Only my second time seeing Cage Rage (first time was in a noisy pub in company so I couldn't concentrate on it) but don't want to sound very negative but TBH I think the show smacks of been a bit scummy. Didn't see all of the fights BUT matching Jansen with Phil Baroni WTF???!!! He might be up and coming but not for someone like Baroni.

Thought that was BS, as Baroni had just got into mount and was about to start teeing off.

Jaysus, you must not have seen her on Cage Fighter, she came across even worse on that. She loved it when Dave O'Donnell described them as the Posh and Becks of MMA:o

Never watching this again , total sh**e, 1st match i was like ok i know these lads are heavy weights but your man had a bear belly ffs heavy weights in otehr promotions are at least in shape and have heard of cardio, these lads where both out of puff b4 the bell rang, and that dirty headbutt from that chav and baroni acted as if it was a love tap lmao.

I did manage to find some stuff on line from the fight network shot in newry and was surprised by the lack of punches to the face while on the ground i guess if ur semi pro u dont want to be bruised going to work on monday

Its hard not to be negative about a lot of things on that show.

They seem to be pulling against everyone who is trying to promote MMA in a sporting light.

FFS the main promoter is like a wannabe cockney gangster on speed!:eek:
and keeps going on about smashing heads etc.etc.. then he says"oh yeah and the girl fight was good too...."

The ring announcer is like something from a sleazy movie where guys fight bare-knuckle to the death in a carpark at night, or the likes.:rolleyes:

And the thing with the two 'bad asses' 'bad boys' (whatever) mouthing off about Baroni, and trying to start a 'spank the yank' chant..that just looked bad:(

I have heard that there has been crowd trouble at some of the events (from Sherdog forum), which is no surprise after seeing those 2 knobs in the ring after Baronis fight.

Its a pity really cus they have some good fighters and could appeal to a wider audience with a different approach. Rant over:D

The ‘New York Badass’ Phil Baroni has decided not to press charges following an assault on him at Wembley Arena on Saturday night, witnessed by millions on live television.

Cage Rage officials have, however, banned the brother of his defeated opponent, Scott Jansen, from attending future fights following the incident at Cage Rage 27 presented by EliteXC.

First, the American banged out plucky Brit Jansen in a blistering battle, which lasted just 3:18 of round one. Then as Baroni went to check on Jansen’s condition, he fended off an attacker that, without warning, headbutted the 32-year-old.

A sanguine Baroni has decided to let the matter rest. “These things happen,” said Baroni. “It must be tough to see a loved one get knocked out like that. Emotions ran high. I want to put this behind me.”

Dave O’Donnell, Cage Rage co-promoter stated, “We launched an immediate investigation into cage-side security and have issued a ban on a member of Scott’s family attending future fights.

“This should not have happened. Baroni has shown a lot of dignity throughout. Many fighters might have responded and escalated the situation.

“It was great to see the guys in the bar after the fight shaking hands and joking.”

His girlfriend should be banned too. Piece of trash.
