Last night was a good night for SBG Swords in England as two of their prominent pro fighters walked away with massive wins.

In the Cage Warriors 99 main event James Webb (5-1) scored the biggest win of his career with a first round TKO win over Jason Radcliffe (13-7) - see below. Webb, who had previously won all his fights via submission, only turned pro less than two years ago and now with a win in a Cage Warriors main event under his belt he is certainly someone to keep an eye on in 2019.

James Webb breaks through to get a first round win in his hometown!!! 👏

A few miles away in Newcastle, Konrad Iwanowski (7-3) walked away with the MTK MMA middleweight title after a unanimous decision win over Tommy Quinn (7-5).

This victory has marked a return to winning ways for Iwanowski after narrowly losing a split decision in his previous fight at Cage Warriors 95. It also ends 2018 on a positive note for the Polish born fighter and no doubt he will be looking to cause a big splash in 2019 and get a good run going.
