I'd be shocked if Arni does not win as he's good and has youth on his side, Chris has been inactive and has only had 1 fight since 2007, plus he's was really a lightweight when in proper shape, he's 39 and has lost 4 of his last 5 i know he's fought up at Middle too but he is only a small guy, in shape he's a light weight

My point is,

Ok Arni is young and has the experience and has talent to go with it,but my big fear would be form Arni is that he goes in like a bull in a china shop gases out as this has happened on meny times before.

I just think Chris has the cage know how submission skills to go with it saying that lets see if he has the legs and the gas tank,

Regards.

Thanks Jason

We are trying to create a balance on our main cards of fights involving well known names but still showing off some of the best talent from here in Ireland.

The prelim cards featuring some novice pro and some semi pro guys is our way of bringing fighters through to the main cards.

Gunnar Nelson talks to The Fight Lounge about his return to the sport in Feb at Cage Contender:

We revealed the news last week that Gunnar Nelson would be returning to action in February at Cage Contender in Ireland. The Icelandic prospect visited The Fight Lounge to answer a few questions.

Regarded by many fans and fellow fighters as the brightest prospect Europe has to offer, Gunnar Nelson has left jaws wide open with his outstanding displays of grappling in past bouts.

Now, after sixteen months since defeating Eugene Fadiora at BAMMA 4, Nelson is set to return, as the undefeated mixed martial artist is booked to headline Cage Contender 12 –

Can't wait for Marius Lapenas v John Michael Shiel, similiar experience, both unbeaten. All Shiel's wins are by TKO except one submission from strikes

Not sure when he will be back in action elsewhere but we plan to see him defend his Cage Contender title on July 21st in Dublin.

Yea, well spotted!

Maybe he changed his name, never talk to strangers!

El Guapo! · 11-01-2012 8:35pm

There's also a "T" missing in Tallaght, but I suppose it's not the first thing to go missing in Tallaght! :pac:

canonball5 · 11-01-2012 9:26pm

They also stole the "I" in Kieran!!

pablohoney87 · 11-01-2012 10:59pm

and left a "ruary" outta february

John Ferguson · 11-01-2012 11:35pm

So we have all worked out that spelling isn't our strong point, it looks like it's just as well that we don't need to be able to spell to put together ****ing awesome fight cards

Note to self: must start proof reading the posters

MrStuffins · 12-01-2012 4:44am

Also, there's 4 question marks in "? ? ? ?"

Ian Whelan · 16-01-2012 5:31pm

Any update on this? I assume it will be tough to get someone to fight Nelson now, i.e. with only 5 weeks notice.
