On February 10, 2007 it was announced by the United Kingdom's Cage Rage promotion - the biggest MMA group in Europe - that Bob Sapp would appear on its Cage Rage 21 event on April 21, facing Robert "Buzz" Berry.
The move is partly a retaliatory one, as the UFC had chosen to run its first British show in years that same night at the Manchester Evening News Arena, headlined by Mirko Cro Cop, Tito Ortiz and British star (and one-time Cage Rage competitor) Michael Bisping.
Though Cage Rage promoter Andy Geer said that the UFC show would not affect ticket sales for CR21, the signing of Sapp was a clear sign that the company knew it would need a superstar draw in order to successfully compete with the American promotion.
Anything with Bob Sapp is usually good for a laugh so I've included a couple of video clips with "The Beast" Bob Sapp:
Here is the Cage Rage 21 - Judgement Day - promotional trailer.
