Is Karl roche not biting off more than he can chem here.Ive seen a couple of fights on teh local circuit but dan severn has been in there with some legends and tough mofo's.Grant it hes getting on a bit now but he can still look after himself!!

Karl is a tough lad and only a nipper compared to Dan, Dan was old in the early UFC,S never mind now, The difference in age makes this a genuine fight that Karl can win if he performs to his best. C'mon Karl.....

Tom Maguire and Martin Begley being so far down the card is a travesty in my humble opinion, they should be up there just under Tom Egan.

Either way, awesome card, can't wait!

How big is MMA in Ireland becoming?
MMA really seems to have taken off in this country. From reading here there is at least 6 events coming up before the end of the year

Rumble in Rush, Fight before Christmas, Tribal warfare, Chaos, 2 in August (cant remember at the moment , EFR are doing one and that 8 man tournie), not to mention the MMA league
And thats not including ROT/Cot which will surely be happening again soon.

My question is this: Do we have a big enough pool of active fighters to accommodate what seems like a busy schedule? Is it the same fighters most of the time or is there foreign teams/fighters competing as well as Irish? How big can this get?

Although it seems to be working well with lots of new guys arriving on the scene and coming up through the ranks.

Is the fan base there to support all this?

Hmmmmmh:rolleyes:

Who wants to be in charge?

and you name all the shows you said you seen the best fights on so in 1 breath Irish MMA is ****e and in another you've seen the best fights on Irish shows-:rolleyes:

Clubs just want to protect fighters and make sure there been looked after by people who love MMA and not just some investor who does not care for the fighters

plenty of lads have been given support setting up MMA shows such as John Ferguson above and Adrian patterson who both came from outside MMA circles but had the right idea of engaging the clubs to find out what was needed and not just pumping money in and expecting robots to perform

If i put any fighter on a show and feel there treated poorly the show will never get my backing again-im not sending my fighters to a 1st time show unless i know there like minded like most promoters and want MMA in Ireland to grow and and are willing to help clubs who are the bread and butter of the sport out.
