    Not strictly Cage Contender but many of you have met Brian Magee at our events and weigh ins etc right from CC1. Everyone one at the promotion wishes Brian all the best tonight when he defends his WBA Interim Super Middleweight World Title -v- Rudy Markussen in Denmark.



    UPDATE: Magee win by KO Round 5

    Surprised to hear cage contender fighters have to pay for their own pre fight medical. Is this true?.

    No, not true. I think you might be getting your facts messed up, fighters pay for their own blood tests that are valid for 12 months.

    From my brother in law whos brother has fought in cage contender before. Doesnt effect his brother so much personally because he has an in house doctor in his workplace so hes covered on doctors fees etc. Maybe there was misunderstanding on that seeing as you say that isnt the case.

    This Should be a good one, its James first fight at FW is it? Tough introduction to the division. Kind of classic striker vs grappler match i guess. Who do you guys think has the edge in this fight?

    James Heelan (SBGi) -v- Alan Kavanagh (Husaria)

    That's a very hard fight for Alan against a bigger and more experienced fighter.... fair play to him for taking it.

    I'm unable to make this show. Where will it be televised? Watching a replay next week would really suit me.

    heelan is coming down from light weight, alan up from bantam, heelan is more experienced, better in all areas and bigger, cant see anywhere alan can win this, no disrespect to the guy as hes a good fighter but this is a major step up for him. surprised they took this fight.

    The Showstopper will have a tough debut, O Donnell was impressive in destroying Kearns with hammer fists

    It's not - there's an mma event on in Japan you can stream later or you can see a live event just off the M50 featuring one of the best fighters in Europe .... Your call mate...
