    Mear,

    There's shows in Belfast quite regularly, UFN is for amateurs and Cage Wars for those with some more experience.

    The next UFN is on at the end of October. Hallowe'en Bash II.

    Where do you train man?

    I train in JiuJitsu up in Blanchardstown.
    How much do those events cost to watch?

    The Belfast shows are usually 15 or 20 sterling, not sure how much Kav will charge for ROT

    Why don't you chance your luck on the amatuer stage. You should chance your luck in the Irish amatuer MMA league down in Cork in September. I'll be down there - The info is on Mark Leonard's site: http://www.nuigalwaytkd.com/mma/

    See how you get on.
