Freeman Felt 10 Years Younger in Cage Rage Victory
Saturday at Cage Rage in London, 43-year old “Machine” Ian Freeman (19-7-1) recaptured the promotion’s light heavyweight title from Liverpudian kickboxer Paul Cahoon (10-11).
Freeman, a former UFC fighter, dominated the mat match with G’n'P to take a unanimous decision.
The Cage Rage welterweight title was also wrapped around a new waist.
Che Mills (6-1) forced a doctor’s stoppage TKO of Marius Zaromskis (7-2) after cutting the Lithuanian’s eyelid.
