LONDON -- "New York Badass" Phil Baroni (Pictures) went some way to resurrecting his career Saturday night, with his impressive three-minute destruction of the game, but significantly overmatched Brit Scott Jansen (Pictures) at Cage Rage 27 "Step Up" inside the Wembley Arena. In his first fight at welterweight, Baroni -- who'd spent his entire career at 185 pounds -- imposed his will from the start and scored with a solid takedown. Working from side control, the American came very close to sealing an early finish with a tight straight armbar in which he appeared to hyper-extend Jansen's arm.

Baroni was unable to finish and following a standup by the referee, he reverted to his bread-and-butter attack. After a brutal right to the body, Baroni switched upstairs immediately, landing a haymaker of a right hand on Jansen's chin. Jansen dropped heavily, his head bouncing off the floor.

Afterward, Baroni went to check on Jansen and was blindsided by a friend of the flattened fighter that had made his way into the cage with the Brit's cornermen. Holding up his hands to fend off a headbutt, the Baroni kept his cool and the encounter didn't escalate.

"It took a lot of courage to get in here," Baroni said, rebounding from three back-to-back losses. "I had a lot of doubts going in here, but I erased them with that right hand. I feel really lucky to have this opportunity."

His debut bout at 170 pounds now under his belt, the Las Vegas resident looked to his next challenge.

"Who's next?" asked Baroni. "Who's the next best guy? I want to meet him. I've fought the best in the world, up a weight, now I'm at my natural weight, I'm where I should be. I'm starting from the bottom and I'm going to prove that I've still got what it takes."

South African heavyweight Neil Grove (Pictures) fulfilled his promise of stopping Sunderland fighter Robert "Buzz" Berry some 89 seconds into the second round of their much anticipated rematch. Grove started the fight in unusually cautious fashion, chopping down his opponent with hard low kicks.

Berry appeared to suffer in the standup and as a result bullied Goliath to the mat late in the first round. Unfortunately for Buzz, he was unable to do any real damage.

Early in the second round, Grove landed a hard right hand and a left hook, dropping his opponent and finishing the fight with some heavy shots on the floor in impressive fashion.

Mustapha Al Turk earned the Cage Rage British heavyweight title by taking down and bashing overwhelmed former K-1 fighter James McSweeney (Pictures). After rushing forwards with some stiff jabs, Mustapha took the fight to the floor and quickly made his way to rear mount. An unanswered stream of hellish blows to the head forced an end to the contest after two minutes of action.

After some furious exchanges of punches, Tom Watson (Pictures) appeared determined to take his fight with John Phillips (Pictures) to the floor at every possible opportunity. The Greg Jackson-trained fighter was able to dominate position, landing some brutal strikes and moving into a comfortable lead on the scorecards. Phillips looked determined and capable, but ultimately, any offense was stifled by Watson's tight ground game en route to a comfortable unanimous decision.

Sure Grip Vale Tudo fighter Stav Economou (Pictures) went head to head with Piotr Kusmierz in a rough battle of attrition, both men landing heavy blows in a series of wild exchanges. The fight went back and forth, but "Crazy Bear" Economou was able to score with several slams, even launching his 125 kg (275 lbs) frame in the air to come crashing down on his exhausted Polish opponent. Despite his face showing some significant battle damage, Economou dominated the standup encounter toward bout's end and scored a well-deserved unanimous decision in his Cage Rage debut.

Robbie "The Flame" Olivier defended his Cage Rage British featherweight title as he choked out Pancrase London fighter Ashleigh Grimshaw (Pictures) four minutes into the second round. Grimshaw threatened for much of the first round stalking his opponent and throwing unusual combinations. However, his Tsunami Gym opponent had some successes of his own and scored a solid takedown in the second round, consolidating his advantage by pounding Grimshaw on the mat and eventually sealing victory with a rear-naked choke.

In another featherweight bout, local favorite Brad "One Punch" Pickett gave his supporters an early scare when Italian fighter Cristian Binda (Pictures) rocked him with some brutal left hooks. However, Pickett showed a useful left hook of his own as he knocked his opponent down towards the end of the first round and proceeded to hammer him on the floor. In the second round, Brad Pickett (Pictures) sealed victory with a tight guillotine choke, leaping into the submission after almost three minutes of close action.

Straight Blast Gym representative Aisling "Ash The Bash" Daley delivered another very impressive performance as she dismantled her Czech opponent Eva Lisko in only 78 seconds. Tearing across the cage and straight into the clinch, Ash quickly forced the contest to the floor, where she dominated and finished with a rear-naked choke.

Jason Young (Pictures) and Francis Heagney (Pictures) went to war for three rounds in their clash for the vacant Cage Rage British lightweight title. Heagney dominated the opening stanza, and threatened constantly with a D'Arce and then a guillotine choke. However, the young Titan representative refused to be dominated and controlled position on Heagney for the remaining two rounds, battering the Irish fighter from mount with punches, rightfully earning himself the British championship.

In a very impressive debut performance, Wesley Johnson battered his bewildered opponent Mark Brown, taking him to the floor and smashing him with punches in only 31 seconds.

After a back-and-forth first round where both fighters had their opportunity to finish with punches from the mount, Jody Cottham (Pictures) scored a guillotine victory three minutes into the second round after being pressurized for much of the round on the canvas.

In an exciting opening fight of the night, London Shootfighter Dave Van Gasse (Pictures) survived a hard second round to hammer out and choke James Elson (Pictures) at 3:43 of the third round.
