The lineup for Saturday’s Cage Warriors 72 event has undergone some late changes following the loss of a headliner and title challenger. Officials today announced that Gael Grimaud (19-6) has pulled out of the welterweight headliner with champ Nicolas Dalby (12-0) due to a lingering back injury. According to Cage Warriors, Grimaud first notified officials about the lower-back issue on Tuesday. He received an anti-inflammatory injection and was cleared to fight on Wednesday, but today, he told officials the injury “flared up again,” according to today’s announcement. Cage Warriors 74 takes place at Newport Centre in Newport, Wales
