Who is Cage Rage’s real Bad Man? Head to Head Interview with Jason 'Bad Ass' Barrett
by Jimmy Boogaloo
- Jimmy Boogaloo/Team IronLife.com: Is it alright to tell us a bit about your fighting background?
Jason 'Bad Ass' Barrett: Essentially, what happened was, I was in Hatton Gardens buying some jewelry, you know, because the bad ass always likes to be in the finally jewels just Bling Bling it, and I met Lee Murray… he was getting some stuff made as well. So, we’ve got into a conversation and he was telling me about being a cage fighter, so on and so forth, it was probably about 5 years ago… So I said, ‘You know what, I’d really like to start training’, so we met up about a week later in a place called Eltham Warriors. It’s a Thai boxing club and that’s basically where I started off… started from there.
- What’s the first time you’ve ever knocked anybody out?
My first knock out… in the ring (falls about laughing) was probably about three years ago in a Thai boxing match that I had up in Birmingham… and I fought a guy up there, I think it was second round … Knock Out!... But it was still amateur rules, we had the head guard on, and we had shins on, but the Bad Ass’s power… ‘Booom!’ just went straight through all of that and just ironed him straight out.
(Jason voices suspicions that his opponent, Mindaugas Arbocius, was too scared to turn up to the weigh in.)
