Man of War IV

Legends MMA Gym

Man of War IV will take place on Saturday May 5th in Dublin. The venue has been confirmed and will be released in the coming days.

We are now currently looking for clubs to put fighters forward (all levels junior/amateur/pro) for the show.

On the afternoon of May 5th we will hold our first junior championships. We will be looking for fighters from the age of 13 to 17. In order to make things easy for clubs and fighters alike we are going to divide the junior rules into 2 class types:

A) Junior teen rules (head shots standing),
MMA league style (no head shots standing).

This event will run separate to the main card which will take place on Saturday evening.

For further information please contact me on 0863711370 or @ legendsmmagym@gmail.com. As always thank you for your continued support!!

Also Man of War V will take place on October 13th in Dublin so more details to follow!!

Hi is this fight still gonna happen heard it might be off any news?

Im afraid its off. I got a call about 3 weeks ago saying that Steven has asked for a rematch and he was asking to defend his title againest myself. I took a few days to think about it as i had said i was finished fighting due to my gym and family commitments but i discussed it at home and decided to agree. Started my training camp and weight loss etc then get a call two days ago saying that this fight was off. Im not fully sure the reasons why but i no Steven isnt injured. Im clearly annoyed by all this and im sure the promoter is too losing that fight from his card but sure nothing i can do. Hope that clears things up, well from my end anyway.

Three weeks ago when i took the fight, stephen was to give me a hundred precent and train 6 days a week! i felt he didn't commit him self to his training camp. so i had no choice but to pull him from his fight as he didn't give me a hundred precent.stephen is not injured as you clearly know as i have spoking to your coach and promoter for the reasons why. as a promoter myself i know what is it like to lose fights so i offered Stephen's training partner for this fight paul byrne with 2-0 in mma much the same as the other opponent! and it was declined. so that clears up from my end of things!

Wayne Fagan :cool:

Wayne for the record nobody is blaming you of the fight being off, there is 1 simple reason why the offer of another opponent was not accepted as you know

Mick had no intention in fighting at all but had told stephen after he beat him on Battlezone that he would rematch him when Stephen asked him too, this was the only reason Mick was jumping back into the cage.

Any other offer is simply just a fight that he would not have come back for regardless of opponent.

Now that's the end of things!

Just on a note though I'm always very surprised to see things like this played out on a public forum. There are these things called telephones and using them avoids this sort of mud slinging.

Also having coached now for a good while I always find internal discipline problems are best dealt with, well, internally. Of course it's none of my business...

Barry while I agree with your sentiment, there is no mud slinging-phone calls have been made and everyone knows what's going on

A question here was asked and answered, this had all been discussed with coaches and promoter so we all know situation, it's old hat now anyway.

What mud slinging are you referring too?? A question was asked above and I simply tried to explain it as I'm sure you would have done the same Barry as I've seen many times on previous topics.
