Injuries hit Cage Warriors 50 card, Turner-Beer promoted to main card

No organization is immune from the injury bug.

The latest, Cage Warriors, has been forced to rearrange next week's Cage Warriors 50 card, which streams on MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), due to a series of injuries.

A featherweight bout between Robert Whiteford (9-1) and Chris Fishgold (7-0) has been scratched due to injuries to both competitors, and featherweights Nathan Beer (13-4) and Graham Turner (20-7) have taken their spot on the main card.

Cage Warriors 50 takes place Dec. 8 at Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, Scotland. The main card streams on MMAjunkie.com following prelims on Facebook. Former Cage Warriors champion Paul McVeigh (18-7) and promotional newcomer Brandon Hempleman (8-1) meet in the 130-pound headliner.

In addition to the Beer vs. Turner promotion, an injury has forced another change to the main card. Mats Nilsson (9-2-1) has been forced off the card with an injury, and middleweight Denniston Sutherland (18-8) now meets replacement Scott Askham (6-0).

On the prelims, also due to injuries, Mark Connor (6-8-1) now fights flyweight prospect Andy Young (1-3) instead of Niko Gjoka (8-7), and Rob McCrum (3-6) steps in to replace James MacAlister (6-1) against Alex Enlund (6-1) at a catchweight of 140 pounds.
