Ian Freeman is our most famous MMA fighter and Britain’s leading UFC veteran, with a devastating win over UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir on his impressive fight CV. Building on his reputation, Ian has made a successful transition into the entertainment world, working on prime time shows ‘Britain’s Hardest’ and ‘Celebrity Wrestling’ and now providing the in-depth technical analysis for ‘Cage Rage’ on Men and Motors. Those that know Ian will tell you that he is also an incredibly funny man, with a well-received stand-up routine. 
Working on Sucker Punch with actors like Gordon Alexander and Danny John Jules has been a great experience for me. Not only is Gordon a great actor, but he is fantastic fighter too. Danny is so funny in this movie and you never know what he was going to do next. Laugh a minute with some real class action.
The best thing Ian did was convince me to cast him as Maitland, as he brings a natural sense of power and authority to the role. Although he is now a television veteran, this is his first acting role and he has risen to the challenge and given us a truly memorable villain. He learns very quickly and was soon making astute observations about his character and I firmly believe that this film will be a springboard to greater things for him. Those that simply think of Ian as a great fighter will be shocked at his screen presence and acting ability and those of us working with him can vouch for his wicked sense of humour.
