Nicolas Dalby: ‘Pivotal’ title win at Cage Warriors 106 could lead to UFC return

Nicolas Dalby will look to reclaim his old crown, the Cage Warriors welterweight championship, when he meets champion Ross Houston in the main event of title-heavy marquee Cage Warriors 106: Night of Champions in London, England on Saturday.

Many feel as though “Locomotivo” could be awarded a UFC return for his hometown event, UFC Copenhagen, if he has his hand raised following his meeting with the Scot.

After claiming a win over Elizeu Zaleski and a draw over future title contender Darren Till, Dalby’s run with the UFC came to end in 2016 after back-to-back decision losses to Zak Cummings and Peter Sobotta.
