I remember first seeing him on cage rage commentating and presenting also a sky one show as a presenter in britains hardest and thinking he's a wannabe hard man. Oh how wrong was i when i learned more about him and seen his ufc fights 😬 truly a machine if he started younger he'd have been a champ 💯
Read your book when it came out Watched this fight allways wonderd where u were nowadays .Glade u r Going forward in a positive way stay healthy and happy
He always clapped for his opponents in the ring. True Gentleman. Ian presented the TV show: 'Britain's Hardest' and Mark Weir was a contestant on the show.
What a BEAST this dude was. And an incredible human. Him speaking about his father there getting cancer before the fight had me in the feels there for a min😮. Doin that to young Frank Mir👍🏻
Kinell I remember watching the Brawl From the Albert Hall on Bravo I used to love the UFC back then. It's over saturated now, more of a sports league with too many athletes, not enough real fighters I still watch it, but the magic has gone
First brit to compete in the UFC and first person to beat Frank Mir is a hell of a resume, a real pioneer
Dude was fighting 5-7 times a year when he started out. Pretty incredible.
This is an extraordinary man Ian is. It's awesome what he has done and continues to do. Great that the UFC recognized him with this show.
Ian freeman is a legend
Amazing story, your dad would be proud as a dad could be Ian
Apart from being a world class fighter what a lovely bloke

Never forget the fight against Mir. That was awesome. Ian seems like a super nice guy.

It is crazy that he learned how to fight in 2 years from age 18-20. His first fight at 31.
I remember watching when he beat frank mir, been to a few of his shows over the years.. Ian is a legend.

Salt of the earth fella and total savage from the North East.

What a man a role model , a legend but some idiots look on ex drug taxes and bully's as role models which shows the level of their intelligence.
I wouldn't want to fight the Machine now!😂
Amazing story .. not appreciate enough
Morals of being a good person. Tax evasion court case.
