Clan Wars 7 – Ulster Hall – Sat May 28th



14 -NI ISKA PRO A MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE


Tim Mc Crory (Kyoujin) v Paul Moore (IFS)


Just wonder why Tim Mc Cory is getting this title shot, should it not be John Redmond, who beat Tim Mc Cory quite easily, so does he not deserve the shot?

John is not from Northern Ireland which the title is for

why not just have an irish, how many sets of titles are you planning on running??

IFS.NI

They are ISKA Sanctioned belts not Clan Wars belts - the ISKA belts include -

Regional - Northern Ireland Title

National - All Ireland Title

British - (N.I guys are illedgible for)

Commonwealth

European Title

Inter Continental Title

World Title

These titles are shared by all ISKA sanctioned shows world wide except the regional and national Titles. Clan Wars can offer Regional and national titles with reports to the ISKA on the challengers - the same with British belts and higher but obviously the fighter standard increases with each belt under review from the ISKA committee each time a title is proposed. The British Titles are a big thing in the UK with Wolfslair, Kaobon and Rough House all hungry for them.

This is why these "Governing bodies" are not respected, Does Ni have enough fighters to make it even worthwhile? rhetorical question as it does not.

It's still classed as a region no matter how small it is. A title was offered, a
fight submitted and fight passed. No different to a kickboxing northern Ireland title or boxing n.Ireland title.

I can only speak for the ISKA sanctioning body but yes they are highly respected worldwide, just not by people on this forum which is cool although guys don't run down other peoples shows just because they offer an alternative path.

I'm not running down your show, lets be clear on that-i like the show but don't care for the iska tag, i've told you this in person also so thats not news to you.

Kickboxing and Boxing have way more participants and i Don't think there are Ni Boxing titles either, and if there are they suck too

Will there be a Southern Ireland regional title at any point?

The ISKA involvement is more than a tag, it's offers a high standard set of rules and regulations in a time where there is no official MMA governing body.

Because we are sanctioned we get approval from police,ministers,doctors and the council. No other MMA show that we know off has ever been passed by the council as none even offer a sniff of some kind of official backing.

Am I saying the ISKA are perfect and the answer, probably not but in the eyes of the councils and thousands of martial artisits around the world it certainly offers alot more than and is the closest yet.

People here seem to think just because Clan Wars uses it that it's some small martial arts body that we only use! Clan Wars is only a small blip in the ISKA with hundreds of shows sanctioned across the world. Why do you think there's so many intenational guys looking to come over to fight on Clan Wars?? It's building a reputation across the globe through the ISKA

So with the option of using a sanctioning that is getting us alot of recognition, backing from councils, international fighters, media coverage , sponsorship deals, recognised titles from a world recognised body I think I will stick with what we are doing - I don't know seems to be working well

Not going to argue with you but as far as im concerned your show is no different to any other, the tag is meaningless to the MMA Community, its a kickboxing 1 anyway.

I like your show as you run it well, the tag, Meh!

Sorry mate I'm gonna beg to differ on that point!! Every event that we do or have done in the Belfast City Council territory has to be passed by the Council, Health and Safety and the PSNI. These are all standard requirements and im sure its the same for the guys at Cage Wars too

Yes territory but not council owned property?? - if you have fair play but they told us the rest where turned down as they had no official bodies and also took us 6 months of red tape and multiple meeting to be approved for council owned property.

We were offered the Ulster Hall and Waterfront Hall months ago but were happy to stay with the Kings Hall at the minute. The Waterfront had the capacity we needed but was twice the price of the current venue plus they charge an extra premium if you want to record the event for broadcast at either venue which is a bit of a piss take tbh

Do you have to pay for sanctioning from the ISKA?

IFS.NI

Ronan Mc Kay is out due to severing 2 tendons in work. Merv Mulholland has now stepped up in short notice for the fight. Mervyn is fresh from taking the 10th Legion British Title and also beat Ronan Mc Kay to take the Chaos title. Chris Mc Donald is 8-1 with 2 titles, Mervyn is 7-3 with 2 titles, Mervyn is comming off a TKO win in London and a KO win in Derry, Chris is coming off a knock out at Cage Wars so this should be an exciting battle from 2 explosive fighters.

People here call it new C class rules.

Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Clan Wars on Saturday, great venue and even better fights made it one of the most exciting events I've been to.
Production values are very high for this event too, its up there with the best events in Europe for sure.

I was very impressed with the standard of the under card matches, glad to see the semi-pro matches being reduced on the card as well, when you can have such great matches using the new C class rules, semi-pro seems like a throwback now IMO.
I thought Gavin Carlin and Stephen Owens had a tremendous match up, worthy of being further up the card.

Henry Fadipe is a monster at that weight, although he was dominated on this occasion, he got one swipe in and broke his opponents nose! As he accumulates more experience he will be a complete beast.

Mervyn Mulholland is destined for greatness, pulling off another highlight victory.

I was already looking forward to the next one, but Decky Dalton predicting he will knock out Steve McCombe on the next show has made the anticipation even more acute!

Did anyone record the fight?

Good Show, setup was good. It was good to see how the new rules are working in the shows. The standard of fights seem to be higher with the new rules, it just shows how the new rules was a good idea.

KneesStopFight

class show... some great fights... and 1 great slam holy potatoes!!!

Menace2Society

Henry Fadipe didn't make weight & weighed in at 79Kgs, Dwayne was 76 so a big difference in size. Heard nothin but good reports for the show.

Gutted for McDonald, 16secs was damn fast. Fair play to Merv lockin it so fast.

When will the vids be up?
