In a statement, Cage Warriors president Graham Boylan said, “It’s great to see these fighters from the Scandinavian region coming through. Cage Warriors has formed a longstanding relationship with NENT, and this really allows us to put the spotlight on the Scandinavian talent we have.”

“At Cage Warriors, we are committed to growing the sport of MMA in Scandinavia, and what better way to do that than putting these guys on a huge platform to perform on.”

Having been out since 2019, Aleksi Mantykivi (12-6) will make his return during The Trilogy. He has a 75% finish rate in his 12 wins, including 6 KO/TKOs. The Finnish finisher will take on Madars Fleminas (8-3) at welterweight in June.
