Pointon returns at Cage Rage UK 23
Sep 15, 2011 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Cage Rage UK 23 takes place this Saturday from
the Troxy in London and, as well as three titles to contest for,
the card also features another chance to see TUF 3 veteran Ross
"The Gladiator" Pointon in action.
The Gladiator meets the always dangerous Jamaine "Mr Pain" Facey in a welterweight showdown that is a very heavy favourite to take fight of the night honours.
"Jamaine
Facey will be at the wrong place at the wrong time, this is the
most important fight in my career. Facey stands between me and that
title shot and I won't be letting him stand in my way for long" -
Ross
Pointon
Pointon has raised the bar with his preparation and has continued to build on the his time at the American Kickboxing Academy by cementing his skills and increasing his relentless workrate in this camp.
"I’m happy to stand with him, will he be happy to stand with me? I plan to finish in the 1st round." - Jamaine Facey
Facey, however, will have a point to prove after coming up short in his last outing against welterweight champion John Maguire.
The writing seems on the wall for the Bandogs leader who will surely know that anything less than a decisive win simply won't cut it.
Pointon vs. Facey has the all the potential to be a heart stopping welterweight encounter as it seems unlikely that either man will want to take the fight to the floor as the battle for the number one contender spot hots up at Cage Rage UK.

Both Pointon and Facey will go into this bout knowing that the
winner would be catapulted into title contention and a decisive win
