Cage Warriors 47 weigh-in results: Championship co-headliners on weight

Fri Jun 01, 2012 5:34 pm

All four Cage Warriors 47 co-headliners today made weight for Saturday's event.

Heavyweight champion Mike Hayes (229.7) and challenger D.J. Linderman (229.6) easily hit the mark, as did Dave Hill (144.9) and Conor McGregor (144.7), who fight for the organization's vacant featherweight title.

Cage Warriors 47 takes place at The Helix in Dublin, and the main card streams on MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT (9 p.m. IST local time) following Facebook prelims.

Hayes (18-4-1) and Linderman (11-3), who both recently competed for Bellator, meet for the second time. They first fought back in 2009 at a regional Alliance Fights show in Washington. Linderman won the bout via unanimous decision, but their paths never crossed in Bellator. Hayes now looks to avenge the loss and and defend a title he won from Andreas Kraniotakes in March.

McGregor (10-2), meanwhile, looks to win a title in his home country when he meets Hill (10-2). McGregor, who hopes the title could propel him to a UFC contract, has won six straight fights, all via knockout.

The only fighter who failed to make weight on her initial attempt today was veteran Aisling Daly (126.8), but she quickly cut the extra weight in the alloted time and is now cleared for her bout with Rosi Sexton.
