    1 - No bull ****.

    2 - No waiting 20 min for the next fight.

    3 - No **** national anthem.

    4 - A fan vote to see a least one fight at next show.

    5 - A catch weight tournament.

    6 - More then one match maker.

    7 - Cheaper tickets.

    8 - More money for your ticket.

    9 - Reduced price for bundle tickets.

    10 - Not the same refs all the time.

    11 - Better entrance for fighters,IE music more buzz.

    12 - Better ring announcer, add least some one that interacts with crowd.

    13 - Ladies Division.

    14 - More then 1 or 2 Clubs always in valved.

    15 - More information about different clubs in your area. [And mybe even sign up for a free class].

    16 - Sexier ring girls [ all though cant complain to much].
    Your list is a little confusing.
    What do you mean bull**** ?
    Why a catchweight tournament?
    More money for your ticket?
    They use the same refs because they are the best refs we have available in this country. There are ladies divisons just not a whole lot of ladies fighters available. In Valved? Have you been drinking? :pac:

    If I could get off my lazy ass and actually go to one of these shows, I could offer suggestions.

    Ooh, I was trying to think of a new years resolution. Think I have one now.

    In all walks of life you will encounter BS, MMA is no different

    strongly agree, the reason the Rumble has the best Atmosphere is because it starts on time and there is no gaps at all, just fight, announce then fight again.

    If it's an international fight i don't see a problem, if it's not then i think it's unnecessary

    I don't know why, Catrh weight is very Random and could mean anything

    Using the best refs is only a good thing, i would like to see 3-4 new refs come in and be able to gain experience under the present refs though.

    The fighters pick there own music just like in the UFC

    I do think the ring announcers could be better but i don't think there going to make or break a show either way.

    we already have them, there just very shallow and thats simply doen to not many ladies doing MMA.

    Most clubs do 1st class free and if you ever want to know about clubs in your area just ask.

    Please help and grow this great wonderful sport and suggest some things your self.

    It would be nice if this made a change or 2 for the better.

    My suggestion would be coaches all pulling in the same direction as there is certain clubs who definetly try to get easy fights rather than 50/50 fights, i obviously wont name any, but most coaches are aware of clubs who always play there fighters down or when given same experience fighters to match there own turn it down-thats trying to get easy matches in my opinion.

    Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

    1) - A moat filled with alligators surrounding the cage.

    2) - As far as refs go, an alligator in a ref suit would be awesome

    3) - Bonus points for executing a 'Gator Roll

    4) - Bring in Jacaré to fight an actual alligator

    Like Paul id like to see far less mismatches. there is a difference between a promoter/coach babyin their fighter and setting up an outright mismatch. I've seen one massive one already for next year. if i knew who the ref was going to be id feel obliged to inform them aswell.

    Shouldn't be difficult to find out who the ref is?

    Good idea, would love to see more shows around the country, the boys from spirit mma ran a show in December in Kerry and it was great, the mma clinic amateur fight night 2 is coming up in March in Cork aswell.
    The dubs get all the fun!

    I'd like to see more international match ups. Bring some yanks here so Irish fighters can give them The Bull McCabe experience and get some names on their records.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭p to the e


    A ladder match with the belt hung above the cage would be sweet!

    Would post fight interviews at smaller shows be a good or a bad thing i wonder?

    A stand selling some gear at events could be a good investment. I know they have it at Cage Contender and some other big shows and I like looking through some of the shorts, rash guards etc.

    Pole dancers... you an never have enough Pole dancers at an event.

    And no, I am not referring to some drunken Polish dude gyrating to a fighters entrance tune!
