Ross Mason in Critical Condition

The following news regarding Ross "The Boss" Mason is from the Cage Warriors forum...

"Contrary to local radio news reports this morning which stated that Ross "The Boss" Mason had died after receiving stab wounds outside a Birmingham Nightclub; we can now announce that these reports were incorrect.

However we are able to confirm that Ross Mason was found in the early hours of this morning with serve head injuries and had initially died as he was taken to Alexandra Hospital in Redditch. However he was resuscitated at the Hospital and is presently in a critical condition in the ICU Unit.

Earlier today Marc Goddard was taken into an office at the Liverpool Olympia and was informed of Ross' death, due to these incorrect media reports. Goddard and his Management then decided he would not fight later tonight at Cage Gladiators, because he wanted to be with Ross' family as they are close personal friends.

Goddard was then taken back to Birmingham only to be told that Ross had not died but was in a "critical state" on a life support machine.

This has only added to Marc's turmoil and it would be an understatement to say that his mind was not connected with fighting at this time.

Everybody at Warrior Promotions and Cage Warriors are deeply saddened by this incident and our thoughts are with Ross, his family and friends during this dreadful ordeal. We also hope he will be able to pull through this and make a full recovery."

MMA Universe would like to express our sincerest symphathies and thoughts to Ross' family at this terrible time.

Key management staff at MMA Universe have had to the pleasure of spending both work and play time with Ross - and he is one of the nicest and most genuine people you could hope to meet. The word 'Gentleman' was created for the Ross' of this World.

We sincerely hope that he recovers quickly from this terible incident and that he is back on his feet before long.

Ross, and his family, our thoughts are with you.
