Cage Wars Championship / Cage Contender

It has been announced that Ireland’s popular Cage Contender show will become the official feeder show for Cage Wars Championship. It will work quite simply, any Irish fighter wanting to join the Cage Wars roster must come through a Cage Contender show first!!!

“We are pleased to have struck a deal with Patrick Mooney and Chris Kelly of CWC. They are a truly International brand and with us now the largest domestic brand in Ireland the deal makes perfect sense. Irish fighters wanting to join the roster of an International show must first compete in the top domestic show.” (John Ferguson, Cage Contender)

At least one fighter from each Cage Contender show will be chosen to compete at Cage Wars. This will give the talent scouts from CWC the perfect chance to see the best up and coming talent close up

“Cage Wars Championship is delighted to be working with John and his team at Cage Contender. The professionalism and high production values that Cage Contender has shown are very much in line with the high standards that we set for ourselves at CWC. I am sure that this will be a long running and mutually beneficial relationship between two great MMA brands.” (Chris Kelly, Cage Wars Championship)

This is an interesting development for Irish MMA and yet another jump in the rapid growth of Cage Contender.

Man with genitals in pipe

A man who went to casualty with his penis stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by firefighters using a metal grinder.
Medics at Southampton General Hospital could not get the man's penis out of the stainless steel pipe because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become aroused, so they called in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.
They turned up with a special equipment unit from St Mary's station in Southampton and seven firefighters to help in what a spokesman said was a "delicate operation". The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch grinder to cut the pipe from around the man's penis and it took about 30 minutes. The patient was given an anaesthetic and his penis was left bruised and swollen but otherwise unharmed. The anxious man, aged about 40, gave hospital staff no explanation about how the pipe got stuck after he turned up on Tuesday morning. A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Initially the crew did not have the appropriate cutting equipment to free the man. "It was a very delicate operation that required a very steady hand and the crew was worried about things getting too hot during the cutting. "It's certainly an unusual call-out and I'm sure the man won't be getting into that situation again."
