After the success our first show The Fight Before Christmas, we're putting on another high quality show for the MMA fans of Dublin!:pac:

C (MMA gloves, no headshots grounded)
B (Pro rules)

Details of ticketing and venue etc. will be finalised in the next couple of weeks.

wetdogsmell

is there any a class pro fights on

Roper

Yup I just don't need to advertise for those on forums

Should be two or 3 A class. Looking good already.

Judomad

ragin i wont be here for this, would have been nice to do what u texted me about lol

Jason Mc

same date as our next show barry so best of luck with it

Martin Walker

im pretty sure it wont be the last time that two shows clash this year.

Roper

Jason,

We moved our show from late May as I have something major going on around that time. It's an unfortunate fact of life that with venue availability etc. that some shows are going to clash. I'm sure the two shows will be great and anyone I can't match up on my show I'll put on to you.

Barry

Jason Mc

Yeah, I don't see issues with our shows being so far apart in distance.

Tottaly different audience pool, there's planty of fighters hitting the scene too so its good for them to get out and get experience on the local level

OMCCABE

DCU MMA travelled here as a group for the first one and I gotta say everyone had a great time andthe entire show was awesome. Roper has the gift when it comes to matchmaking for sure and we'll have an even bigger group heading to this one.

With that said Roper you know were to send the first batch of tickets when you get them printed up....complete with attractive ladies again if possible..that was nice.

Hopefully we won't party quite as hard as we did after the last one..the pictures we took tell there own story :P

good stuff barry, that question was'nt meant in a smart way

t-ha

All the best with the show Barry - gutted but I'll be the opposite side of the country that day. The last one was a blast!

Roper

My mouth is watering at the main event I'm close to confirming. I'm waiting on some confirmation for some more great matches but already this is looking like a great card.

So far on the pro card:
Cathal Pendred (SBG) versus Gordon Farrell (KO) 77kgs B class
Straight Blast Gym's Pendred has been making waves in the middleweight division and is now dropping down to the lighter welterweight division. Coming off a 38 second GnP win at the weekend, this will be his first outing at his new weight and he'll face off against Gordon Farrell of KO Martial Arts. Farrell is an experienced Muay Thai fighter with heavy hands and strong clinch. You can expect a war for this one!

Roper

Grant "The Nuisance" Carroll (KO) vs. Hugh McCarthy (DCU MMA) D Class Amateur

McCarthy from Dublin's newest club in DCU takes on the nuisance at a catchweight. If Carroll keeps annoying me, I'll cheer for Hugh. This should be a good match up made all the more interesting by the fact that these two trained together for a month.

Roper

Stephen "The Civil Celebrity" Finlan (KO) vs. Aidan "Carnage" Carney (PBG) 73kgs D Class Amateur

Finlan takes a well earned break from battling the pension levy to take on another foe in Carney, who starred on our last show. This should be a good battle between two guys eager to make their mark in their first step up to head shots.

Roper

Keith "Vengaboy" Pendred (KO) vs. Michael Gallagher (Donegal JJ) 77kgs C Class

Gallgher makes the long journey from Donegal to take on Dublin's own Pendred in a welterweight clash. Both of these guys are looking to rack up another W to their records as they make their march towards the pro ranks. These are two young and hungry fighters, they're sure to want to put on a show for the crowd!

youllneverknow

vengaboy i tuaght it was railway man
i hate you barry lol

guess who its is

Roper

Don't you have a Vengabus to catch?

youllneverknow

its not keith ha ha
is it a ring or cage

muckwarrior

I knew it was you all along grant. Who else could be so illegible!

Roper

In fairness, Keith has a similar grasp of the written word.

youllneverknow

so wwat is it you probably told me already ha

Roper

Hi all,

KO will be moving to a new gym in the very near future and as a result I won't have the time to run a pro show on this date anymore. Boo.

So I've decided to keep the show as a 100% amateur night, with D and C class bouts only on the card. Hooray!

It will still have the same production values, great music, lighting etc. The only thing changing will be the price which will be a cheap and cheerful recession buster!

Tickets will be €20 available from KO Gym in Glasnevin. ring -0858320174 or from the fighters on the card. Even students will be able to afford this one

Hooray for amateur night, boo for C and D.

I actually have you down for a D class fight so you can try it out.

OMCCABE

From the feedback I've got there should be a very strong turnout from the club here in DCU. If that means your looking for more MMA league rules bouts and D class let me know and I'll ask about.

Awesome - can I have Tim in a catchweight D class (lets say... 100kg?). Training is optional.

So definitely no Gary Morris on the card then!!? That sucks!

I was going to say me Vs Gary Morris at D class but this offer from this t-ha character sounds more appealing.

I can totally make 100 kilos on short notice. Lets make it happen.

Nothingcompares

Doesn't Tim and Gary as a main event sound bloody great. 2 people that can bang and submit.

T-ha versus Tim.

That would be something!

Plus I think it'd be funny to lock Gary in the cage with karatekerazy!

Roper

Gary is in Strike and Submit the next night, alas!

MY CHANCE??? Are you some superstar we should all be priviledged to fight?? Seriously, wrong wording or pure ignorance i dont know, but yes I am fighting the following night therefore wont even get to see this show but all the best with it Barry should be a good one!

Easy there Gary, he made an off the cuff comment with the intent of riling you up and you not only took the bait you built a shrine to it!

Roper

You two aren't even fighting on this show and you're ruining my thread!

Tim_Murphy

Barry,

Sorry for riling Gary up on your thread and dragging it off topic.

Best of luck with the show. Obviously I'm not a fan of the D class silliness but I think semi-pro/am shows are great to have. The more of them the better IMO, they really help grow the sport. Fair play.

No problem. I'm sure it's an easy mistake to make when one is a touch riled up.

Perfect fit

Lads ssssssssssshhhhhh before someones hair gets pulled

_oveless

All it'll take is one "ooooh snap" and this thread will go nuclear.

Valmont

Is there such a thing as E class? Full body armor action. I'd love to see someone get a submission with that stuff on.
