It seems to be pushing Strikeforce for that #2 spot in the states, it's such and awesome show, and weekly. The Askren/HornBuckle welterweight final fight tonight was decent.

Will be nice to have someone Irish the cheer for in a big American MMA show!

Mrs Lynch

Best of luck Ais Not only great for Irish FeMMA but for the whole Irish MMA:D

Its great to Irish MMA fighters going places.

I take it this means that we will not see Aisling at Cage Contender in July then, or is Aisling contracted into fighting in Dublin?

wingnut4

Aisling!

It's really horribly mispronounced, I nearly didn't know who they were looking for on the phone today when they called, thought it was a wrong number! Azling lol!

That's deadly,just deadly.Really like your fighting style Ash.It's great to have someone representing on such a stage.Hope you perform as well as you usually do.

On that I just read this account:

The Sexton knockout was nasty. I was literally five feet from them and it was one of the sickest thuds I've ever heard. She was down and out for a long time after that fight

You can view it on the Bellator youtube channel.

Late stoppage imo, the ref shouldnt have allowed the extra blows.

I genuinely think Rosi is lb for lb the best female fighter out there but she can only get fights against girls seriously bigger than her. Look at her opponent, she's about 7kg heavier.

Aisling!

This is is a thread about me being in Bellator If you want to talk about how Rosi is lb for lb best start another one... and we'll see who's lb for lb best in August.

The catch weight was 121lb Zoila made 120, Rosi was 121lbs, can't complain there!

stop being a tool, the thread is being dragged offtopic, if you want to discuss something, start a thread.

Huh what? She should learn to keep those gloves up... or maybe she was just looking for a cheap nose job

Aisling!

I didn't pay for anything but as the title of the thread clearly states Aisling Daly added to next season's Bellator Tourney... not Rosi Sexton

got KO'd last night!

Fight here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGPZR0n5SDU&feature=player_embedded

lb for lb performance? :rolleyes:

Sid_Justice

People do see the irony here? No, I'll spell it out. Am i being criticized for off-topicness or complementing someone's rival?

Seeing as the thread starter has returned the discussion to Rosi's fight I shall presume it's ok for me to add my view. I think she was beaten by a girl who was physically bigger who cut more weight. In the same way BJ penn was beaten by GSP and at the time, BJ could have been considered a lb4lb contender.

I've been lucky enough to be at some of your fights, I think you're an amazing fighter!

I didn't start the thread... you can can give Rosi all the compliments you want... on a different thread dedicated to that.
This is a thread about me in Bellator, people can give their opinion on that, we've already heard yours. I'm saying we'll see on August 12th if Rosi isn't under medical suspension.


I don't agree it's the same thing they both cut to 120lbs so what who cut more? neither missed weight.
Rosi didn't move up a weight class and as she recently said in an interview she feels 120lbs is her best weight class.

I also agree with you being a tool!

Anyway delighted to be fighting on Bellator, thanks for the support guys, I'm gona do Irish MMA proud!

Sid_Justice

good luck with your fight ais! hope you kick ass!

Aisling!

Thanks!

rovert

Sorry for my part in this, dont kill me Aish. Perhaps a spilt topic would be best?

Aisling!

I ain't killing anyone unless you're one of the 7 girls here

A winners attitude if ever I saw it !!!!! Hope it goes well for you Aish

rovert

When will the first set of match ups been announced offically?

Aisling!

I'm not completely sure yet but we're going to be seeded anyway so the most likely would probably be this:

(1)Megumi Fuji vs (8)Lynn Alvarez
(4)Aisling Daly vs (5)Jessica Pene

(3)Lisa Ward vs (6)Jessica Aguilar
(2)Rosi Sexton vs (7)Angela Magana

I like it!

Arent the two of you training partners?

Aisling!

Nope, we never were in any real sense. Rosi was with Sbg UK but not anymore, I am still with Sbg Ireland.
We trained together once about 4 years ago before I had a fight & I met her once after that a couple of years back.

We were never training partners just shared a gym name

Yeah, it was cagewarrior that I got the notion i think. Was it before the berik fight?

Either way, Awesome achievement getting the call up. SMASH em all!!
