International Fight.

John Donnelly Team Ryano (Ireland) V Dustin West (USA) in a 77kg welterweight match up,

All the way from the US comes Dustin West straight out of fighting on strikeforce in april and now coming to fullfill a dream of fighting on Irish soil on the Rumble in Rush 5, Dustin is coming to holiday here and what better way to spend your holiday than throwing down in front of a load of crazy irish fans!!

Both men are strikers 1st and well rounded so this could be amazing, also a major chance for John to get Strikeforce to take an interest in him so bith men will really want the W in this match up..

Performance Martial Arts

That's great news Paul! Turning out to be another good fight card and another cracking nite of mma!!! Well done

Wow big fight!

John Donnellys opponent pulled off a 9 second KO win last night on strikeforce so will be confident coming into the main event fight, great chance for John also to make a name for himself, tickets on sale by the way

Doors open 7pm
1st fight 7.30 sharp
No breaks or time wasting on the Rumble
As ya know i cant tell a finish time but it could end quick if lots of fights stopped which could happen with new rules but with matches been well matched i expect some wars!
Hope that helps and thanks for the support with the show..

I've had the pleasure of training with neil and the other Rush lads for this fight and I really can't see neil being knocked out at all he's a beast in training and can hold his own with anyone. Should be a good fight!!!!

Everyone highlighted there im fairly sure has the power to KO their opponent. I havent included myself as in the cage my power still hasnt been seen. Havent thrown my hands with the power i have yet.
Just cuz somebody isnt highlighted doesnt mean they dont have the power I just have not seen everyone on the card fight.
Lookin forward to this card. Probably the best Rumble card yet. Great mix of experience on the card.
Is Phil and Adrius' fight called off?(excuse the spelling error)
Also is that gonna be the running order?

Im in England that weekend and gutted I wont see the fight.

Hope somebody records it.

James via Suprise, round 2

cowzerp

The fight card will be running pretty much in this order, as always it could be subject to change for certain reasons, there is some serious fights on the card and lots that i could not call, thats how i try to match them

Last remaining Tickets are flying out locally so get onto me or fighters asap so you dont miss out

Weigh ins for fighters will be at earliest 6pm Friday so know fighters have extra time to hydrate rest etc than others and fighters have 2 hours to make weight-all weigh ins conducted outside the Dublin weigh in station in Rush must be recorded and will be checked on day of the fight by an appointed person on the day.

Thought this comment (from the comment box in the link) was a bit **** as it's from someone called MMA Ireland. You think with a name like that they would want to say something good about Irish events.

This seems absolutely mad, why in gods name is west scraping the barrel going to fight in a tiny promotion that nobody in world MMA has ever heard of? I looked online to find this is a minute MMA show that gets 200 or 300 folk coming to watch!!! This is just nuts, Wests management cannot have checked this out at all

Jealous airholes thats why-He's fighting the best Ireland has to offer so the promotion is irrelevant, this is not about money for him and all about visiting his heritage and getting a fight in while he's visiting, the man deserves credit for this and the Rumble sells more than any show in Dublin bar CC so they also have there figures wrong.

There is a difference between a show and a promotion. It is down to the personal desire of West and what he wants to do. I am sure a bigger show did offer him a fight but he has turned it down for a reason.

I also don't understand why MMAIreland would come on here and say something that he knows is going to piss people off? I challenge you to put on a show and do better than Rumble

I kinda doubt whoever made the comment is in anyway involved in MMA in Ireland, or even from Ireland at all. Especially given they said they had to look online to learn more about the Rumble in Rush show.

Just back from the weigh ins and all the lads looked in good shape and ready to go!!!! Dustin and john were both ripped so this is gonna be a great show. Best of luck to all the fighters!!!!!

pablohoney87

Anyone weighing in today all looked in top shape while i was there alright. Expected West to be a bit taller but he was absolutely shredded as was Donnelly.
This could be the best Rumble yet. See you guys tomorrow. Hopefully plenty of boardsies will be there

Looking forward to this now, best of luck to everyone!

EDIT - Sorry lads, seems Hitler himself has come back in the spirit of my mother. I won't be tweeting or attending. :mad:

Couldn't make the weigh in's in Rush for some photographs, was in bed with a bug the last few days and didn't want to risk infecting fighters.
