Great news. Defo getting tickets for this, the last event was brilliant. Interesting to see how fields gets on in title fight, could have done with a couple more fights at light heavy maybe.

Paully D

Looking forward to this. Any ticket prices yet, BAMMA?

He had indeed, but has one more left with Bamma as far as I know.

Don't think bellator would be too impressed if he got his ass handed to him.

More chance of me winning the euromillions than Sean Tobin whooping his ass (no offence to Sean),


Hope to see Frans Mlambo back in there on this card same goes for Tuke,McKee Deccy Dalton and hopefully Kiefer Crosibe,some very exciting young fighters.

Stranger things have happened. Nobody thought Diaz would win
Deccy dalton isn't young is he? Or am I mixing him up with someone else?

I must have him mixed up. Is he also a referee?

There was a Dec dalton fighting on the early cage contender cards. He must be older than mid 20's at this stage. I'm nearly sure he was a ref too. Maybe there's 2 Dec daltons

Frans is fighting next week in WCFC so it depends on how that goes I suppose (but it's an easy fight IMO).

I only seen it on twitter this morning so must be recent. Thats sucks man

SDTimeout

Decky Dalton was around years ago on the Cage Contender cards. He is 24 now.

This will be a good card, if the match ups that are doing the rounds stay together. It will be their best event they've put on in Ireland (fight wise)

mmapk

Niklas Bakstrom signed to Bamma and debuts on the Dublin card according to twitter.

Paully D

Anyone know what the cageside seats were like at this last time around? Block S seems to crop up on Ticketmaster's 'best available' quite a lot:

Gamebred

Havent sat cage side and wouldnt bother paying for it tbh,the normal 35e tickets mid stand are perfect there is literally not a bad seat for bamma they have 2 huge screens too which is great.

Swashbuckler

What Gamebred said. I went the last time and the cheaper seats were every bit as good. No need to pay for cageside.

That_Guy

I went for the €50 tickets last time and had this view.



I maintain that you always need to be looking into the cage from an elevated position rather than sitting floor side and looking up into it particularly when it goes to the ground.

BAMMA

Third bout announced

Lonsdale Bantamweight Title Fight
Alan 'The Apprentice' Philpott (c) Vs. Aaron 'Smackwell' Blackwell

Alan makes his first defence of the title he won at BAMMA 24 & Blackwell signs on the dotted line with BAMMA after winding up the entire Bantamweight division with one tweet (See the @BAMMA Twitter line for more) and gets his crack at the title. Should be an absolute barnstormer of a bout.

Tickets are now on sale from Ticketmaster, or contact a fighter directly.

BAMMA

Next bout added to the BAMMA 26 Lineup sees the BAMMA Debut of Paul 'Redser' Redmond Vs. Jack 'The Pilgrim' McGann in a Lightweight Battle.

Tickets on sale now people!

What is the difference between the Lonsdale belts and the actual BAMMA belts.

BAMMA

The BAMMA belts would be classed as a 'World' title and the Lonsdale ones are "British" titles for up and coming talent.

Absolutely

He has had horrid luck the last 2 years with injuries and opponents pulling out, he also got robbed in Portugal. Always thought and hoped he could break into the bigtime

I see Lloyd Manning is penciled in.

Only his 2nd pro fight but IMO he's one of the best prospects in years.

A Judo black belt with a number of national championships to his name. Ranked 5th in the world in Sambo. Some slick fighting too, and a very mean streak.

BAMMA

The matches are coming thick and fast now.

[*]Adam Jahovic vs Dylan The Nuke Tuke

John Redmond seems like a really nice guy and far from criticizing someone who makes that walk because I certainly wouldn't have the balls to do it, but his record must be about 5-10 at this stage?

Postponed to Sep 10th

After consultation within the Irish sporting, medical and political community, a consensus has been reached that it is vital to introduce these scans for the BAMMA 26 event. With this in mind, and to allow the facilitation of these scans for ALL fighters, a decision has been made to move the BAMMA 26 event from June 4th to September 10th. This will leave 3 months of preparation for fighters to organise scans and for them to be reviewed by relevant medical experts.

Sounds like we're on the road to regulation.
