Mick Stanton and James Webb on weight for middleweight title clash – Fighters Only

The fighters took to the scale in London ahead of Cage Warriors 157, with only one fighter failing to hit their contracted weight for Friday night’s event at the Indigo at The O2.

The main event will feature a battle for the middleweight title, as champion Mick Stanton takes on former champ James Webb for the 185-pound title, and both men arrived on the scale with weight to spare, with Stanton coming in at 184.7 pounds, and Webb tipping the scale at 184.6 pounds.

The card also features a pair of former Cage Warriors featherweight champions, and both Jordan Vucenic (145.8) and Morgan Charriere (145.2) made weight with ease for their bouts against Brice Picaud and Diego Silva, respectively.

Twenty-nine of the 30 fighters set for action hit their marks on the scale, with featherweight Tom Mearns the only fighter to miss weight, coming in at 150.4 pounds for his bout with Bailey Gilbert. The fight will go ahead, with Mearns forfeiting 50 percent of his fight purse.

The only other minor issue on the scale came when George Tanasa initially weighed in 0.1 pounds over the 146-pound featherweight limit for his bout with Wesley Machado. However, Tanasa returned to the scale for a second attempt within the allotted time and made weight, at 146 pounds.

George Tanasa came in 0.1lbs over the non-title limit for his featherweight bout against Wesley Machado (143.5lbs), before returning to the scale minutes later to hit 146lbs even.

The only fighter unable to hit their mark was Tom Mearns, who tipped the scales at 150.4lbs for his featherweight clash with Bailey Gilbert.

Their bout will go ahead with Mearns being fined 50% of his purse.
