalwart James Sheehan (aka Jimbo Slice) outlasted and outgunned a very game opponent in Daniel Konrad to win Cage Warriors Welterweight gold.
Paul Hughes served his final fight in Cage Warriors, winning via spectacular first-round finish. Will the UFC or PFLlator come knocking?
Elsewhere on the card, mega prospects Ger Harris and Solomon Simon scored big submission wins.
Eimar Darcy, Ciaran Brady and Jamie Abbott-Bissett made their pro debuts in stunning fashion, all winning via finish.
A special mention to Rory Evans, podcast favourite, who upset the bookmakers & silenced the Dublin crowd with his tremendous win over Taka Mhandu.
All of this and SO much more on the latest episode of the card.
In this episode of the pod, I break down every single fight on Cage Warriors 169.
Jordan Vucenic extended his win streak and inched a step closer to the UFC with a big submission win over Simone D'Anna.
In the battle of the mega prospects, Lone'er Kavanagh extended his unbeaten streak with a vicious decision win over Shawn Da Silva.
Will Currie staked his claim for the next shot at Middleweight gold as he forced his opponent to quit in between rounds.
Elsewhere on the card, Mitchell Goode scored the first ever buggy choke in Cage Warriors history and Mariusz Mikolajewski laid his opponent out to pasture with a perfectly timed flying knee.
And if you want to watch *the* round of the year so far, treat yourself to Amir Malekpour and Tom Creasey's 3rd round.
Prospects Tommy Brunning, Shaun Fraser, Jimmy Quinn & Jawany Scott also added wins to their respective records.
In this bumper episode of the pod, I break down Cage Warriors 167 and Cage Warriors 168. Both cards took place across a two-day period, with 24 fights spread across.
Most notably, Andy Clamp secured the Light Heavyweight title as an underdog after his dominant display against Matty Byfield.
Liam Gittins defended his Bantamweight belt with a demolition of prospect Roberto Hernandez.
Luke Riley did what he does best and put on another striking clinic to go 9-0 and cement himself as a legitimate title hopeful.
Former 170lbs champion Stefano Paterno returned to the Yellow Gloves after 6 years away to secure a 1st-round submission win and remind everyone just how good he is.
Elsewhere on both nights, mega prospects Anthony Orozco, Teddy Stringer, James Power, Omiel Brown & Shirzad Qadrian managed to notch up wins.
I also wax lyrical about up-and-comer Francis Breen.
On this episode of the Yellow Gloves Podcast, I break down the entire Cage Warriors 164 in Newcastle.
We saw Liam Gittins and Dario Bellandi claim gold in the north of England with dominant performances over their opponents.
Elsewhere on the card, Chris Bungard and Darren Stewart registered quick first-round finishes, while Milad Ahady won yet another fight.
The prelims offered up one of the feelgood moments of the year when Kennedy Freeman, daughter of UK MMA legend Ian Freeman, knocked out her opponent in the first round after 5 years away from the fight game.
All of the above, and so much more, on the latest episode of the podcast.
In this episode, I recap a fantastic night in London where Cage Warriors 163 went down.
Giannis Bachar captured the vacant Welterweight belt with a shocking one-punch knockout of favourite Omiel Brown.
Will Currie continues to win fights with yet another first-round finish in the co-main event.
Elsewhere on the card, we had a banger between Shawn Da Silva and Gerardo Fanny, multiple big-name prospects adding more wins to their name in Luca Borando, Tariq Pell and Teddy Stringer... as well as many other fights and finishes.
In this episode of the podcast, I break down what was an insanely violent Cage Warriors card in Rome.
Cage Warriors 162 was headlined by a rematch between Dumitru Girlean and Simone Patrizi, a fight where Girlean would go on to win again.
However, the headlines belonged to three men: Nicolas Leblond, Emanuele Tetti and Baris Adiguzel who produced three of the most brutal knockouts of 2023... all on the same night.
In terms of sheer entertainment, this card goes down as one of the best that Cage Warriors have put on in 2023.
In this episode, I break down and react to this weekend's excellent Cage Warriors 161 card.
Paul Hughes has stopped knocking on the door of the UFC and has, instead, started to fire missiles at the entire building. His 1st round KO lifted the roof off the RDS.
Mason Jones continued his 2023 rampage with a stunning beatdown of Yann Liasse.
Elsewhere on the card, Ieuan Davies stunned the home crowd with an outrageous triangle armbar and Paddy McCorry jumped gilly to great effect.
This and SO much more on the latest episode of The Yellow Gloves
In this episode, I sit down to (belatedly) recap Cage Warriors 160.
A lot of things happened on this card, but none crazier than Luke Riley vs Alexander Loof. An all-time Cage Warriors classic. And Riley's had two of those this year. The Scouse Zombie does it again.
Elsewhere on the card, James Hendin handily dominated Tobias Harila in the main event. Adam Cullen returned to the win column with a textbook 1st round decimation. Next Gen teammate Matt Bonner also returned to the win column and also did so with a submission in the first round.
This and so much more on the latest episode of The Yellow Gloves!

11 sept. 2023
00:25:56
In this episode, I sit down to recap Cage Warriors 159 in San Diego.
The main event between Wilson Reis and Trevin Jones left a lot to be desired but another excellent outing from Roberto Hernandez more than made up for things.
Elsewhere on the card, John De Jesus' quirky striking earned him another win in the Yellow Gloves.
Terrence Saeteurn is my new favourite fighter after he and David Lopez scrambled for close to 15 minutes at a very high level.
Bobby Winther made his pro debut and won via KO - he's one to keep an eye on in the future.
This and so much more on this episode of The Yellow Gloves!

Someone's 0 had to go as Michael Pagani and James Power left it all on the line in a back-and-forth scrap.

This and so much more is discussed on this episode!
#15 Mick Stanton Enacts His Revenge, Hardwick Dazzles & Brown Lands the Uppercut From Hell
23 juil. 2023
00:57:36
In this episode, I sit down to recap Cage Warriors 157 in London. On paper, it had a lot of promise. But on the night, it delivered something truly special.
Mick Stanton looked dead to rights until a blitzing right-hand dropped Webb and forced the stoppage. Stanton avenged a big career loss and defended his Middleweight belt for the very first time.
Jordan Vucenic and Morgan Charriere delivered one-sided beatdowns to their debuting opponents, with Vucenic proving once again that he's one of the best back-takers in the game.
Elsewhere on the main card, Madars Fleminas laid claim to being one half of any future title match at Welterweight with a crushing victory over Skibinski.
Luke Riley extended his undefeated record to 7-0 with a comfortable and impressive 15-minute outing.
However, the real visceral highlights of the card sat with Harry Hardwick and Omiel Brown. Hardwick produced one of the most dazzling and picture-perfect back-takes to submit Vitor Estevam while Omiel Brown laid Jesse Urholin to pasture with an insane uppercut.
Elsewhere on the card, Will Currie returned to winning ways, Taka Mhandu registered his first win in the yellow gloves, Angus Hewett and Connor Hayes went to war and Liam Gittins secured yet another finish at 145lbs.

17 juil. 2023
00:46:29
In this episode, I sit down to talk about Rhys McKee getting his second crack at the UFC and preview the entire Cage Warriors 157 card from top to bottom.
Mick Stanton x James Webb II is a UK MMA delight between two absolute veterans of the sport - and there's a shiny, sparkling belt on the line.
Jordan Vucenic and Morgan Charriere are also in action, although sadly not against one another, while mega prospect Luke Riley is also set for battle on this card.
Skibinski x Fleminas rounds off the main card in a fight that has all the makings of a classic stand-and-bang affair.
On the prelims, Will Currie makes his return after losing to Stanton in their epic title match earlier on in the year. Harry Hardwick, brother of George Hardwick, looks to impress the UFC scouts that will likely be in attendance.
Amateur starlet Connor Hayes makes his pro debut while Ander Sanchez returns after a wicked heel-hook submission a few months back.
#13 Stewart Outguns Bonner, Quinn Scores Fastest CW Knockout & Eglin Makes an Incredible Comeback
06 juil. 2023
00:42:52
In the latest episode, I recap the Cage Warriors 156 card in Wales.
Emphasis is placed on Darren Stewart's decision victory over Matt Bonner, which certainly puts him right up there in the title picture.
Elsewhere on the card, Jimmy Quinn smashes the record for the fastest knockout in Cage Warriors history with his faceplant KO over Dan Kneil.
Reece McEwan adds yet another submission win to his record.
Jack Eglin looks pretty much down and out until he finds a second wind and produces a sensational comeback win over Rory Evans.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Evans chokes out her opponent in the very last second of the first round & Scott Pedersen goes full BJ Penn with his rear-naked choke finish.
#12 CW 155 Recap & George Hardwick Gets Called up to... DWCS?!
09 juin 2023
00:39:24
In the latest episode of the podcast, I do a thorough recap of the Cage Warriors 155 card in San Diego... but not before I get my chance to go full "scorched earth" on the UFC after the announcement that George Hardwick had been called up to Dana White's Contender Series.
On the Cage Warriors 155 card, stars were born in Anthony Orozco and Teddy Stringer. Meanwhile, we had a back-and-forth banger between Juan De Jesus and Damon Wilson, as well as a Comeback of the Year contender from David Lopez.
In the latest episode of the Yellow Gloves Podcast, I take a deep dive through the Cage Warriors 154 card in Rome. Caolan Loughran scored a devastating knockout over Dylan Hazan to secure the Bantamweight belt and improve to 8-0.
Darren Stewart notched up another win as he starts to build a path toward the Middleweight belt, while Giannis Bachar and Carlo Pedersoli Jr went to war in one of the best Cage Warriors fights of 2023.
Sam Creasey also returned from his knockout loss to Shajidul Haque with a comfortable decision victory.
Elsewhere on the card, a few Italian prospects shone. I was particularly impressed by Dario Bellandi, Luca Borrando and Jasmine Favero.
It didn't quite have the buzz of the Dublin card from last week but Cage Warriors 154 delivered some memorable moments either way.
#10 McKee Shines, Judo Jim Retires & McCorry Scores a KOTY Contender!
03 mai 2023
01:04:56
In this episode of the pod, I recap an incredibly emotional night in Dublin as UK MMA legend 'Judo' Jim Wallhead decided to hang up the gloves after a title fight loss against Rhys McKee. McKee turned in a career-best performance which brought out a TKO stoppage in between rounds heading into the 5th.
Elsewhere on the card, Tobias Harila and Morgan Charriere snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with stunning comeback finishes. Oban Elliot staked his claim for the 170lbs belt with a decisive victory over James Sheehan.
Paddy McCorry turned in one of the knockouts of the year with a beautifully timed flying knee while prospects Solomon Simon and Alexander O'Sullivan also managed to find victories.
In a Cage Warriors first, Nicolas Leblond produced a bulldog choke submission over Ryan Curtis. Flyweights rule!
In the latest episode of the podcast, we run through the entire Cage Warriors 153 card in depth. Rhys McKee and Jim Wallhead will unify the Cage Warriors welterweight title while, in the co-main event, James Sheehan and Oban Elliott will look to cement themselves as the #1 contender in that division.
Elsewhere on the card, Tobias Harila and Ryan Shelley square off in a fight that has all the makings of an all-time classic, Morgan Charriere returns to action and a heap of prospects look to make a splash in front of what will likely be a sold out 3Arena in Dublin.
#8 Hardwick's Reign Continues & We Get a FOTY Contender
19 avr. 2023
00:41:20
In this episode of the pod, I recap a wild night in Manchester as George Hardwick decimated Yann Liasse to retain his belt.
Elsewhere on the card, the two biggest underdogs of the night produced stunning finishes to upset the odds, Luke Riley and Kallum Parker went to war in a fight for the ages, Bungard avenged his loss over Hughes 7 years in the making and James Power makes Lukasz Kopera quit on his stool.
And believe me when I say, there were even more insane moments on this card.
What was your favourite moment of the night? Tweet me!
Join me as I go through the upcoming Cage Warriors 152 card in depth. We discuss the title reign of George Hardwick who headlines the card, wax lyrical about Adam Cullen and Luke Riley, and then I confess my pure adoration for the Latvian Express, Madars Fleminas.
#6 Mick Stanton Does the Unthinkable While Flyweights Put on a Show
30 mars 2023
00:43:02
In the latest episode of the podcast, I take a look back at Cage Warriors 151 / Unplugged and break down all of the madness that unfolded - from Mick Stanton's incredible title-winning performance, flyweights getting some insane finishes, and a 10-second knockout from Sam Kelly.
It was another excellent Cage Warriors card as the organisation gears up for a massive night in Manchester in a couple of weeks.
In this episode of the Yellow Gloves podcast, I recap the Cage Warriors 150 card.
Jordan Vucenic returned to the cage in an emphatic nature, wiping away the disappointment of the Paul Hughes fight with a total dismantling of Tiziano Ferranti.
Elsewhere on the card, Burlinson found his way back in the win column after a technical brawl with Jamie Richardson.
Lone'er Kavanagh also continued to do special things, to the surprise of nobody.
All of this and more as I work my way through every single fight and break down the action.
In this special episode of the Yellow Gloves podcast, I take a look at Christian Leroy Duncan's career ahead of his UFC debut at UFC 286 in London.
It's an in-depth breakdown of his fighting style, a deep dive into every fight he had under the Cage Warriors banner and I also offer a bit of a prediction for the fight against Dusko Todorovic. Enjoy!
It's been a while but I'm back! And so are Cage Warriors with their very first card of 2023. A word of caution: it's not a very good card but, if you love the absurdities of MMA, especially at this regional San Diego level, you'll get a kick out of this episode. Bizarre nicknames, sketchy records, and potentially illegitimate records... what's not to love?!
In this episode of the Yellow Gloves podcast, I crown winners for the following awards in 2022:
Fighter of the Year Fight of the Year Finishes of the Year Performance of the Year Newcomer of the Year Event of the Year
I had a rough time making decisions in most of these categories - and I think it's a testament to the year Cage Warriors had that I imagine a lot of my picks are quite contentious and debatable for those listening. A friendly reminder that these are my picks... and that doesn't mean they're better than yours. Although they probably are.
As is becoming of a bit of a theme, I have a mini rant in this episode. This time, it's about the tired old cliche that UK fighters can't grapple / need to prove their mettle against grapplers. If you peddle this cliche, STOP. It's stupid and grossly incorrect.
Anyways, enjoy the 2022 awards show! Let me know what your picks were for these categories over on Twitter or Instagram (@YellowGlovesPod across the board).
In the first-ever episode of the Yellow Gloves podcast, I recap the New Years Eve Cage Warriors 148 card. Modestas Bukauskas knocked out Chuck Campbell in Round 4 to become a two-time Cage Warriors champion, meanwhile Shajidul Haque beat Sam Creasey again to capture Cage Warriors gold for the first time.
I gush about both of their performances while also laboriously breaking down each fight on the card, lumping a lot of praise on Tobias Harila, Chasen Blair and Omiel Brown.
I also go on a rant about fighters throwing naked leg kicks.
