Cage warriors have today confirmed that they have parted ways with former TUF vet, Aaron Wilkinson. 

In 2012, Wilkinson (11-6) signed an exclusive deal with Cage Warriors and went on to make a successful debut for the promotion at Cage Warriors 48 in July 2012 when he submitted Leigh Cohoon in the first round. following his debut, Wilkinson has gone 1-1 dropping a decision loss to Alan Johnston last December, only to rebound with a TKO victory over heavily favourite, Bola Omoyele this past Saturday. 

Speaking of the release, Cage Warriors CEO Graham Boylan explained that although there is still 3 months left on his contract, Cage Warriors do not have any plans to offer the 26 year old, Manchester native another fight during this period: 

“Aaron is contractually committed to Cage Warriors until January 2014, but we don’t have any plans for him to compete between now and then,” said Boylan. 

“We’ve got four more big shows scheduled between now and the end of the year but all cards are already stacked, so unfortunately there’s no room for Aaron to fight once more before his contract expires.” 

 “I wish Aaron the very best with his career, which I’m sure will be a success on the back of a big win last weekend.” 

Wilkinson leaves to promotion with a record of 2-1 under cage warriors, and 11 - 6 overall.
