Oh believe me, I wasnt kidding when I said I wouldnt comment on the fight because I didnt know his opponent. My knowledge of Irish MMA is patchy at best but I'm learning and learning about it for reasons that will become clear soon enough.

But I'm the first one to put up my hand and say I dont know nearly enough about Irish MMA.

So, I'm not being disrespectful to Roddy's opponent by saying he has great MT. How could I be? I know nothing about Davis but I will by tonight

Tbh i think Ben might nick it. If a few more fights were available I'd prob throw an accum together with ben ben roddy

The line writers (Odds makers) were going to do 5 fights but got cold feet when they realized that Boyles took a beating on 3 of the last 4 events. I don't think Boyles ever got over the shock from CC6 when they had Mitchell as favorite to beat Gunnar Nelson and somebody had £20k on Gunni at 6/2 (from memory but might be wrong).

Lads this has probably already been asked but Im not goin through 20 pages! Is this assigned seating? are there still tickets available (at the door)? A mate of mine wants to go now...

Unless there's been a change from the last time it was in the NBA there are no assigned seats - best thing to do it grab a seat mid tier opposite the large screens.

Or if you recognize supporters from a particular club seat close to them and you'll have the craic as their fighter/fighters do battle.

meerkatmark · 22-07-2011 4:23pm

hey guys, was in the square in tallaght today and seen the public weigh in for this event, looks like its going to be a great night, first time i had seen anything like this before.

who were the 2 smaller guys who looked like they were gonna have a scrap on the stage? i seen the 2 bigger guys who i now know as redmond and fields (thanks to the nice flyer) and that got very heated.

didnt see anyone selling tickets at the square, can i get tickets on the door?

da-bres · 22-07-2011 4:59pm

'the square' stare offs was a great idea, Looking forward even more to the fights!

Seating is unreserved and I have some tickets if you can't get them anywhere else.

Barry.Oglesby · 22-07-2011 5:32pm

I'm looking forward to the Davis Roddy fight. For me this is as good as it gets. Two exciting finishers who bring their personalities to the fight too.

Shame on you if you're in Dublin and not going to this.

Looking down the card I'm tipping the Mulpeter/Torres fight as one for the aficionados. Seb is favourite but Philip will doubtless have received his instructions. I think this will be chess. 1000mph chess.

As for the Fields/Redmond fight, one of these boys egos has written cheques their butt can't cash. I think this fight will be decided by who can cope with the energy of the night.

And if you're cageside, the first sonofabitch to come up to me between fights to tell me I look like Bas Rutten gets abused on national television. Bas Rutten looks like me.

Has bas left himself go that much?

A better game to play is after how many fights will Barry complain on twitter that he needs coffee.

Anybody heading back into city center after ? I've been told the buses can be touch and go to get back into the city center. Getting Matthews bus from Parnell Street. If there is a free spot in any car back into town it would be appreciated!

Off the top of my head in what i consider the big 4 of this card.

Davis to upset and win by ko/tko
Chris Fields by submission late round 2/round 3
R. Gorey by sub/gnp.
Torres by submission.

Can't make it up to this due to other sports commitments

da-bres · 22-07-2011 6:57pm

My picks are:

Mulpeter over Torres (upset of the night)

Roddy and Ben will be great, but I think it will be a decisive win for the champ.

I don't see Redmond surviving, no disrespect to Redmond but Chris is a much more developed fighter in all areas. First round finish IMO. Weigh in was pretty funny, Redmond will have to back up all his antics

Davern and gorey is going to be ridiculous. Both are killers.

crosdad · 22-07-2011 11:37pm

Chris fields and Owen roddy will both get the win i think, simply because they can do it all and im not sure if their opponents can. Also, i would keep an eye out for richard gorey, that guy is strong as hell.

oh, and there is nothing wrong with fro's:)

ethanhawk · 23-07-2011 12:12am

Its going to be VERY VERY hot over there tomorrow believe me,

odonogj3 · 23-07-2011 12:22am

Roddy has it in the bag. People are under estimating Redmond, Chris won't like trading punches with him, in for a shock. Gorey for the win also.

I wouldn't say has it in the bag, we all know ben can ko people very quick.
I wouldn't say people are underestimating redmond people just think Chris is better all round.
I agree with the gorey part though

mate it's my opinion, yer not going to change it. I like both lads, I just think Chris is the better fighter, I'm not saying John is going to get beat like a government mule, I just said he'll get beat.

odonogj3 · 23-07-2011 1:08am

Fields beat a Bjj black belt who had a similar style to him, Chris will fold like he's done before to heavy head shots. Davis had a great KO but he was losing that fight n d kick got him out of deep water.

So ben was losing till he won?

Sher we'll know who was right this time tomorrow:)

odonogj3 · 23-07-2011 1:15am

Good point. Yes he did win and he won fair but I think he was very lucky his head kick paid off. They probably do 1/10.

Ask anybody, a strike only has to land once to win a fight. Ps there is no such thing as a lucky strike. Ben threw the kick, it connected. Seems to of went off exactly how it was supposed to.

Martin Walker · 23-07-2011 1:19am

Im gonna go with Ben to stop Owen as i said before. I think Bens striking is more direct and heavier than Owens and I think he will catch him. I think Owens chin is a bit suspect. I say this because i seen Hugh Brady rock him hard when he beat him in Belfast a few years ago.

Im gonna go with Fields over Redmond. By sub in 2nd or 3rd. This is harder to pick than many are letting on. If John connects fast and direct he could stop Chris but i think Chris will be wise and try to dictate the pace and let John burn out a bit.

I fancy Torres for a TKO via GNP in round one. Maybe even a tad onesided. Hope im wrong tho. Id love to see an underdog win.

I also think Gorey will win by Afro Samurai mong beasting.

odonogj3 · 23-07-2011 1:34am

Roddy
Gorey
Redmond

HellsAngel · 23-07-2011 10:50am

Was out at the Square yesterday, must say i enjoyed some of the ' nice to get to get to know you ' greetings

Particuliarily the middleweight fighters Chris Feilds and John Redmond. Somehow I don't think either of them will be sending Xmas cards to one another.........

Excellent promotion by John Ferguson all the same, MMA is in good professional hands.
