That's a f*cking great card.

Swashbuckler

Lads am I being a dumbass here or are there 19 fights on the card?

Gamebred

McKee against lawrence is a nice match on the undercard.


I'd have rooney v firekid main event too.

mmapk

Great card TBF.

Check Kone, what more to say - Evil leg kicks and a pair of hands.
But the co main interests me more....
Tom 'Firekid' DuQuesnoy (11-1) vs. Damien 'The Rage' Rooney (10-4-1) (Bantamweight Bout)

Damien will bring everything he has and more, always the professional vs Firekid who has turned down the UFC already (wanting more experience first) and many expect him to be there by the end of the year... that's one bad ass MF of a fight. My money is on Damien but if Tom wins he for sure cements his 'right' to fight in the UFC.

Peter 'The Showstopper' Queally (6-2) Vs. 'Mr Bag & Tag" Nathan Jones (9-4) (Welterweight Bout)
BOOM - my money is on Peter.

'The Housewives Choice' Chris Fields (12-7-1) Vs. Andy 'The Lion's Paw' DeVent (12-10) (Middleweight Bout)
I'm going for the MILF in this one, although DeVent will bring it. expect fireworks !

Paul Byrne (6-1) Vs. Bola 'Cashflow' Omoyele (8-4) (Middleweight)
'Magic' Myles Price (8-6) Vs. Mario 'Rudeboy' Saaed (7-2) (Lightweight bout)
Sinead Kavanagh (1-0) Vs. Kerry 'Rocksteady' Hughes (2-1) (Bantamweight Bout)

Spinning back fists, BJJ Irish Ninja sh!t (thanks Nate Diaz) and head kicks!

Conor 'Da Crook' Cooke (6-7) Vs. Matt 'Farmer Boy' Hallam (5-2) (Middleweight Bout)
Mick 'Basher' Brennan (4-6) Vs. Brian 'The Pikeman' Moore (8-4) (Featherweight bout)
Decky 'The Diamond' Dalton (5-0) Vs. Micheal 'Gip' Cutting (6-4) (Featherweight Bout)

Oh my F*cking word, I'm not going to be able to get a drink in all night, that lot will bring it and bring it more!
Remember Decky and SBG going for each other on here, and the match up with Brian on Cage Contender X (the fight that never was)

Lonsdale Bantamweight Title
Alan 'The Apprentice' Philpott (14-7) Vs. Nathaniel 'The Prospect' Wood (8-2)
Got the prospect in this one.

Gerard Gilmore (2-1) Vs. James Gallagher (1-0) (Featherweight Bout)
Mark Andrew (1-0) Vs. Patrick Wixted (1-2) (Bantamweight Bout)
Neil Ward (1-1) Vs. Dylan Tuke (1-0) (Bantamweight Bout)
Rhys 'Skeletor' McKee (1-0) Vs. Paul Lawrence (2-0) (Lightweight Bout)
Will Fluery (Pro Debut) Vs. Thomas Hogan (1-0) (Welterweight Bout)
Sean Tobin (3-2) Vs. Gary 'The Dumptruck' Morris (7-8) (Bantamweight Bout)
Kams Ekpo (3-0) Vs. Lloyd Manning (Pro Debut) (Featherweight Bout)

Some real f*cking talent here. props to Jude Samuels Bamma's matchmaker.
Can't wait to watch Dylan Tuke and James Gallagher from SBG and Lloyd Manning from Cork, national Judo champion and gold medal winner at 3 different weights in Sambo.

Some serious prospect talent and some serious pro fights.
Looking forward to it!!!!!

Genuine question by the way

Holy **** that's some amount of fights. Sold........

Gamebred

A handful will be cancelled due to injury bet your life on that so will probably be 14 or 15,hope there is not long breaks in between in the main card fights like the last bamma.

BAMMA

We are up to 18 fights now and may just have another couple up our sleeves

And any of you who have some Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket, then head on over to Ticketmaster or see one of the fighters on the show and get your tickets for the first of the BAMMA events in Ireland this year!

I like the sound of that. Any indication for when the other(s) are planned?

BAMMA

Nothing confirmed yet, but this will definitely not be the only trip to Ireland this year.

We haven't been to Belfast yet either.

Gamebred

Any chance ya can make the gaps in between main card fights as short as possible dont fancy sitting around for age again,thanks.

BAMMA

That's all dependent on the TV, that's why they're are gaps. Coupled with virtually every fight only going sub 2 minutes meant we had a lot gaps to fill.

califano

Looks like a great card fair play. Wondering closer to the event if you could be specific mainly on the order of fights and what time the 1st prelim starts?. As there was a lot of unanswered questions last time regarding these so to have clarity would be helpful. People ask because they dont want to be too early or too late.

BAMMA

Yes we will, as soon as we have it all confirmed and ready to announce.

Beersmith

Are the cheapest tickets this time 40e?

BAMMA

€35 are the cheapest.

Anywhere to get them apart from ticketmasterrobbers?

You can buy them from the fighters.

If you can hook up with a fighter or a club you'll be supporting those before Ticketmaster.

I'd encourage anyone to buy their tickets this way.

If you don't train in an MMA club they're easy enough to hook up with via FB etc, and they'd love you to drop by and meet the lads whilst purchasing your ticket.

Its an easy way to directly support the fighters.

So who is the easiest to buy from in dublin you think?

SBG right on the Red Line luas be handy to get to if you work or live anywhere along that yoke.

Gamebred

Im sure Team Ryano have some if your on the northside Patrick Wixted is fighting out of there.

I've got two tickets to sell as I can't make the event now. A family weekend coincides with thus and I can't get out of it, gutted. I bought them from the ticketmaster outlet in Santry so have actual tickets. Will sell for face value of €35 each, not looking to recoup ticketmaster charges.

Block C Row 24, so they are in a good central position. Anyone interested let me know.

I love that BAMMA are giving us an opportunity to catch some up and coming fighters from the Irish/European scene. In terms of value for money, they really can't be beaten for price considering it's on in the 3 Arena on a fairly big stage.

In talking to friends who went the last time, we all had the same concerns regarding fights within the crowd and general lewd drunken behaviour.

Don't get me wrong, we had a blast but the antics of a portion of the crowd really left a sour taste in what was a great night.

Just a couple of questions:

- Do you think it's still appropriate to advertise this as 'Ireland vs England' particularly since Ireland play England in the rugby on the same day?... Also given the year that's in it regarding the history of Irish politics. Not saying it would play into the minds of many but it might play into things.

- Will you be working in conjunction with the 3 Arena/Garda to up the security around the place? (There was nowhere near enough the last time).

----

As I say, I think what BAMMA are trying to do should be applauded and we had a great time watching the fights the last time. Personally, I'd rather I see them in the cage rather than spilling out onto the concourse.

BAMMA

Well today's news is that Tyrone 'King of the Ring' Spong and Luke 'Biglsow' Barnatt have been announced as team captains for Team ireland and Team England.

And ThatGuy, it's on the same days as the rugby, because we will continue the sporting rivalry with Team Ire Vs. Team Eng.

And yes security will be upped on this event.

Spong isn't Irish?

Gamebred

Barnett is a washed up ufc nobody who would be mauled by half the fighters on the card imo,has no place coaching/captaining anybody what ever his role will be,Ill pay double ticket price if ye let spong fight him :pac:

but1er

This team captain Ireland bs England really turned me off this event

Terrible idea then to get someone who ain't Irish to captain?

I dunno. Maybe he's one of the spongs from the Galway region. I could be wrong

MartyMcFly84

Think he is from Clare like Muhammed Ali

Gamebred

This England invading Ireland thing on the 100th anniversary of 1916 the one of the stupidest ideas ive seen in mma,makes zero sense any time btw never mind a historic time for the country,bin the idea,nobody cares about barnett or spong captaining teams either it wont make one person extra buy a ticket who wasnt going.

MartyMcFly84

I agree, I really dont like the country v country format in MMA.

The "teams" are not part of any national squad, in many cases do not train together or even know each other.

I dont understand the point or role of the team captains. Especially when one is not even from the country he is supposed to be a captain of.

They will not coach or train with their "teams", so I just dont get the point of it really...

@BAMMA could you please explain?

I wont be getting a ticket now

Gamebred

Save the money your paying spong and barnatt and pay the fighters more,theres some free advice bamma.

MartyMcFly84

If anything it should be SBG Vs the rest
