An 18-bout lineup has been officially rubber-stamped for Cage Warriors’ return to Italy, with the premier European MMA promotion bringing a loaded card full of international talent to the Eternal City on Saturday night.

Headlining the event, Giacomo “The Boar” Michelis will step into the main event spotlight for the first time as he takes on Turkey’s Sado Ucar.

Ucar brings a prodigious finishing rate to the cage, having finished 17 of his 20 professional victories, while Michelis will turn back the Austrian-based Turk by claiming victory on home soil.

The co-main event will see a battle between Ireland and Italy, as Ryan Shelley steps into the cage to take on Simone D’Anna in a battle between two rising featherweight contenders.

The card will also see Paddy McCorry return to action as he faces debuting Shuki Farage in a 195-pound catchweight contest.

Italian fan-favourites Nicolo Soli, Khadim Dia, Nicolas Leblond and Giuseppe Mastrogiacomo are also set to feature.
