As of July 2025 he holds a professional record of 13 wins and 3 losses, all of his defeats coming by decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Biography<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Birth:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 December 1996, in Middlesbrough, England. Grew up in the village of Normanby.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 28 (as of July 2025)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Height<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 5 ft 10 in (178 cm) and reach at 72 in (183 cm)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A feature in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearemiddlesbrough.com\/our-stories\/george-hardwick-the-champ-is-here-in-middlesbrough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are Middlesbrough<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> describes the polite and engaging fighter welcoming journalists into the Middlesbrough Fight Academy above a closed Co\u2011op supermarket on Linthorpe Road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick\u2019s path into combat sports was unusual. He and his brother spent hours playing video games and particularly loved the <\/span><b>UFC Undisputed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeking something more active, Hardwick began Muay Thai at the age of 12 in Teesvile and took up MMA when he was 15 years old, training under head coach Abdul Mohammed. The Hardwick brothers became \u201cobsessed\u201d with training and soon gained a reputation for their work ethic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick is known for his friendly demeanour and deep connection to Teesside. He coaches alongside his brother and Abdul Mohammed at Middlesbrough Fight Academy and still treats himself to local favourite <\/span><b>parmos<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Manjaros, an African-Caribbean restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His biggest motivation, even for important events, is his own enjoyment of the sport, and the physical and mental freedom that comes from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Professional MMA Career<\/h2>\n<h3>Early years and debut<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick fought extensively as an amateur before turning professional in August 2017. He made his pro debut against Craig Edwards at Olympus Fighting Championships on 19 August 2017, winning by unanimous decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his early career he competed in regional promotions such as Made 4 the Cage and Almighty Fighting Championship, before signing with Cage Warriors in 2019. In his Cage Warriors debut he suffered his first loss to Madars Fleminas on 26 October 2019, but quickly rebounded with a series of wins, first in Bellator events and then with Cage Warriors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Rise through Cage Warriors and title run<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2020, Hardwick fought twice for Bellator. He submitted Richard Kiely at Bellator 240 on 22 February 2020 with a guillotine choke, and outpointed Nicol\u00f2 Solli at Bellator Euro Series 8 in September 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning to Cage Warriors in June 2021, Hardwick unleashed a series of body\u2011shot stoppages: he knocked out Dean Trueman at CW 124 and submitted Jakub Dohnal with a guillotine at CW 129. He then battered Lukasz Kopera with knees and punches at CW 134.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The run earned Hardwick a lightweight title shot at Cage Warriors 141 on 22 July 2022. In a back\u2011and\u2011forth war against Kyle Driscoll, he used relentless pressure and a pinpoint left to the body to fold the American in the fourth round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The victory crowned him Cage Warriors lightweight champion and highlighted his emerging identity as a \u201cbody snatcher\u201d \u2013 a term the promotion applied because three of his five\u2011fight win streaks came via body\u2011shot finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Title defences and Contender Series<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick made his first title defence at Cage Warriors 147 in November 2022, stopping seasoned Scotsman Chris Bungard with rib\u2011roasting body punches. At CW 152 on 15 April 2023, he dismantled Yann Liasse by TKO in the first round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That spring he accepted an invitation to Dana White\u2019s Contender Series (DWCS) in Las Vegas. On 15 August 2023, he faced Abdul\u2011Kareem Al\u2011Selwady. After three competitive rounds he lost a unanimous decision, missing out on a UFC contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Later fights and recent form<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning to Cage Warriors, Hardwick defended his belt in September 2024 against Cristian Iorga, winning a five\u2011round decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March 2025, he and his brother headlined Cage Warriors 186 in London. Promotional hype billed it as a historic double\u2011title defence for the Hardwick brothers. On fight night, George weighed in at 154.3 lbs and entered as lightweight champion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brazilian challenger Samuel Silva neutralised Hardwick\u2019s body attacks and took a unanimous decision over five rounds, claiming the belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He&#8217;s set to fight at Cage Warriors 193 in September 2025 against Jan Quaeyhaegens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Key statistics and signature wins<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Professional record:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 13 wins, 3 losses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Victories by KO\/TKO:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 \u2013 Notable body\u2011shot stoppages against Dean Trueman, Lukasz Kopera, Kyle Driscoll and Chris Bungard.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Victories by submission:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3 \u2013 Including guillotine chokes of Richard Kiely and Jakub Dohnal.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Victories by decision:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 \u2013 Including the five\u2011round win over Cristian Iorga in September 2024.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Losses:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3, all by decision \u2013 to Madars Fleminas (2019), Abdul\u2011Kareem Al\u2011Selwady (2023) and Samuel Silva (2025).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>George Hardwick &#8211;

Cage Warriors announced that he will return for the next fight at CW 193 on 13 September 2025 to face hard\u2011hitting Belgian fighter Jan Quaeyhaegens in Newcastle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick has said in interviews that he still hopes to reach the UFC and views every fight as an opportunity to prove himself. Given his age (still only 28), technical growth and fan\u2011friendly style, observers believe he could soon receive another Contender Series invitation or a direct call\u2011up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>George Hardwick\u2019s Fighting Style and Strengths<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick describes his fighting style as pressure heavy. Trained in Muay Thai from a young age, he prefers to walk opponents down and wear them out with body and leg work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cagewarriors.com\/george-hardwick-invasion-of-the-body-snatcher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cage Warriors website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mentions how he has \u201ctorn the lightweight division to shreds\u201d with a series of body\u2011shot finishes, and reports that three of his five\u2011fight winning streak leading to the title came by attacks to the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His fight with Kyle Driscoll is a perfect example of this approach: Hardwick marched forward through punches to land a blistering left to the liver, causing Driscoll to fold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite being known for striking, Hardwick\u2019s submissions are sharp. He has three professional wins by guillotine choke. All three of his losses came by decision, suggesting toughness and good defence. Areas for improvement include takedown defence against elite wrestlers and adapting when his body\u2011shot offence is neutralised.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Training and Team<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick trains at the Middlesbrough Fight Academy, a tiny gym above a former Co\u2011op supermarket on Linthorpe Road. The facility, \u201cheld together with duct tape\u201d yet buzzing with talent, is run by head coach Abdul Mohammed and features a cadre of professionals including George\u2019s brother Harry Hardwick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwick credits early Muay Thai mentor (a coach in Teesville with over 300 fights) and later Abdul Mohammed for instilling fundamentals. He now helps coach MMA and Muay Thai classes while also training multiple times a day from Monday to Saturday. Other coaches include Peter Irving and Jonathan Hoole.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Titles and Achievements<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cage Warriors Lightweight Champion (2022\u20132025)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Captured the vacant belt by defeating Kyle Driscoll with a body\u2011shot knockout.
