CLAN WARS 7 - ULSTER HALL,BELFAST 28TH MAY!

IFS.NI

Hi all,

Clan Wars Promotions are proud to announce we will be holding Clan Wars 7 at the Ulster Hall in Belfast on Saturday the 28th of May 2011!


After the huge demand of bringing Clan Wars to Belfast City we have got an exclusive contract agreed with the Ulster Hall Belfast!

Clan Wars have worked extremely hard to bring Irish MMA to the forefront and professionally promote the sport, together with the ISKA Clan Wars have the full sanctioning and backing to be the first MMA event to be approved by the Ulster Hall!

I have been spending months if not over a year behind the scenes in meetings, collecting official paper work a mile long and recieving full backing from Doctors, Ministers, PSNI,Solicitors and council members supporting the Clan Wars show and what we are trying to achieve.

The Ulster Hall is the prime location in Belfast's City Centre for Clan Wars with its famous past Boxing events - the Ulster Hall is known for its roof lifting atmosphere which is perfect for the fantastic fight card that will be lined up for the 28th of May 2011.

Every seat in the Ulster Hall will have the perfect view from every angle into the octagon making this the most assessible and best venue yet for Clan Wars!

There are also bus and train stations close by.

The fight card will be released soon and will have some awesome fights lined up including International fights, Title shots and title defenses.

Standard tickets will be available next week from the Ulster Hall Box Office 028 9033 4455 and priced at £28

There are only limited tickets for this event so there will be no time to delay for one the the best MMA shows in 2011!!

FIGHT CARD WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY

FIGHT CARD SO FAR (SUBJECT TO CHANGES)

MAIN EVENT – ISKA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE DEFENSE


Peter ‘Slam’ Duncan (Chum Sut) v Hugh ‘The Quiet Man’ Brady (PHK)

What a main event! These two warriors have proved their worth time and time again. Brady is coming off an impressive victory at Cage Wars and has stepped up to challenge Duncan for the ISKA Title. Peter fought hard to claim the title last year and has no intention of giving it up – this is going to be a war!!


Co Main Event Welterweight ISKA Championship Match


Ronan 'Pay for Gay' Mc Kay (EFR) v Chris ‘The Bad Man’ Mc Donald (Team Dungeon)


After Mike Reid dropping down to the light weight division the welterweight ISKA Irish title is now back up for grabs and what two better fighters to battle it out than Irelands top ranked Welterweight fighter (fight.ie) and MMA veteran Ronan Mc Kay from EFR versus the Caribbean Middleweight Champion Chris ‘The Badman’ Mc Donald from team Dungeon. Ronan has been battling all round Ireland and the UK for years and is one of the most active welterweights in the country to date; he always brings the fight and leaves it all in the cage! Chris Mc Donald originally from Bangor has been living in Jamaica and tearing it up on the MMA circuit over there winning the Caribbean Middleweight belt, he has recently fought on Cage Wars and won by spectacular knock out, he is excited about getting the chance to fight back in Belfast and is looking to take the belt back to Jamaica! Awesome match up!



Northern Ireland ISKA Title 84kg


Tim Mc Crory (Kyoujin) v Paul Moore (IFS)

This was one of the first fights arranged last year and will be another contender for fight of the night! Tim is an experienced MMA fighter with an arsenal of tools at his disposal, Paul Moore is ravenous for this fight and is eager to get back into the octagon to show off his skills. Both guys will have huge support for this fight so expect the roof to lift off – this title fight will produce fireworks!!



Pro 70kg


Mark Uprichard (Tai Jutsu) v Mike Reid (Gracie Barra)

Well this fight will need no build up, for all the Irish MMA and Clan Wars fans you will know these 2 names and what they are capable off! Both these guys come to please the crowd with explosive fights – each holds the power for knock outs in either hand. If this goes the distance I will be very surprised! We predict a stand up war, who will be the victor??? Who knows………only time will tell!! Don’t blink!


Pro 77kg


Henry ‘Hurculeez’ Fadipe (Lucan MMA) v Dwayne Hinds (Team Dungeon)

Just when you think the card can’t get any better the Clan Wars team have pulled another fantastic match up from the hat! Lucan MMA sensation Henry ‘Hurculeez’ Fadipe has been smashing his way through his opponents and has been deemed the next big thing in Irish MMA only aged 19!. Henry has kicks from Hell and excellent punching power, his last two fights on Clan Wars got a standing ovation – make no doubt about it this guy comes to impress and is a crowd pleaser! His opponent Dwayne Hinds is a top fighter hailing from Trinidad and fighting out of Team Dungeon, he is the Caribbean Welterweight Champion and is coming to make a statement against Henry Fadipe! Who would like to call this fight!?!

just wondering is this fight still going to go ahead because as far as im aware doesnt clan wars have a 30 days clause that you can't fight anywhere else 30days before hand, and decky dalton is now fighting just 28days before on cage contender, so does this main that this fight is going to have to be pulled or will you'es just bend the rules? It will be interesting to see if they stick to there rules and inforce them!!

Off course we are going to inforce the rules Mal, it's not something that is put there to be awkward, they are there for the fighters safety. People don't understand we don't make the rules, the ISKA do and if we don't follow their rules then we wouldn't be sanctioned.

Also Decky is still fighting on Clan Wars confirmed this morning.

99% of people know there's a 30 day period where people can't fight between events so like everything else it will be put in black and White from now on so everyone knows so everyone is crystal clear. Again it's for the fighters well being not to be awkward.

Mrs Lynch

My poor wee heart woz goin mad tis mornin thinkin Decky v Andy woz off

One of the fights I had on my Xmas wish list lol x I think these two guys are gonna hav a tremendous fight and on Andys performance on Saturday nite wil be lookin to avenge his loss, best of luck to two rising stars

Thanks for clearing that up. How many does the Ulster Hall hold, I imagine that a lot of the ground floor will be taken up by the cage?

It's gonna' be a sell out.

so is decky not fighting on cage contender then beacuse if he is how are the rule of 30days being inforced when it is only 28days before hand

mmmm...not sure

This is going to be very intresting to see how this pans out because what happens here is going to set the precedent for all other clan wars events because if the rule is changed fir 1 it's going to have to be changed for others, I hope it gets resolved but not at the cost of losing principle. As you guys said it all about fighter safety and no matter how good a fight will be rules are rules

Fear not mmmm...not sure - we wont change the rules for anyone,we aim to run a professional show for fans and fighters a like. Your 100% right fighter safety is paramount and shall not be jepardised at any cost - same way we were put under pressure to start the show again at Clan Wars 6 when the Ambulance had to leave, we would not start it again until we had an ambulance present which meant bringing another ambulance out from the station.

Those who know how we run things know we run things tight and do not break rules no matter how handy it would be - every single thing we do gets / needs approval from the ISKA who run many shows across the globe. The rules are there for the fighters safety and quality of the show so we are more than happy to enforce them to run a professional show.

PCCB have confirmed Decky will not be fighting in Cage Contender due the the 30 day ruling and is really looking forward to fighting Andy at Clan Wars.

The Fight was double confirmed by PCCB and Tai Jutsu last night with both Decky and Andy truely pumped to get into the octagon to do business.

DamoUp

Glad to hear the fight is going ahead. It should be a very entertaining fight!

KneesStopFight

have decky andy andy signed contracts??? this is one thing that needs to be introduced to ensure that fighters do not pull out of fights a week before without a signed medical note or some sort! to ensure legitimate reason for pulling! it is highly frustrating. im not saying, by any means, that fighters are pulling out due to lack of confidence rather than injury but just to make things a bit clearer.. clan wars gona be good show indeed

Chris Shanks

Decky has been waiting on a fight for a while. I don't think he cares who he fights.

Hi DamoUp,

Both the french and Marks management do not like the new gnp rule set so have agreed on old semi -pro rules. This fight is imo of high calibre with two excellent fighters so wether old semi pro, new amateur GNP rules or pro and is a very welcome addition the the card

just a we question, if this 30day rule is so important as it seems, as a result decky dalton had to pull out of a fight on cage contender due to it, so i was wonder why is it you wont let a fighter fight on your show if they are fighting within 30 days on another show due to fighter safety but you are willing to let a fighter you'es manage compete within 30days from when they last competed, what is the difference????
