MMAFighting has a brief but scary entry regarding veteran British welterweight competitor Ross Mason, who was apparently rushed to a hosptital on Friday having been found unconscious in the street in Reddich, Worcestershire, after sustaining "serious head injuries" of unknown origin:

According to Cage Warriors matchmaker Ian Dean, Mason initially died while rushed to the Alexandra Hospital but was resuscitated at the hospital.

Investigations are underway as to why 32-year-old Mason was left in critical condition on the street.

Midland newspaper the Sunday Mercury reports that Mason is in "serious but stable" condition, and had this quote from Andy Lillis, VP of Cage Warriors, for whom Mason has fought in the past:

“He packed out Birmingham NIA the last time he fought there. He really is that popular, he’s like the Ricky Hatton of cage fighting, a solid entertainer who everyone loves to watch.

“Ross is a lovely gentle guy and has never been in trouble. People are in shock and cannot imagine what could have happened to him.

“There were rumours flying around that he’d been stabbed but thankfully they are complete rubbish.

"The Boss" just took a dominant unanimous decision over Scott Jansen three weeks ago at Cage Rage 28. Ross is always an exciting fighter to watch, win or lose, and no doubt has been a cornerstone in the British MMA scene over the past few years. Thoughts and prayers go out to Ross and the Mason family as he starts on his road to recovery.

With three knockouts, three submissions and a dominating decision victory during the broadcast portion of the card, Saturday's "Strikeforce at the Mansion II" did not disappoint. Moments after being floored by a punch from Joe Riggs, Kazuo Misaki struck back with a big right hand that sent Riggs to the canvas. Riggs covered up, but the ensuing flurry of punches from Misaki was enough to prompt ref Josh Rosenthal to bring a halt to the main event of the evening. MMAJunkie has full results:

Jesse Gillespie def. Dave Martin via split decision (27-30, 29-28, 29-28)
Brandon Magana def. Brandon Thatch via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Eric Lawson def. Kenneth Seegrist via submission (rear naked choke) -- Round 1, 3:07
Luke Stewart def. Jesse Juarez via submission (arm bar) -- Round 1, 4:55
Trevor Prangley def. Anthony Ruiz via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-26)

Josh Thomson def. Ashe Bowman via TKO (punches) -- Round 1, 1:14
Kazuo Misaki def. Joe Riggs via TKO (punches) -- Round 2, 2:29

Both Ishida and Thomson, who are expected to meet in a title match at some point in the near future, looked predictably phenomenal against their overmatched opponents. Terry Martin rebounded from his July 19th KO loss with a stunning knockout of his own, flooring Devela in the third frame after arguably dropping the first two rounds. And coming off a ten month hiatus, the 36-year-old Trevor Prangley showcased his wrestling prowess in controlling the rematch with Ruiz from start to end.

MMA Frenzy brings us results from last night's pared down Cage Rage offering, where Brad Pickett ran his current win streak to five straight with a third round TKO against the durable Anastas Jazbutis, and featherweight champ Robbie Olivier looked impressive in a hard fought three-round defense against challenger Leigh Remedios.

CR28 was a decidedly solid showing for the ProElite-owned promotion, but it comes along with the news that popular British heavyweight champ Mustafa Al-Turk inked a multi-fight deal with the UFC and has vacated his title. The venue for this show also looked miniscule on camera; indeed, the Troxy in London maxes out at 2,600 people (and can be scaled down to as few as 150). Cage Rage 27 in July was hosted at Wembley Arena, which has a capacity of 12,500.

Sherdog has weigh-in results for tomorrow's Cage Rage 28 show in London, England, with Leigh Remedios challenging featherweight champ Robbie Olivier.

Roman Webber 101 kg/222.6 lbs vs. James McSweeney 102 kg/224.8 lbs
Antanas Jazbutis 64.5 kg/142 lbs vs. Brad Pickett 65.8 kg/145 lbs
Leigh Remedios 65.8 kg/145 lbs vs. Robbie Olivier 65.8 kg/145 lbs
Ross Mason 77 kg/169.7 lbs vs. Scott Jansen 77 kg/169.7 lbs
Alberto Mina 76.8 kg/169.2 lbs vs. Steve Elliott 76.5 kg/168.6 lbs
Jack Mason 81 kg/178.5 lbs vs. John Hathaway 81.8 kg/180.2 lbs
Michael Pastou 76.5 kg/168.6 lbs vs. Nigel Whitear 77 kg/169.7 lbs
Neil Turner 112 kg/246.4 lbs vs. Steve Hopwood 102 kg/224.8 lbs
Jamaine Facey 80 kg/176 lbs vs. Scott Rogan 79 kg/174.1 lbs
Wesley Johnson 70 kg/154.2 lbs vs. Matt Smith 69 kg/151.8 lbs
Ashley Pollard 122 kg/268.6 lbs vs. Ben Smith 106 kg/233.6 lbs

It's worth noting that the final card is devoid of any higher profile champions or big names, even by Cage Rage standards. Several of the original headliners originally announced are missing, including James Thompson, Ch'e Mills and Ultimate Fighter alum Ross Pointon, and four fighters from August 16th's cancelled Cage Rage Contenders event -- Steve Hopwood, Ben Smith, Jamaine Facey and Steve Elliot -- are now on the card. It doesn't take much imagination to connect the dots with parent company ProElite's ongoing financial woes.

Meanwhile at Hef's house...

Kazuo Misaki (185) vs. Joe Riggs (181.5)
Ashe Bowman (154.5) vs. Josh Thomson (155.5)
Mitsuhiro Ishida (156) vs. Justin Wilcox (155)
Cory Devela (185.5) vs. Terry Martin (185.5)
Trevor Prangley (203) vs. Anthony Ruiz (204)
Jesse Juarez (171) vs. Luke Stewart (169.5)
Eric Lawson (184.5) vs. Kenneth Seegrist (183)
Brandon Magana (172) vs. Brandon Thatch (170.5)
Jesse Gillespie (194) vs. Dave Martin (190.5)

The Thomson/Bowman bout is a non-title affair; also, the "Grabaka Hitman" Misaki will be making just his second appearance on American soil, while former Shooto titlist Ishida is fighting in the US for the first time.

Devela will try to run his winning streak to nine straight against Martin, who was last seen being knocked out in brutal fashion by Vitor Belfort at Affliction's first show. Prangley is a late replacement for Renato "Babalu" Sobral against Ruiz, himself a replacement for light heavyweight champ Bobby Southworth.

The full event will be available to view live and free of charge tomorrow night on Sherdog.com, who will also have a stream of the event available for a full month beginning on Monday.
