Fight Promoter Chris Cordeiro Teams Up with UK’s Cage Rage Cage Rage – Britain’s fast growing and leading MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) promotion presented by EliteXC, is being further strengthened by the arrival of a new co-promoter. The vastly experienced Chris Cordeiro joins Dave O’Donnell to head the organization in the UK. Cordeiro, aged 33, from Florida, has masterminded many successful fight promotions in North America, including King of the Cage, his Cordeiro Promotions, and the early days of the International Fight Championships. He has built solid fighter relationships in the USA, Western Europe, Japan, South America, and Russia and is recognised as one of the early pioneers of MMA playing a crucial role in establishing a unified rule book - fundamental to the global growth of the sport. Former Cage Rage promoter Andy Geer has elected to leave the company to concentrate on his other business interests outside the sport. Chris said: “Cage Rage has made great strides to become #1 in the UK and is now the leading European MMA brand and becoming well known around the World. I am hitting the ground running and aim to take it to the next level and ensure that its popularity is converted into major business and brand growth in Britain and Europe.” William Kelly, Chief Operating Officer and head of international of parent company ProElite, Inc., said: “Chris has the necessary skills, experience and drive required to take over.
