    I think we can all agree it was a monumental win for Cathal Pendred over David Bielkheden at Cage Warriors 47. The SBG man talks to Harry Williams for Your MMA to get his take on the bout and what's next for him:

    http://www.yourmma.tv/fighters/interview-details.asp/id/254/cathal-pendred-cage-warriors-47-victory-interview.htm
    “Considering the circumstances, I was delighted to come away with a win against a guy as experienced and dangerous as Bielkheden,” beamed Cathal. “I did drop him a few times and think I could have pushed more to finish the fight with my ground and pound, but he was tough as hell and I probably showed him a little too much respect on the ground.


    "I dominated for the entire fight and a lapse in concentration in the last round let him back into the fight. I could go on; I'm my biggest critic. At the end of the day, I got a great win. I showed improvements in my game and I put on a ‘Fight of the Night’ performance so I'm very happy!”

    Grimaud next?

    Tell me more about this Gorey fella? 5-1 on Sherdog, all finishes but doesn't appear to have fought tough competition as yet.

    That's a pity. Would've been a good fight. Is there someone else lined up for Gorey or is he just off the card altogether?
