Fast-rising British prospect Paddy Pimblett will face Johnny Frachey for the vacant Cage Warriors Fighting Championship featherweight title in the Cage Warriors 78 headliner on Sept. 10 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. In the co-main event, Chris Fishgold puts his lightweight championship on the line against Jason Ponet.
Pimblett will enter the cage on a seven-fight winning streak. The 21-year-old Next Generation UK rep last fought at Cage Warriors 77 on July 8, when he submitted Teddy Violet with a second-round rear-naked choke.
