Plus it has Shoji, Matsui, Lindland, "Buscape", and Anderson Silva. I hope I get to see this one.
LONDON, Nov. 4 — Sherdog.com can reveal that a bout between Vitor Belfort and Antony Rea has just been confirmed for Cage Rage 14, scheduled for the Wembley Conference Centre on December 3.
Speaking exclusively with Sherdog, Cage Rage co-promoter Dave O'Donnell confirmed two further star-studded bouts, with PRIDE fixture Akira Shoji taking on UFC veteran Mark Weir and Luiz Firmino, from the Brazilian Top Team, taking on the Capital City Fighting Alliance's Tyrone Glover. The participants of the latter match are fighting for a place at a forthcoming Bushido show.
In other big news, Cage Rage continues to attract more attention from the mainstream UK media. Front, a popular magazine aimed at men, will be running a four-page article covering Cage Rage 13 in its December edition. The February edition of the same magazine will be running a six-page article on how MMA training compares with a conventional gym workout.
Their plucky reporter is currently suffering from injuries sustained whilst training at the Elite gym in South London.
Cage Rage 14 has seen a couple of changes from the card previously advertised. The latest version is:
Vitor Belfort vs Antony Rea
Curtis Stout vs. Anderson Silva
Akira Shoji vs Mark Weir
Tyrone Glover vs. Luiz Firmino
Alex Reid vs Daijiro Matsui
Matt Lindland vs Antonio Schembri
Mark Epstein vs Brian Adams
Sol Gilbert vs Xavier Foupa-Pokam
Brad Pickett vs. Robbie Oliver
Robert Berry vs. Marc Goddard
Dean Bray vs. Nigel Whitear
Dave Legeno vs. Alan Murdock
Ross Mason vs Darren Guisha
Ryan White vs Mark Buchanan
Paul Daley vs Joey Van Wanrooy

Well I've got my ticket now - paid extra and went for one of the highest priced tickets, and now that it's here it turns out I've got a front row seat!!
Got the hotel booked for the night, and I'm all set. Man I am so excited you wouldn't believe! Only downside is it's almost a 5 hour journey there, and then 5 back the next day. 15 fights! I can see why the doors open at 5pm and the event starts at 5.30pm
So the fighters from this card that I have seen fight before are Belfort, Weir, Lindland, and Silva.
Who else should I look out for that anyone here has seen fight? Jonny mentioned Tyrone Glover. What about Schembri? I checked his record and he is 3-3-0 all in Pride, anyone seen him fight?
