While no opponent has been confirmed for the outspoken Liverpool born fighter, Pimblett will fight in the main event of the night. Cage Warriors officials will neither confirm or deny if the bout will be for the lightweight title.

Pimblett scored a fantastic flying triangle/armbar combo finish over Alexis Savvidis last month in his lightweight debut at Cage Warriors 90. It’d be the first fight back for “The Baddy” since losing his Featherweight strap to Nad Narimani last April via unanimous decision.

The promotion also announced a return to London for Cage Warriors 95 on July 21st. You can read the full press release in regards to both events here.
