Who takes it and how?

Loughran by decision. But not a close one.

p to the e

Does it say something about the average Irish MMA fighter size that one fight is HW, one fight is LHW (with only one fighter announced) and the rest are MW and below? Interesting.

Looking to see Dargan matched up well. Hopefully get a good scrap out of it.

Does Samy Schiavo have the Cage Contender record for KO time? 8 seconds according to Wikipedia.

Weird people talking about birthdays as this card is actually on mine.

manga_10

thats cause most irish mma fighters are funsize and funsize fights are the best

Patrick Vallee with an interview on MMA Junkie today. Fairplay John, this high profile card is building on the momentum of new years and keeping Irish MMA in news on the international MMA front. Everyone been saying 2013 be a huge year for Irish MMA and this card looks like being the first part of that.

John Ferguson

Thanks!!

I normally don't take the factual accuracy of anything I read on news sites as gospel :rolleyes: but that was a decent read to be fair.

After the controversy he created with Marcus Davis, Daley is at it again claiming that he has hand picked Vallée to knock him out

Fighthounds round up some predictions ahead on CCXVI

Sam Mensah (@team_mensah) – BAMMA Light Heavyweight

I’ve watched a few of Vallee’s fights, the last one being against Punshon at
BAMMA. Very impressed with his grappling skills and all around MMA skills but I
thinks Daley will be too much for him. KO first for Daley

Warren Kee (@WarrenKee) – Cage Contender, BAMMA and Cage Warriors Welterweight

Both great fighters but I think Paul by TKO Round 2

David Round (@david_1more) –BAMMA and Superior Challenge
Lightweight

Patrick Vallee by submission, But I like Daley’s standup. Wicked fight there
I cornered Patrick in Sweden it won’t go past first round.

Ok ladz, only 13 days to go, so what's going down ? No one has been confirmed for TKDer and SBG's Johnathon Dargan. JD should be a crowd puller as he is one of the most exciting fighters in Ireland winning fighter of the night in his very first fight and a KO in just 16 seconds in his last one. Coming form the SBG stable conditioning and grappling will be a given, but doubtless the crowd will be looking for his explosive kicks and punches. On form, hard to go against the big man from Tallaght.

14 fights that's some card. Obviously Daley v Patrick Vallee is the biggee. Vallee at 9 and 4 has won with 5 subs and 3 KO/TKO's and only been stopped once, so submission will be a big part of his game and he can take a punch . Cann't say I think a lot of Daley, no fan of Koshceck by any means but Daley didn't make any fans with his behaviour including myself and with a name like Patrick, well Vallee must have a granny from Ireland and sure we'll cliaim him if he wins . C'mon the French man !!!!!!

Cage Contender 16 Betting Odds from Paddy Power

BJJ_Expert

Daley at 1/7 versus Vallee 4/1, PaddyPower hasn't much faith in Vallee !!!!

Also see that Ronda Rousey is 1/18 versus Carmouche at 7/1 :eek: :eek:

Myles is a lovely price. Looking forward to collecting on that one. Thank you Paddy

Anyone know Which club James is fighting out of ?

BJJ_Expert

Hopefully I will be able to confirm the rumour going around in the next few days that a leading Hollywood director is coming to Cage Contenders with a view to casting some Irish fighter in his latest martial arts blockbuster Fight Club 2 with Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brad Pitt. Appearently Johnathon Dargan is the hot favourite to be picked, more to follow.
