Clarification

John Ferguson

Hi folks, this story has come up on www.mmaireland .org and I would like to clarify that it is NOT true. Neither Myles or myself (his manager) have been contacted to check if this story is correct. No contract has been signed with Warrior promotions, and nothing has been mentioned about Bellator. We have no idea where these "facts" have come from and they should be ignored.

However we are hoping that Myles will travel to the USA for a training camp in the near future, and we have been talking to various UK promotions re possible match ups

Hey guys,

John is right we didnt clarify it with him or Myles. We got our information from what we thought was a credible source being The Top Pro Gym Kilkenny Website. You can see the news article below:

To avoid further confusion we have removed the article from the site and can assure you that it was an honest mistake and it will not happen in the future.

Apologies from all at MMAIRELAND.org

Well it does have more relevance than people talking about Jordan and Alex Reid, neither of who are Irish or have anything to do with MMA.

Its all down to courtesy again or the lack of it. Anyone who reads these boards will know fighie's connection with Miles Price and to write an article about him without asking him or his management if the story is true is just lazy.

Although the prompt response from MMAIRELAND.ORG after the issue was raised is to be commended.

This is an open forum? providing you stick to the charter that is?

It was a simple mistake (due to an article on another site). I was just stopping the rumour mill before it got going...
