The most exciting fighters from the no-holds-barred mixed martial arts circuit will be battling it out LIVE on Nuts TV next weekend (JULY 12) when the channel broadcasts the huge Cage Rage 27: Step Up fight night, from Wembley Arena.

The fight card includes the ultimate ‘clash of the titans’ when two of the UK’s biggest fighters battle it out with Geordie Giant Neil ‘Goliath’ Grove taking on Robert ‘Buzz’ Berry. Phil ‘The New York Bad-Ass’ Baroni is topping the fight card against Scott Jansen in a brawl that has already got the whole of the Cage Rage community talking!

London City trader Francis Heagney is also stepping into the cage live on Nuts TV to prove that not all city boys are taking a kicking during the credit crunch, by taking part in a British light weight title fight. Porsche-driving futures trader Heagney said he’s not intimidated by the big fight night at Wembley Arena and his appearance on Nuts TV – because he’s used to dealing with bears and bulls on a daily basis.

Heagney said: “People might think it is odd – but I love the sport. It keeps me super fit and helps me vent all the stress that I soak up at work. To be successful in the City you have to be a winner – I am fiercely competitive and channel all my focus and desire to win to come out of the cage victorious.”

“Fighting at Wembley is the proverbial dream come true for me. I think that the lads in the office will be waging a bob or two on me. Even the boss is coming to see me in action.”

A documentary on Neil Grove, said to be Britain’s hardest man, will follow the live Cage Rage broadcast at 11pm. The show is a unique fly-on-the-wall insight into the UK’s biggest Cage Fighter and is a UK premiere exclusive to Nuts TV.

Joe Talbot, director of programming at Nuts TV, said: “I’m delighted to be bringing live cage fighting to Nuts TV – this is a sport that is growing in popularity around the UK, and the chance to bring this incredible fight card to our viewers is a golden opportunity to raise its profile even further.

“The fighters involved in the event on July 12th are among some of the leading names in the sport, sparks are surely going to fly and we’re in store for a dramatic night’s entertainment!”

The solid Piotor Kusmierz against Stav Economou, a heavy weight British Title fight between James Mcsweeney and Mustapha Alturk and even a feather weight women’s fight between Eva Liskova and Aisling Daley are among the other highlights of the event.

It is the second time Nuts TV has broadcast live sport, following the ratings success from the channel broadcasting the PDC darts US Open earlier this year.

Cage Rage 27: Step Up is being broadcast live on Nuts TV – Freeview channel 42 and Sky guide 207 – from Wembley Arena on July 12th, from 9pm until 11pm.
