Cage Warriors 197: Unplugged — Card, Context, and Every Fight Page
Cage Warriors brings its intimate “Unplugged” vibes back to Manchester for Cage Warriors 197, a tightly booked night headlined by a transatlantic welterweight clash: Santos vs. Orozco. Co-main slot goes to proven featherweights squaring off in Wilson vs. Lee, with finishing threats sprinkled across the lineup.
Main Event — Orozco’s pressure vs Santos’ early danger
Anthony Orozco’s compact boxing and back-foot counters meet Evaldo Santos’ fast starts and clinch-to-elbow rhythm. The build has been cheeky, too:

Expect Orozco to mix stance switches to close range and Santos to answer with knees up the middle. Whoever owns the fence exchanges likely owns the scorecards.
Co-Main & the chaos merchants beneath
Wilson vs. Lee is classic CW matchmaking: range-sniping vs. surge-forward combination work. Keep an eye on Italy’s thunderous return in Mastrogiacomo vs. Armindo — and if you forgot what Giuseppe can do, here’s your reminder:
