Shocking, right? The Gladiator upped his record to 6-10 with a heel-hook submission of Ross Mason (12-9) at Cage Rage 26, which happened Saturday night in Birmingham, England. It was Pointon's third win in his last 13 fights; though to be honest, every fight that doesn't end with your head looking like this is a moral victory.

More importantly, 41-year-old UFC/Cage Rage vet Ian Freeman came back from a 20-month hiatus to capture the British Light Heavyweight Title for the second time, with a dominating decision victory over Paul Cahoon. Full results are below; videos to come.

Lies like this destroy your journalistic credibility. What's next? "UFC heavyweight division best in world!" yeah, c'mon guys.

I fully expected him to win by "banging, man"...but heel hook...you don't say...

I thought for sure that guy was gonna reopen Ross's forhead vagina.....oh well....better luck next time...

Ross Mason, go kill yourself now.

The silliest thing was that Pointon went around the cage and putting his hands around his waist wanting a title shot...
But props to him for winning, he seemed to have progressed since the last time I saw him!

The most impressive was Freeman's win though, he dominated the whole bout!

ross is tuff, i will give him that. Hes one of those guys that might not be a great technical fighter, but i would hate to meet him in a streetfight.
