Cage Warriors has announced its return to action following the coronavirus lockdown.
In September, the promotion will host three cards in consecutive nights, starting with CW114 on September 24th, and ending with CW116 on September 26th.
The multiple events have been titled "The Trilogy", and will feature some of the best talent European Mixed Martial Arts has to offer.
Four champions will defend their titles across the weekend, including bantamweight kingpin Jack Cartwright.

"We've pulled off big events before, but this is something else entirely," said CW president, Graham Boylan.
"All our biggest names across one weekend. We're leaving no stone unturned."
"It's taken a lot of planning, but we're ready to get back on the road. We're back to doing what we do best, and that's showcasing Europe's best talent and providing the proven pathway to the top," he said.
Promotional star, Paddy Pimblett has also been confirmed to take part that weekend
Rhys McKee, who has been tipped to make the jump to the UFC very soon, will also compete. McKee was originally supposed to compete in Belfast, at CW116.
The event was cancelled due to the pandemic, and it scuppered McKee's welterweight title shot for the time being.
Dubliner Ian Garry, and teammate James Webb, both of whom represent Team KF in Swords, will also look to make impressive returns to competition.
"The Trilogy" will be the first events that the European promotion has hosted since early March.
The UFC has managed to host its own cards since May, and Bellator recently announced its plans to return to action, following a lengthy break.
Cage Warriors has provided a platform for multiple fighters in Europe, who have transitioned to the UFC.
All three cards will be hosted behind closed doors, at the BEC Arena, in Manchester. It will be broadcast globally by UFC Fight Pass.
Sixty fighters are due to compete over the course of three nights.
Update: Rhys McKee has since signed a deal with the UFC. McKee will make his promotional debut on July 26th against Khamzat Chimaev.
