After a two month break, Cage Warriors makes a welcome return this Saturday with CWFC 70, which will take place at "The Helix" in Dublin, Ireland.

Headlining the main card, Irishman Joseph Duffy meets Damien Lapilus in a lightweight bout. Duffy (10-1) will be making his MMA return after a three year absence from the sport. After tasting defeat for the first time at CWFC 39 to Ivan Musardo back in 2011, Duffy turned his back on MMA for a while to pursue a career in boxing.

Duffy, who is the last man to have beaten current rising UFC featherweight Conor McGregor, had a successful stint there as well, going 7-0 in his professional career. Duffy was finally persuaded to return to MMA, signing an 18 month contract with Cage Warriors in April 2014. He will be facing Frenchman and debutant Damien Lapilus (9-3-1), who is undefeated in his last five fights, with four wins and one draw.

In the co-main event of the evening, welterweight Jake "Brutal" Bostwick will take on another Irishman in Philip "The Honeybadger" Mulpeter. Riding an eight fight winning streak, Bostwick will be looking to build on his success. Though he'll be up against a tough test when he faces Mulpeter, who got back to winning after being defeated by former UFC fighter John Maguire at CWFC 63, picking up a first round victory over Aldric Cassata in CWFC 65 in March 2014.

Also on the card is a lightweight battle that sees Irishman Paul Redmond (9-4) take on Alexis Savvidis (8-1). Recently released Andrew Fisher (12-6-1) makes his Cage Warrior debut against Artem Lobov (9-10-1NC), whilst Englishman Lloyd Clarkson (8-7) will be up against undefeated Irishman Karl Moore (4-0) in a light heavyweight battle.
