Justin Burlinson Chokes Out Daniel Skibinski in CW 135 Main Event

Cage Warriors Fighting Championship returned to the BEC Arena in Manchester, England, with a card chock full of finishes.

In the CW 135 headliner, Dana White's Contender Series alum Justin Burlinson took on Daniel Skibinski in a welterweight tilt. Skibinski (18-7, 0-1 CW) relied on his fast hands to bust up his opponent’s face and ensure that Burlinson could not get off his powerful counters. In turn, Burlinson (7-1, 2-0 CW) kept advancing, and ended up waiting for the right moment to fire off a big right hand.
