Cage Rage 13

Cage Rage 13: No Fear was a mixed martial arts event held by the Cage Rage Championships on September 10, 2005 at the Wembley Conference Centre in London, England.

The card was headlined by a title fight between Vitor Ribeiro and Jean Silva. Also on the card was a fight between Brad Pickett and Ozzy Haluk for the vacant British Featherweight Championship, and Melvin Manhoef and Fabio Piamonte met for the vacant World Light Heavyweight Championship.^[1]

This was also the first event to introduce the 'Open Guard' rule for Cage Rage, which meant that a standing/upper ground fighter can knee, kick, stomp and elbow the head of a bottom ground opponent to prevent stalling on the ground.^[2]
