    Went and watched the prelimes wanted to see Cowleys MMA debut,went as expected grapple ****ed,


    Rhys McKee is a serious prospect teriffic fighter his head kick was like a crocop kick slept the guy,


    James Gallagher won again easily hes the best grappler in the country at his age 19 only kid is going all the way to the top,


    Tuke is a very unorthodox striker vicious style hard to train for starched Andrews great win another serious prospect,



    The show was moving swiftly soon as they started taking the piss with the breaks I left got home for the Damien Rooney fight and the UFC london main card so cant complain.

    I've never seen James at any BJJ comps. Is he a purple belt?

    Seems a good talent alright from the few fights I've seen of him. I like B Moore a bit more though although a good bit older.

    Gallagher might be the best Irish grappler in MMA right now, but not in grappling in general in Ireland.

    There is not a person at 19 years of age that would beat him in mma or grappling in the gi,he taps out sbg brown and black belts the guy is a phenom and Ive no connection with him or his club what so ever,hes living with Kavangh as far as I know since hes 15 or 16.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Beersmith


    I enjoyed the fights but streamed the London ufc during the huge breaks between fights on the main card

    Just because he taps Brown and Black belts dosnt mean hes the best grappler at his age in Ireland. I'm a Blue belt and have tapped Brown and Black Belts before but that doesnt mean a think.

    Id argue that there are lots of guys winning European medals(both GI and no GI) at purple belt from ireland who are around 18/19/20 years of age, not to mention the top class blue belts coming through winning golds at pretty much every European competition they attend

    Name one person you think would beat him in pure grappling at the age of 19 so?I compete and will be doing so tomorrow in cork so Im sure I know of them if they are any good,he would have sex with any bluebelt in the country at his weigh its not even debateble.

    I don't know the chap myself, what weight does he compete at in GI? I assume he dosnt cut as much as for a fight?

    Like I said I've never seen him at a BJJ comp myself so haven't seen him in a GI. It's just that it's a big statement to make that he's by far the best grappler in the country?(maybe he is though)

    Also I really wouldn't like to roll with him myself if he's going to have sex with me ;)

    Not sure if he's the same age but Sam McNally would be a name that comes to mind for me as a very good young grappler in Ireland.

    Edit: what's the name of the SBG blue belt that pulled off the berimbolo in the cage before Christmas? He looks a tidy fighter/grappler as well but maybe not up to the same level as tonight yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 205 ✭✭johnpro


    Just home going to stick on ufc London and if it's half as exciting as Bamma I'll be happy!

    Great night of fights with some great displays...Irish mma has a solid future based off some performances tonight.

    How the firekid and Philips are not in the ufc by now amazes me...they were unreal.

    That's Lee Hammond and I'm fairly sure he's pulled off two berimbolo's now inside the octagon. He just made the switch recently to MMA and he's another good prospect, definitely known more for his BJJ at this stage though.

    BAMMA was brilliant last night, bigger crowd than the last BAMMA I think. Great night of fights, the only negative was the long breaks between some fights. Tuke was impressive as always, he's the best Irish prospect in my opinion, followed closely by Gallagher who looked very good as well.

    Very disappointed I missed McKee's fight as I desperately wanted to see it, he's a serious talent too. Hopefully a video becomes available of his KO.

    David Haye was cageside doing analysis also, wasn't expecting to see him there.

    Some serious fights last night.

    Kavanagh and Dos Santos was an absolute war.

    Gallagher, Mckee, Tuke, Firekid and Phillips are some serious talents.

    Dalton looked good too.

    Wasn't that impressed with Queally. Has an impressive tank though.

    Great even overall. Not as much English at it as last time. Probably explains the good behavior.

    Thats him. My first fight in my first BJJ comp was against him. He got me in a double lapel choke from standing, never even saw it coming. He's a great talent, with himself a few guys from Team Torres and ECJJ there's some really good blue belts coming through.

    I was meant to go myself but money was tight so ended up missing out :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Brilliant night of fights. The breaks were a killer though leading into the two fights on TV at 10pm.

    Kavanagh vs Dos Santos was a really great scrap and to be honest, I thought that Dos Santos won that fight 29-28 despite a late rally from Kavanagh.

    Thought the atmosphere was much better than the last event and their production looked a lot cleaner. Nice that all prelims were shown on the big screen this time out too.

    I wish they had kept Noel O'Keefe as MC though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 104 ✭✭EoineyM


    Fair play to BAMMA for putting on such a great show, good to see the crowds out for it. A lot of brilliant performances. Tuke and Gallagher have massive futures ahead of them, so composed and skillfull. Great night all round!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,269 ✭✭✭Gamebred


    All the prospects will have much tougher fights to come but to experience that atmosphere so early in their career is amazing it doesnt get bigger than the Point so if the ufc come knocking when they're back it wont phase any of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭corkgsxr


    Is cians fight on the prelim video a few pages back. Can't seen to see it.

    Got taken down in the first 2 rounds,looked safe even when mounted was never in any submission danger,3rd round he lit your man up for a small bit almost had a gullotine at one stage,was a good debut for amatuer to be fair to him has an awful lot to learn before he takes a pro fight.

    Annoying that they took the prelims down. I was looking forward to watching that after work tonight.

    Anyone have a link for the prelims?

    Main card here:

    Lee Hammond is a purple belt, not a blue. He's only really made the switch to MMA in the last year but still rolls in the Gi plenty, just has a different focus. James hasn't really bothered competing in Jiu Jitsu for years, maybe 16/17. When he was, he was submitting adults in blue belt divisions, as a teen. In seconds, in some cases. There's not much between them, tbh. Different styles. James is extremely well rounded but likes to pass and take the back like Gunni and has a more old school Jiu Jitsu game. Lee is fundamentally sound too but also was an early adopter of all the new school Jiu Jitsu, hence pulling off a berimbolo in two fights.

    Cant wait for the next show. Missed out on 24 but 22 was a fantastic night.

    Can we hopefully expect 2 or 3 cards a year in Ireland now?

    Fair play BAMMA and credit for listening to fans regarding the initial tag line slated for the event. Great night and I wouldn't be hesitant in purchasing tickets in the future.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭Simply Red


    One of the best live shows i've attended, well done Bamma. Looking forward to the announcement of the next Irish card


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,582 ✭✭✭Swashbuckler

    Worse than Helwani giving away the main event of the 'biggest' event of the year & the biggest event since UFC 100?


  • Registered Users Posts: 63 ✭✭BAMMA


    It wasn't a secret, it just wasn't signed off paperwork and contracts wise with venues and fighters and whatnot, so we don't announce anything until everything's in place including ticket on sale dates...

    Anyway, Friday...
