Cage Rage this weekend

I'll be making the regular three-monthly train journey down to old London town this weekend for a feast of fistic action. Cage Rage have lined up another card featuring a mix of new and emerging talent, old school names and your occasional oddity, and I'll be cage side to report on it for the magazine.

Cage Rage are a Marmite-like product. You tend to either love them or hate them. Some people don't like the presentation, while some question their unique aproach to match making. I don't really pay too much mid to this, instead looking beyond it to focus on what matters, namely the fights.

I've been lucky enough to have been ringside for the majority of Cage Rage's live events over the last few years, and I can honestly say I've seen some of the best fights of my life take place there. I've seen fighters there that have gone on to rule the world in other promotions (Anderson Silva, JZ Calvancanti). In the past they've brought in some of the world's biggest names to sell their shows and this weekend is no different. We'll see Ken Shamrock take on Buzz Berry in a heavyweight fight. Sure it's not exactly a mouth watering prospect, but you know what? I don't care. I'm going to meet a guy who is a true legend in the sport, and I'm going to get to watch him fight. Sweet.
