Haha gas walkout. Serious knee to the gut, impressive win.

Can't find the Rys McKee, Lloyd Manning, James Gallagher or Cian Cowley fights in the prelims, were they on earlier? 'Tis a pity because I would have liked to see them!

Went and watched the prelimes wanted to see Cowleys MMA debut,went as expected grapple ****ed,


Rhys McKee is a serious prospect teriffic fighter his head kick was like a crocop kick slept the guy,


James Gallagher won again easily hes the best grappler in the country at his age 19 only kid is going all the way to the top,


Tuke is a very unorthodox striker vicious style hard to train for starched Andrews great win another serious prospect,



The show was moving swiftly soon as they started taking the piss with the breaks I left got home for the Damien Rooney fight and the UFC london main card so cant complain.

I've never seen James at any BJJ comps. Is he a purple belt?

Seems a good talent alright from the few fights I've seen of him. I like B Moore a bit more though although a good bit older.

There is not a person at 19 years of age that would beat him in mma or grappling in the gi,he taps out sbg brown and black belts the guy is a phenom and Ive no connection with him or his club what so ever,hes living with Kavangh as far as I know since hes 15 or 16.

Just because he taps Brown and Black belts dosnt mean hes the best grappler at his age in Ireland. I'm a Blue belt and have tapped Brown and Black Belts before but that doesnt mean a think.

Id argue that there are lots of guys winning European medals(both GI and no GI) at purple belt from ireland who are around 18/19/20 years of age, not to mention the top class blue belts coming through winning golds at pretty much every European competition they attend

Name one person you think would beat him in pure grappling at the age of 19 so?I compete and will be doing so tomorrow in cork so Im sure I know of them if they are any good,he would have sex with any bluebelt in the country at his weigh its not even debateble.

I don't know the chap myself, what weight does he compete at in GI? I assume he dosnt cut as much as for a fight?

Like I said I've never seen him at a BJJ comp myself so haven't seen him in a GI. It's just that it's a big statement to make that he's by far the best grappler in the country?(maybe he is though)

Also I really wouldn't like to roll with him myself if he's going to have sex with me

Not sure if he's the same age but Sam McNally would be a name that comes to mind for me as a very good young grappler in Ireland.

Edit: what's the name of the SBG blue belt that pulled off the berimbolo in the cage before Christmas? He looks a tidy fighter/grappler as well but maybe not up to the same level as tonight yet.

That's Lee Hammond and I'm fairly sure he's pulled off two berimbolo's now inside the octagon. He just made the switch recently to MMA and he's another good prospect, definitely known more for his BJJ at this stage though.

BAMMA was brilliant last night, bigger crowd than the last BAMMA I think. Great night of fights, the only negative was the long breaks between some fights. Tuke was impressive as always, he's the best Irish prospect in my opinion, followed closely by Gallagher who looked very good as well.

Very disappointed I missed McKee's fight as I desperately wanted to see it, he's a serious talent too. Hopefully a video becomes available of his KO.

David Haye was cageside doing analysis also, wasn't expecting to see him there.

Thats him. My first fight in my first BJJ comp was against him. He got me in a double lapel choke from standing, never even saw it coming. He's a great talent, with himself a few guys from Team Torres and ECJJ there's some really good blue belts coming through.

I was meant to go myself but money was tight so ended up missing out

Fair play to BAMMA for putting on such a great show, good to see the crowds out for it. A lot of brilliant performances. Tuke and Gallagher have massive futures ahead of them, so composed and skillfull. Great night all round!

Is cians fight on the prelim video a few pages back. Can't seen to see it.
