Cage Warriors just returned with a stacked card at the 3Arena in Dublin.

In the main event we saw a welterweight title unification fight between champion Rhys McKee and interim champion Jim Wallhead. The champion Mckee fought a good fight won via TKO (corner stoppage) in round four.

In the featherweight co-main event, Sweden’s KO king Tobias ”Bad Intention” Harila lived up to his name as he returned to action to face the undefeated hometown hero Ryan Shelley.

In the third round, the heavy-hitting Harila rocked his oppenent with a right punch and followed up with a knee which forced the referee to stop the fight.

This was the Swede’s second straight KO win, as he finished Damon Wilson on the Cage Warriors New Year’s Eve card.

Cage Warriors 153 also featured the debut of Wasi Adeshina who fell short against the experienced Decky McAleenan in a featherweight bout. McAleenan was able to secure a arm-bar that forced Adeshina to tap in the first round.
