Cage Warriors 170 results: James Sheehan claims world title in hard-fought Dublin battle
James Sheehan became the new Cage Warriors welterweight champion after beating Daniel Konrad in front of his home fans in Dublin.
The Irishman came out on top following an arduous main event battle which culminated in the fourth round with Sheehan getting the job done by submission.
Jimbo Slice takes over as the top dog in the 170lbs division from former title holder Giannis Bachar who departed for the Ultimate Fighter.
The much-hyped Paul Hughes also bagged victory in the Irish capital after picking up a first-round finish. The Irishman is now 11-1 and in the midst of a five-fight winning run.
Ger Harris and Decky McAleenan provided plenty of excitement for their home fans as they both finished their opponents in the second round.
The first fight of the main card provided arguably the biggest upset of the night as Rory Evans picked up statement-making win over Taka Mhandu.
