Curt Warburton will begin his Cage Warriors career against fellow promotional newcomer Wesley Murch in a 160lb catchweight bout at Cage Warriors 62, at the Metro Arena in Newcastle, England on the 7th of December.

Currently fourth in the UK's lightweight rankings, Warburton (12-4) fought 3 times for the UFC between 2010 and 2011 earning a 1-2 record, before signing for Bamma where he went on to win the promotions lightweight title defeating current CWFC champ Stevie Ray.  

“I’m looking forward to making my Cage Warriors debut against a tough opponent. Wesley is on a bit of a win-streak at the moment but that will end in Newcastle on December 7,” said Warburton.

His opponent, Wesley Murch (13-6) enters the bout with Warburton on the back of a 4 fight win streak. 

Murch, who today signed a 5 fight exclusive deal with Cage Warriors is 9-2 in his last 11 fight; the 30 year old has also taken 12 of his 13 professional wins inside the distance.

He said: “It’s great to be joining Cage Warriors and getting the chance to compete against the top lightweights out there. Curt is an example of that. He’s a great fighter and beating him will prove that I’m among the best in Europe.”
