Conor is dropping to 66kg.

Joe.S

Shame would be a great fight tho

Mrs Lynch

At 66 Conor will be fighting Paddy Doherty which should be great fight and Paddy packs loads of experience

Id like to see him against Ben Davis too could be great fight for Irish fans

WELTERWEIGHT

Kieran Davern (Tuatha De Danann) v Mathew Mullan (Dog Pound)

John Ferguson

Vinnie Di Ruscio is out due to a broken wrist.

Philpott v Higgins is also off, Rodney has pulled Alan from the fight and banned him from IMMA for 3 months due to fighting in the street, which is a real shame because I reckon that it had FOTN written all over it
