Cage Warriors 67 weigh-in results: Brett Johns misses weight, stripped of title

Saturday’s Cage Warriors 67 main event will still have a title on the line, but only for one fighter.

Reigning bantamweight champion Brett Johns (137 pounds) came in heavy for his planned title fight with James Brum (134.6) and has been fined 25 percent of his purse. Additionally, he’s been stripped of his title.

Saturday’s main event is still scheduled for five rounds, and if victorious, Brum will receive the vacant title. Johns, meanwhile, isn’t eligible to reclaim the belt at the show.

Cage Warriors 67 takes place at The LC in Swansea, Wales. The six-bout main card streams in North American on MMAjunkie beginning at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT). Other viewers can catch the event at cagewarriors.tv.

In addition to Johns, Mark Handley (130.5) also has missed weight and forfeited 25 percent of his purse. All Cage Warriors fines are awarded to a fighter’s opponent.
