Jack Grant vs. Jai Herbert set as first title fight of ‘Cage Warriors 106: Night of Champions’

June’s Cage Warriors 106 will have a special feel, with every bout on the main card set to feature a title belt on the line.

Cage Warriors officials today announced that Jack Grant (15-4) and Jai Herbert (8-1) will face off for the promotion’s vacant lightweight title at the June 29 event, which takes place at Eventim Apollo in London and streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

“When two guys are tearing through the division like this, it’s always going to be fireworks when they meet,” says Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan stated. “The fans have been calling for this one since Jack and Jai first signed with us, and now they’re going to get it along with a whole main card filled with title fights that we’re working on right now.

“No question, this will be one of the craziest cards we’ve ever put together.”

Grant carries a six-fight winning streak into the contest, including a perfect 3-0 mark under the Cage Warriors banner. Two of those three victories came via first-round knockout. Herbert also stands at 3-0 since coming to Cage Warriors in 2018, and his past two victories have each come by way of first-round TKO.

More bouts are expected to be announced shortly.
