News - Cage Wars !

Cage Wars called upon thinkSMS to promote some of their Northern Irish Mixed Martial Arts events.

Cage Wars is a Mixed Martial Arts promotion that began in 1999 to promote and teach the sport of MMA. During that time the CWC team brought the first ever cage event to the UK in 2001 which has lead to the explosion of MMA promotions in the UK. MMA is now the fastest growing sport on the planet today.

The first event took place in the Guildhall in Portsmouth, England and was followed by the first ever London event which was a sell out. The Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland followed over the years and the most recent event was held in The Odyssey Arena in Belfast which was a phenomenal success.

Cage Wars is the largest and longest running UK MMA brand and has hosted or introduced many of the biggest MMA stars including Seth Petruzelli, Shonie Carter, Jess Liaudin, Joachim Hansen, Dan Severn, Rich Clementi, and Jeremy Horn to name but a few.

The Cage Wars team have been involved in over 50 MMA events in the last ten years. They also produced the first ever MMA documentary "Underdogs" with LA film director Bobby Razak; the film featured UK fighters preparing to travel to the US and fight for the first time. The DVD was released globally and was heralded as the quintessential MMA documentary.

The Cage Wars team produced the first ever UK MMA publication to demonstrate that there was a market for a publication dedicated to the sport of MMA. Today there are many monthly MMA magazines.

Cage Wars Championship events are now widely broadcast around the world including Sky Sports in the UK.
