Fairclough Breaks Hand, Bout Withdrawn From Cage Rage 26

Posted by Rob Curry

Scot Fairclough has been forced to withdraw from his Light Heavy Weight bout against Roman Webber at this Saturdays Cage Rage 26: Extreme.

Fairclough sustained a broken hand during training and due to the timescale no opponent could be found to face Webber, and as a result the entire fight is off the card.

Speaking to MMA Weekly Webber stated:

“Dave called me earlier and let me know the news. It’s a shame that I am not fighting on the card now as I was really looking forward to it. I have trained really hard for this one, but these things happen, and have to me in the past, so I know what it’s like................I know they have been ringing round to find someone, but because it’s so late in the day, it hasn’t been successful. There are guys out there in the division, but aren’t necessarily peaked and ready to go.”

The card for Rage 26: Extreme currently stands as follows:

Ian Freeman Vs. Paul Cahoon (Light Heavyweight Championship)
Ch'e Mills Vs. Marios Zaromskis
Rodney Faverus Vs. James Zikic
Ross Mason Vs. Ross Pointon
