    Wow. That'll be great! Thought Chris would be lighter but he must have gotten bigger.

    He has fought at LW but was also King of the Cage world MW champ twice!

    Nice step up in levels for Cathal...Chris has lost 4/5 recently and is a big name to put on his record !!!

    Sounds good:D! How about Tom Maguire vs Greg Loughran that match has been waiting to happen for a while. Havent seen Chris Fields in a while would like to see how he matches up against Jake Hecht :pac:.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 221 ✭✭Tito Ortiz

    man, jake and chris is a fight i'd love to see! both awesome fighters. been very impressed with the fights I've seen of Jake since he's come over, the dude is super talented.

    Saw Chris against Mario Staple in Cork and he was doing well until Mario's injury.

    That'd be a great fight to see!

    I believe Chris is signed with another organisation folks not sure if would be possible - would LOVE to see it!

    As far as I know he is able to fight for CC as long as he is defending his title.
    Would be a great fight on CC or CW when they come to Dublin in May

    Cathal "The Punisher" Pendred (SBGi) v Chris "The Westside Strangler" Brennan (Next Generation)


    Would not have imagined this fight. I suppose the smart money has to go on Chris

    Would be some scalp for cathal and would open some eyes. Wish him all the best

    :D:D

    I think Cathal has to be favourite for this to be honest. Chris hasn't fought in two years and hasn't won in 4. He has competed against some seriously top notch competition though and this should be a great fight and would be a great win for Cathal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 92 ✭✭mcdermott


    what a fight to start with there...

    can you keep that standard for the rest of the card now John lol

    great work sir, worth the entry fee alone for that one

    Wow just looking back over Chris's record and never realised he'd fought McKee. Great fight John, congratulations. Any idea where it'll take place?

    john seems to be avoiding commenting on jake hecht vs chris fields for some reason. i would have thought this would be a big crowd puller

    I don't want to comment on a fight where both guys are contracted to another promotion.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19 trev77

    I know what the situation is with Chris, and I haven't asked about Jake. The fight is not of interest to me for this event.

    ah well, hopefully cage warriors will put it on so

    Chris's age will be a disadvantage but his experience will compensate for this. Cathal's size will be his advantage along with his youth. In terms of conditioning, it will probably be fairly even, despite chris's lay off and age, he is basically a fitness coach (afaik).

    Cathal's strengths are beating people up in the clinch and on the ground. I'm not sure if he'll be confident enough to try and beat Chris up from chris's guard, Chris has kimura's from literally every position on the ground. Cathal's camp will be weary of this, so I predict them trying to keep it standing and win the decision.


    If Chris can take Cathal down I think he'll submit him within a minute.

    its an honor for me to have one of my guys fight chris. he was actually the first guy i learned 'proper' no gi jits and mma from when i went to the states back in 2000 for the first time (along with david jones who went on to set up NG with chris here).
    i've trained with chris many times and he has taught me a lot about the sport, weight cutting etc. all that aside he's one of nicest guys i've met in the game, treated us so well when we were over with him. as i've said it'll be an honor to have one of my fighters compete against him, sorta like a star wars jedi apprentice moment :)
