MMA League in YOUR Town?

mark.leonard · 28-04-2008 11:54AM #1

As was announced at the League in Limerick, we are currently accepting proposals for a new venue for Round 3 of the MMA League. This round usually takes place in early August.

If you think your town would be a good site to hold the event then all you need to have there is

A hall, with mats big enough to hold the League
A reasonable catchment area for more than one MMA Club

So if you fancy having the League 10 minutes from your house, drop me a line on info at MMALeague dot com and start the ball rolling!

Bump

I'd imagine whatever town/city was selected would have to be easily accessible to everyone in Ireland.

please pick somewhere in the south east....it's be great not gettin up at 7, how bout waterford???

Waterford sounds good to me. Couple of mma clubs in that area, well connected city, has a train and buses. not too far from cork and limerick.

donegal? really far away though

Waterford all the way.
Is that Pat Rockett's karate place doing MMA now? anyone know if it's any good?

dlofnep · 28-04-2008 07:15PM

Everyone is doing "MMA" now. I haven't been to Pat Rockett's, so I can't comment on it. But I haven't heard anything about them in terms of MMA, so I'll be sure to stay away from it.

Waterford is easy to get to - it's just getting someone to organise it down here. I could give a hand where needed. The WIT hall would be more than big enough to host it and we have mats for judo down here - although if we needed a more than one matted area, we'd need to loan mats from the other waterford judo club.

If it's possible to have a good pissup in waterford and the girls are easy,I pick waterford!

dlofnep · 28-04-2008 09:17PM

Waterford is a grand spot for a pint.

Locations are really moot unless someone is willing to organise it.

It doesn't matter whether it's a good location or not if nobody on the ground is willing to organise an event there!

All I need is contact details for a hall with mats and first aid and I will do the organising. I need a man on the ground to suss out venues and get that contact detail, the rest (fingers crossed) I will be able to handle.

Sounds great. Kilkenny Top Pro used to run kickboxing events out of O'loughlin Gaels if that's of any help.

Raze_them_all · 03-05-2008 11:05AM

yeah i know, shur it's the top pro mma team thats checking to see if there's anywhere that'd be available before they say it to mark

I would love too but I got a cold at the moment.

Hopefully by next week I'll be better.

Adam Salowinski(best i can spell) Is the wrestling coach, and Myles Price does the stand up for the mma

JohnMc1 · 05-05-2008 05:17PM

Hopefully someday we can get a semi-pro and pro MMA event in KK as well.

dlofnep · 05-05-2008 07:13PM

What background does your man Adam have in wrestling? Has he legit wrestling experience? If so, I'll take a trip up there soon.

Raze_them_all · 05-05-2008 08:18PM

he's been doing it a long long time, he won the mma league out i think, John as for the semi pro pro mma event, for now thats just a pipe dream!!! not really enough interest I'd say to make it possible money wise

dlofnep · 05-05-2008 09:36PM

What nights/days is wrestling training on? I'll popup soon. Where in Kilkenny do ye train?

Raze_them_all · 05-05-2008 10:05PM
