Cathal Pendred won big and Neil Seery won the Cage Warriors Flyweight title and it's all covered here with more.
Cathal Pendred beat former UFC welterweight Che Mills in a dominant performance that has many speculating that he will be put on the UFC Boston card in August with his SBG teammate Conor McGregor.
