Eat my words here (or some of them) lol
I was surprised with Contenders last nite I had thought it woz gonna be the big package with no quality but some of the fights were crackers;)
The venue wasnt OTT it was the right size and the screens made for perfect viewing (at cage side I woz jumpin off my chair to see some of the action but screens wer fantastic).
Absolutely excellent reffin:D and wow to the MC who is just magic lol serious tho Ritchie definately gets the crowd goin and gives a spark to the shows!!!
Now for some fights - well Cathal and Jonny two of the best warriors we will find in MMA and wot a battle they had both guys are bearin bruises of tough fite, I think this shouldve been main event imo. Damien slick, who is gonna stop him??? Works so comfortably in his game its great to watch! Dominic lookin in great shape and form and has definately "matured" as a fighter which will now reap benefits for him, great control well done:cool: Big John deserving of win and cant wait to see his next fight! Lucaz and Prezmyslaw both strong contenders with perfectly executed game plans.
Undercard - firstly I woz disappointed that Wisdom and Philpott didnt come off as I thought it wudve been good fight:( Extremely well done Ryan who puts so much hard work in and totally evident lastnite fantastic!!! Decky Dalton well this guy is definately Pro standards no doubt (but well done to his coaches ther not pushin this) Decky has so much potential!!! Reece done extremely well I know he's had disappointments but keepin ur head down and workin hard reaps benefits;)

I think it was kind of a "coming of age" show for the Cage Contender Promotion. Everything just worked. The match making was solid, which in my opinion is the foundation of any show. If the fights are poor no amount of production will save you.
I really hope the team keep to the standard they have now set themselves and continue to develop the brand. This in turn will help the sport in Ireland grow. Last night was a good night for Irish MMA.
Well thats what i think anyway.;)
Your a man not to mince words Marty But as always your totally right and we had a good nite of Irish MMA

I am wrighting this post with the mother of all hangovers!! (which I lay squarely at the door of SBG)
Firstly I would like to thank the fighters, without you guys I would have no show. Last night again you showed how strong Irish MMA is, and each and every one of you done yourselves proud.
And to the coaches, thank you for your effort and professionalism, your fighters were all a credit to their clubs.
Last nights reffing was spot on, as a promoter I could ask for nothing more from my officals, the refs, judges and time keepers just get on with the job in hand and don't in my view often receive the credit they deserve... So well done guys and thank you.
To my own team (inc the production crew, commentators and MC), thank you all. For not only making the show happen but also for putting up with my mood swings and temper in the run up to the show
(you all know that I ony have the best interest of the show at heart)
And let's not forget the Irish MMA fans... Thank you for for spending your hard earned money on tickets (which no doubt you will agree represent great value) if there is anything that we can do to make the show better for you please please let us know, Cage Contender is still less than a year old and we take
your views and comments on board to make our show better as your show.
If there is anyone I have forgot to thank I am sorry, and thank you!!!
Cage Contender is going on air next week, Saturday 8th May, on Setanta Sports Ireland. We hope that you enjoy the show as much as I have enjoyed making it.
And folks don't forget Cage Contender V, National Basketball Arena, Dublin. 24th July 2010.....0 -

Enjoyed the whole night-it really was awesome. Some savage fights-credit to the match making and of course the dedication of the fighters- it was a very good reflection and advertisement of the domestic mma scene (in my humble opinion) I will be tuning in to Setanta on Sat to watch all the proceedings once again. Roll on July and the national basketball arena for no.5 0

This show was one of the best I've been at live. I was involved behind the scenes to some extent so I know a little of what went into preparing it, and it was a lot. I'm quite open in my criticisms and compliments of shows and I've criticised (hopefully constructively) some aspects of previous Cage Contender shows in the past. I just have no criticism of this show and plenty to say about how good it was. Great venue, great production, exciting card and a great crowd too. They really lifted the roof for some of the fights and having a lot of the local supporters there made all the difference. One group from DCMMA at cageside had their t-shirts with the fighters faces on them, it sort of reminded me of X factor
.
I defy you to look around Europe and the world for the rest of the month of May and find a better fight than Cathal Pendred vs. Jonny Shiels. It was amazing from start to finish and I would pay top money to watch either of those guys fight again. The pro card will be on Setanta next week and on it you will see an astounding GnP KO, a war between the aforementioned gents, and a superb quick submission. I can confidently say that it will be an excellent showcase for the sport in this country. If you can put up with me, be sure to tune into it and encourage everyone you know who loves MMA (and even those who don't) to do so too. The higher the ratings, the better the buzz, the more likely it is that we'll see Irish MMA on national television in the future.
Thanks to all the Cage Contender crew for a great show and great hospitality as always. See you in Dublin in July!0 -
