Cage Warriors Fighting Championship is making its return in London in March with CW 113, and five exciting bouts have been added to the lineup.

Ultimate Fighting Championship alum Danilo Belluardo (12-5) is making his Cage Warriors debut as he locks horns with undefeated Mason Jones (8-0). Belluardo is eager to bounce back on track after his unsuccessful UFC stint which saw him lose to Joel Alvarez at UFC Fight Night 153 and Olympian Mark O. Madsen at UFC Fight Night 160. "Caterpillar" is 3-2 in his last five appearances, with his most important victory to date coming by unanimous verdict over Denilson Neves de Oliveira at Venator FC 5 in a championship encounter.

The unbeaten Jones is gaining a reputation for himself in the European regional scene thanks to some dominant performances. In his latest fight, Jones overcame Aleksi Mantykivi by unanimous decision at CW 108. Prior to that, he edged Donovan Desmae at CW 104.

In other news, Emrah Sonmez (11-2) will lock horns with Aidan Stephen (6-2) in a featherweight affair. In the same division, former title challenger Steve Aimable (14-6) will clash with Perry Goodwin (9-7). On top of that, Hakon Foss (9-8) and Nathan Jones (13-9) will square off in the 170-pound division, while middleweights Matthew Bonner (6-5-1) and Jamie Richardson (8-5) will go head-to-head.

Cage Warriors 113 will go down at the Indigo at the O2 Arena in London on March 20.
