Cage Warriors’ roster has 12 new additions, including a bevy of lightweights.

Officials recently announced the signings. Deal terms and fight bookings weren’t revealed.

Many of the names should be familiar to Cage Warriors and European MMA fans.

“I’m delighted to welcome this exciting crop of fighters to the Cage Warriors family,” company president Graham Boyland stated. “We’re a handful of events into our biggest year ever, and bringing these talented fighters onto our roster helps give our matchmaker Ian Dean even more options as we look to deliver exciting fights and spectacular events for our fans.”

The new additions include:

• Heavyweight: Shawn Kenny (2-0)
• Light heavyweight: Norman Paraisy (15-4-2)
• Welterweight: Dylan Mcloughlin (3-0) and Craig White (11-4)
• Lightweight: Donovan Desmae (9-3), Soren Bak (7-1), Perry Goodwin (6-4), Aleksi Mantykivi (10-4), Ellis Hampson (6-3-1) and Alexander Jacobsen (7-1)
• Bantamweight: Gavin Kelly (8-3) and Brian Bouand (5-1)

Cage Warriors has hosted three events so far in 2017, and its next, Cage Warriors 82, takes place next month in England. All the shows stream via UFC Fight Pass.

Lee vs. Wood set for Cage Warriors 82

The fight card continues to take shape for Cage Warriors 82, and a bantamweight bout between former UFC fighter Vaughan Lee (14-12-1) and Nathaniel Wood (10-4) is the latest addition.

Cage Warriors 82 takes place April 1 at Echo Arena Liverpool in Liverpool, but the bout order for the UFC Fight Pass-streamed event hasn’t been finalized.

Lee, who went 3-5 during a four-year UFC run while fighting notables such as ex-champ T.J. Dillashaw and Raphael Assuncao, and Wood, a vet of the U.K. fight circuit who’s on a 3-1 run, were originally scheduled to fight at Cage Warriors 80. However, Wood was ultimately forced off the card due to a lack of medical clearance.

The latest Cage Warriors 82 card now includes:

• Champ Paddy Pimblett vs. Nad Narimani – for featherweight title
• Champ Chris Fishgold vs. Jani Salmi – for lightweight title
• Vaughan Lee vs. Nathaniel Wood
• Frantz Slioa vs. Dean Trueman
• Molly McCann vs. TBA
• Lee Chadwick vs. Tommy Quinn
• Perry Andre Goodwin vs. Ellis Hampson
