In another FightIreland exclusive scoop we sat down with one of the most talented mixed martial artists in the country, Cage Contender's Middleweight Champion Chris Fields. The man they call "The Killing" will be putting his belt on the line against feared striker RFA fighter John Redmond. This is easily one of the most anticipated fights in Irish combat sports history and we are guaranteed fireworks when these two face off against each other at next weekend's Cage Contender X. We were delighted to sit down with Chris and get his thoughts on the fight, his opponent and how his team SBG reacted to the infamous youtube video that has sent the hype through the roof! Enjoy....

Just a small error in the re. Gunnar's fight;

Gunnar answered the bell on his hunkers and methodically began feeling out his opponent, some jabs were exchanged before a trip lead to Nelson landing in Butenko's guard.

It was actually a hip throw called an 'Uchi mata' and a text book perfect one at that. Here's a photo of it from FB.

Would you believe when I watched the fight report from the Icelandic Tv station I said whoops got that wrong. Cheers for that will edit it soon as.
