Power Ranger to fight in cage (http://media.www.siude.com/media/storage/paper1096/news/2007/06/19/OtherSports/Power.Ranger.To.Fight.In.Cage-2916017.shtml)



As one of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Jason David Frank became famous for his work on TV and movies.

He doesn't fight monsters anymore. Now, he fights in a cage.
"I just like to fight," Frank said. "It's always been in my blood."

It's true. Frank has been training in Karate and mixed martial arts since he was 5-years-old and has opened four karate schools.

Now Frank is scheduled to fight against Ron 'The Badger' McMasters June 23 at the Williamson County Pavilion in Marion.

The fight will be one of 14 fights in the Illinois Cage Fighting event.

Former TV star opts out of cage fight (http://media.www.siude.com/media/storage/paper1096/news/2007/06/21/Sports/Power.Ranger.A.No.Show-2917818.shtml?reffeature=recentlycommentedstoriest ab)



Before his scheduled cage match, Jason David Frank -- formerly known as Tommy on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers -- signed autographs. When it came time to fight, though, he was nowhere to be found.


On Saturday, The Williamson County Pavillion held the Illinois Cage Fighting even, showcasing mixed martial arts and kickboxing.


The highlight of the event was supposed to be a fight between Ron "the badger" McMasters and Frank. Unfortunately, this fight never took place.
Jim Thomas, the president of the Fists of Glory, the organization that hosted the event, said Frank thought he would get booed by the crowd because the fight was a non-scoring boxing event instead of a mixed martial arts competition.


"I tried to tell him to stay around and fight, but he just left and blazed," he said.


Before he left, Frank said he expected to fight with mixed martial arts rules, not just boxing. The reason the rules changed was Frank's opponent, Ron 'The Badger' was only trained in boxing.

I would have opted out of the fight too. Signing on for a MMA fight, but then the day of finding out it's a boxing match possibly giving the advantage to my opponent... yeah, I'd probably leave and be a bit ticked off.
