Cage Warriors 58 to Take Place in Chechnya

Cage Warriors 8th show of 2013 will take place in the Chechen capital of Grozny on August 28th.

Chechnya, an autonomous republic in south-western Russia, is the birthplace of well-known middleweight Mamed Khalidov and current UFC welterweight Adlan Amagov.

Cage Warriors will make its historic first visit to the republic thanks to the support of the Chechen leader, President Ramzan Kadyrov, who is a keen advocate of mixed martial arts and a talented boxer himself.

“We’re very excited to be bringing Cage Warriors to Chechnya for the first time,” said Cage Warriors CEO Graham Boylan. “MMA is hugely popular there and the people of Chechnya will have something special to look forward to."

“Without the full support of President Ramzan Kadyrov, we would not have been able to finalise the deal for this event and, on behalf of the Cage Warriors team, I want to thank the President for his support to Cage Warriors.”
