Cage Warriors 84 weigh-in results: Title fight set but 2 bouts scrapped for medical reasons


Two fights have been removed from Friday’s Cage Warriors 84 event.

Cage Warriors 84 takes place at Indigo at The O2 in London. The main card streams on UFC Fight Pass (4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT) following prelims on The Sport Bible’s Facebook page (1:30 p.m. ET).

In the headliner, Nathaniel Wood (10-3), a London-based fighter who’s on a 4-1 run, takes on Switzerland’s Marko Kovacevic (9-1), who brings an eight-fight winning streak into his Cage Warriors debut. They fight for the vacant bantamweight title.

Kovacevic weighed 134.6 pounds, and after coming in a half-pound over on his first attempt, Wood eventually was cleared after re-weighing in at 134.6.

However, two bouts were scrapped from the card. Bola Omoyele (8-4), who was slated to fight Lee Chadwick (22-13-1) on the main card, and Marcus Paul (1-0), who was scheduled to meet Martyn Harris (4-3) on the prelims, weren’t medically cleared to compete. Both fighters have been pulled from the card.
