Ian Freeman torn on what show to goto on December 9th
This was taken from the forums of CageWarriors:
I have had to make a decision as to which show I am going to work on this coming December 9th.
Cage Rage or Cage Warriors.
Cage Rage are obviously the bigger show and to be honest I get paid more for working at their events.
But, I have chosen to work with Cage Warriors in Nottingham due to Dougie asking me to work on his shows before Cage Rage did and I promised then that I would not leave him out to dry if the ever such thing happened like date clashes.
I would like to say that Dave O'Donnel was very understanding and did agree that Dougie hired me first.
What I do find interesting though, is the word has got around that I won't be at CR on the 9th and I have had e-mails from many people who normally attend CR asking where to buy tickets for CW. I have forward them the CW website and Ian Deans e-mail or number.
Coincidence or are they Machine fans… I hope it's the latter.
No matter which show you go to, I am sure it will be great night by all…. only you'll miss me if you go to CR……
Im really gutted that events double book. Companies such as Cage Rage and Cage Warriors should help each other in the sport not clash. At least Ian is a man of his word.
