What does Baroni have to say about the headbutt heard round the World?
After Phil Baroni defeated Scott Jansen via 1st round KO this weekend at Cage Rage 27, Jansen's brother came into the ring to check on Jansen and when Baroni walked over, the brother attempted to hit Baroni with a headbutt.
Phil Baroni had this to say about the attack:
"These things happen. It must be tough to see a loved one get knocked out like that. Emotions ran high. I want to put this behind me."
Cage Rage co-promoter Dave O'Donnell had this to say about the punishment served down on Jansen and his brother:
"We launched an immediate investigation into cage-side security and have issued a ban on a member of Scott's family attending future fights."
"This should not have happened. Baroni has shown a lot of dignity throughout. Many fighters might have responded and escalated the situation.
"It was great to see the guys in the bar after the fight shaking hands and joking."
