With its home country headliner gone from the lineup, next week’s Cage Warriors card in Wales has done some late shuffling and has a new headliner. 185-pound champion Jack Marshman (20-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has gotten the call from the big show and will fight Magnus Cedenblad (14-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) next month at UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. That means the Welshman is out of the Cage Warriors 79 middleweight title main event in Wales against Andreas Michailidis (7-2). A lightweight fight between Scott Clist (11-2) and one-fight UFC and “Ultimate Fighter” veteran Martin Svensson (14-6) has been elevated to the new main event, the promotion today announced. There was no immediate word on whether Michailidis will remain on the card against a new opponent, or what the status will be of Cage Warriors’ now-vacant middleweight belt. Cage Warriors 79 takes place Oct.
