No mention of each other until week weeks ago. They suddenly each posting about the other on-stop. Pathetic stuff from Belator really.

Subcomandante Marcos wrote: » He did it every time he got in the cage and won. He called out MVP. He got the fight because his three wins looked impressive against tomato cans, his only fight against a decent fighter he nearly retired. The only reasons he's getting the fight are that they wanted to give MVP an lay up after getting wrecked, and they wanted to give the Dublin card at least one "big name" without too.much effort or cost on their part, and they have a willing can who's been saying MVPs name in every interview and post fight interview he's ever had a as a pro. MVP probably didn't know who Richie was 3 weeks ago, he doesn't care. Richie's socil media is about as active as your grans Instagram.

Whelo79 wrote: » Funny how he managed to call out MVP after his 3 wins in Bellator when he has only fought once for Bellator. Some people need to stop talking absolute tripe. In his one fight with a decent fighter (as you claim) where he nearly retired he did actually retire after it. He ruptured knee ligaments 4 weeks out from that fight and Lahore caught him in a knee bar in the first round. The lad has done very well to get this fight, he's looked impressive in his MMA victories to date and now he has a big step up. He's an Irish and European champion in another Martial Art so this won't phase him. Time will tell if he is up to the standard.

I don’t know many of the up and coming guys on the local scene at all tbh. Never seen Kiely fight for example. When a Irish fighter breaks into the international stage (and thus my radar), my default position is to support him, unless I’ve a good reason not to. I think that’s reasonable. Certainly much more reasonable than people blindly opposing fighters they’ve never heard purely due to their team affiliation.

He was going to pack in fighting all together a couple years ago . He is a highly decorated kickboxer but relatively new to MMA. He was offered a fight on Bellator and decided to have one last role of the dice. As someone who walked away from fighting in my 30s to get a "real job" I will alway cheer for someone like Kiely who is giving it the best shot he can with what he has and doing what he loves. Hope he knocks out MVP.

I remember his last loss talking big coming into it then talk of hanging it up after the fight with the continious knee injury and said he had a ball but what could he do with the knee. He believes in himself but id hate him to come out with the knee heavily strapped like it was before.
