    as you said, loads of good stuff coming up, but for me, it has to be Sherk and BJ

    yeah this is a great fight but what about Roddy vs Amin El Allali?? :D:D

    looking forward to Hughes return, too many people saying hes past it!! he just couldnt pass GSP, as most know hes from a wrestling background, but so was koscheck and he got whooped by GSP too, id not dis him for losing to GSP even his 2 losses to him, i still think he has lots to give, maybe 2 or 3 more big fights after his return against Alves...

    The iminent return of Fred Ettish!

    I'm really looking forward to BJ/Sherk and Hughes/Alves. Alvarez/Hansen will be a great fight too. Ortiz/Machida is an interesting fight, for both guys. And as always, looking forward to see Wandy back in action.

    BJ/Sherk because i am really curious to see what Sherk does.

    Wandy/Jardine because i reckon Jardine has what it takes once he doesn't do anything silly like sit inside.

    Davis/Swick because someone is getting knocked the **** out.

    i think itl be swick, marcus has heavy heavy hands....and if my eyes the only person who can properly "box" in the whole ufc..yeah some of them have heavy hands and can punch, but to me hes the best out and out boxer there..

    Internationally, yeah it's gotta be BJ vs Sherk. Locally I reckon Seery vs McCombe will be a war.

    they both have the same style though..take it to the ground, ground and pound and then if it aint stopped possibly throw an armbar or RNC if available, i think itl end quickly or theyll cancell each other out, pity im in Madrid that day....hmmmm sun, yes please :D

    I really hope YAMMA are able to make this happen

    For me it has to be Greg Loughran vs Alan Hannon, while I'm obviously partisan, I still think this match will rock the most.

    As a wish list, and I apologise for going off-topic, I'd like to see Rod Moore vs the Red Baron again, possibly with John on home ground, he never really got off the starting blocks. Couple more fights for John in the UK possibly then bring Rodney to ROT for a re-match if he is willing, I was expecting an awesome battle that day, but I think a rematch would realise that expectation.

    Is John Donnelly the red baron? :)

    Big fights I want to see this year

    Bj and Sherk
    Anderson Silva and Roy Jones
    Fedor and Randy

    Tim Murphy and Owen Roddy 2
    John donnelly and Rod Moore
    Aidan Marron versus any top LW

    Yep - John wants to be known in-ring as the Red Baron, or at least thats how I announced him at his request at the last EFR.

    The problem I see with Myrphy vs Roddy is that one of them would have to lose! Both these guys are making names for themselves and I'd like to see them do it at the expense of foreign fighters, as Owen is already doing and Tim will shortly be joining him. No doubt it would be one for the fans though!

    While i see where your coming from the simple fact is that this fight HAS to happen. The first one is up there as one of my favourite fights ever.... i need another fix!:D

    John Donnely v liam shannon would be a great encounter,liam has been gaining experience on the uk circuit and has a style that would match up well with Johns

    Greg loughran v alan hannon is one i cant wait to see,but could be upstaged by Seery v McCombe on EFR 13

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,799 ✭✭✭Clive


    Cage Rage Contenders this Saturday, then EFR 13 two weeks later.

    I don't really care too much about any of the foreign shows at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭RearNakedJim


    I agree with clive, CRC and EFR shows coming up have fantastic cards, fair play to John and Davey.
