The USA TODAY Sports Media Group announced today that its MMA
destination, MMAjunkie.com, will be the exclusive online home for live
coverage of Cage Warriors Fighting Championship events in 2012.

Cage Warriors, the top MMA circuit in the U.K. and Europe, has sent many
top prospects on to compete within organizations including the UFC,
Strikeforce and Bellator. Additionally, many other notables – including
Brian Foster, Matt Veach and Pascal Krauss – have competed within the
fighter-friendly promotion.

MMAjunkie.com will provide free live streams of all 16 Cage Warriors
shows in the coming year, including three during the month of February.

Cage Warriors has already scheduled 16 events in 13 countries for 2012,
including events in England, Lebanon, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates,
Poland, Turkey and Russia.

Additionally, a prospects-rich eight-man middleweight tournament will
determine a new titleholder while notables such as Rosi Sexton and
Aisling Daly are part of a four-slot women's championship tournament.

"We're excited to bring more great fights to our MMAjunkie.com
community," said MMAjunkie.com editor-in-chief and co-founder Dann
Stupp. "Our past Cage Warriors streams have been a big hit with Junkie
Nation, and we look forward to streaming even more."

As part of the agreement, MMAjunkie.com will stream all live main cards
from Cage Warriors' 2012 schedule. Preliminary-card bouts will stream
live on Cage Warriors' Facebook page.

"To have one of the biggest MMA websites in the world partner with Cage
Warriors is a big deal to our team," said Cage Warriors director Graham
Boylan. "It shows that Cage Warriors is a promotion that ranks with the
best when MMAjunkie.com decides to be our exclusive partner.

"Cage Warriors will showcase the fighters to the rest of the world and
open the eyes of the bigger organizations to the talent that's out
there, as we are one of the top feeder shows and will continue to grow
talent for the big guns. We are very proud to say our media partner is
MMAjunkie.com and the USA TODAY Sports Media Group."

In addition to MMAjunkie.com's online stream, Cage Warriors broadcasts
its events on Sky Sports (U.K.), Fight Now TV (U.S.) and The Fight
Network (Canada), among other TV outlets.

The 2012 Cage Warriors schedule includes:

• Saturday, Feb. 11 – Beirut, Lebanon (CWFC Fight Night 3)
  
• Saturday, Feb. 18 – London, United Kingdom (CWFC 45)
  
• Thursday, Feb. 23 – Ukraine (CWFC 46)

That should be awesome for the up-and-comers who can get on CW! Between Bellator, CW and the other promotions gearing up for the third MMA Explosion, this is going to be a crazy few years coming up.

Free MMA, gotta love it.
