Paul Cahoon (born 13 July 1975) is an English[1] former professional mixed martial artist and boxer. A professional MMA competitor from 1998 until 2010, he competed for Cage Rage, World Victory Road, UCMMA, RINGS, and M-1 Global. Cahoon is currently wanted by British police for his alleged involvement as a leader of organised crime, as a leader of a gang dealing in cocaine and methamphetamine.

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Early career[edit]

With a background in boxing and a prolific street fighter, Cahoon made his professional MMA debut in October 1998. After starting out 0-3, Cahoon rebounded with a win over Dutch fighter Joop Kasteel after knocking him out with a punch four minutes into the second round.

Cage Rage[edit]

After losing to Melvin Manhoef in a 2005 rematch, Cahoon went on a four-fight winning streak. Cahoon next faced former UFC title contender Elvis Sinosic at Cage Rage 24 on 1 December 2007. Cahoon knocked out Sinosic with a punch just 21 seconds into the fight, earning him a British Light Heavyweight title shot against fellow British fan-favorite Ian Freeman.

Cahoon faced Freeman at Cage Rage 26 on 10 May 2008. Cahoon lost via unanimous decision.

World Victory Road[edit]

Cahoon next signed with World Victory Road in Japan. He made his promotional debut at World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku 5 on 28 September 2008 against UFC and PRIDE veteran Kazuhiro Nakamura. Cahoon lost via unanimous decision. Later, the promotion fell out and Cahoon returned to the regional British circuit.

Independent promotions[edit]

After losing to Nakamura, Cahoon won his last three fights before retiring.

Personal life[edit]

In 2018, Cahoon was wanted by Liverpool police for his alleged involvement as a gang leader, after raids done in North West and South Wales found money laundering equipment, stolen jet skis, and other illegal contraband. The gang was allegedly involved in extensive drug dealing of cocaine and methamphetamine.[2]
