MMA Legend Ian ‘The Machine’ Freeman is returning to the cage to fight Jake ‘Brutal’ Bostwick for the UCMMA UK1 Light Heavyweight Belt.
This will be Ian Freeman’s first ever K1 bout and he said – “I’m returning to the cage to prove myself as a stand up fighter”
At 43 years old and renowned for his ground and pound, it will be interesting to see how Ian Freeman adjusts to K1 style fighting. Saying that, with his vast experience and determination to win the belt and hold on to it, I’m sure he’ll be up for the challenge against the young and talented Jake Bostwick.
When asked about the fight, Ian Freeman confidently replied – “Everyone knows I have heavy hands – I’d be very surprised if this fight went the distance. When I win this belt, I’m prepared to defend it.”
20 year old Jake Bostwick has only ever had 1 K1 bout, in which he lost to Alex Reid. There was no way he was going to turn down the opportunity to fight one of his childhood heroes. Jake went on to explain how he wanted to finish the fight -
“Keep your hands up, because I’m going for the knock out! I’m grabbing this opportunity with both hands. I’m the younger, stronger man and that’ll be a main factor. His chin is getting weaker – I’m getting stronger.”
I can’t wait for this fight, and to see an MMA legend can’t be missed. What do you think will be the outcome of this fight? Let us know by posting below.

ive always been a massive fan of Ian Freeman and i truelly expect Ian to stop Jake,no dissrespect to Jake,i just think he’s over his head in this fight.
It would be nice to see Ian win, but I don’t know man.
I think Ian will destroy Jake in this one, nothing against Jake, but I think Ian is well out of his league. Freeman by 1 round Ko.
Its should be a great fight and can’t wait to see the machine back in action!!
jake to win i think if jake doesn’t move in and rushes like he has done recently i think if he he land a few shots to freemans jaw then its gna be all over.. but its gonna be a quality fight cant wait to be there.
Should be a great fight. Which ever way it goes, it will be an exciting fight to watch.
I have all faith in Jake and i think will surprise everyone…..You go Jake!!! show them what you are made of……;)
Go Jake show em how it’s done, the family are behind you.
