To be honest, you're way off the mark there. Guessing you're from the north yourself and massively overcompensating for some perceived slight. But in reality, nobody in this day and age gives a **** where you're from. Some of the best supported "Irish" fighters weren't even born in Ireland.
The issue with James is that his persona has always felt forced. He needs to find his own way imo.

As for the fights, good on Gallagher, I'm delighted for him tbh. SBG shoing once again that they have solid grappling fundamentals, and that Conor is the outlier. Chinzo isn't an elite blackbelt, but he is a blackbelt, and the suggestion that he tapped easy is silly. He's still Brazilian, and no Brazilian is giving up a sub to a purple belt from Ireland without being caught.
As above, James needs to find his own feet, rather than continuing this Conor schtick. Bowing to Machida after the fight was a nice gesture and he needs to do more of that and less of the BS on social media.

As for Aaron Pico. Delighted his opponent choked him out after being brought in to lose. Pico always came across like a cockhead. Great wrestler I'm sure, but a few sessions with Eddie Bravo doesn't mean you're a jiu jitsu pro. Glad he got choked out.

Nice double standard there.

Hmm, I not sure you understand what double standard means.
Feel free to explain what you and on about though.

Edit: To be clear, it'd be a double standard if I was glad Gallagher won because he's been a cock, and I was also glad Pico lost because was a cock.
Neither is the case tbh. I'm wanted James to win, and glad Pico to lose for entirely unrelated reasons.

To circle back to an issue discussed previously in the thread regarding JGs size, I actually admire that he's still fighting @ 145, that's good to see from James himself and presumably John Kavanagh. He's still only 20 and there's no need to go through these mad weight cuts at such a young age. You would imagine if he does reach the upper echelons of the weight division then his lack of size will be a huge hindrance though, I wouldn't be surprised to see him move to 135 permanently in the next 12 months.

He's only 20 though so in the next 12 months he might fill out a bit more and become a more natural 145er.

That's true - was absolutely shocked there when i googled his height, he's 5'9, same height as McGregor? I never would have thought it, he looks like a shortarse

Has Davis ever had an exciting fight?

I only remember one and that was the one sided three round beating rumble gave him and it's the only time i've seen him beaten like a dog
He's one tough lad to nail down I'll give him that much and great at avoiding damage but my god he's as exciting as watching paint dry most of the time

Gamebred · 25-06-2017 6:22pm

I'd say the UFC werent too pushed after seeing that 5 round snoozefest then Larkin getting beaten, no one has really set Bellator alight from the UFC MacDonald might.

Anybody know if there's a way to watch Cage Ring Championship live?

Good 'ol James at it again.
After that he will be looking for a boxing match.

Bellator/BAMMA teaming up again. 3Arena, 10th November.

Gallagher will be fighting at 135lbs, almost certainly headlining the show.

DrPhilG · 08-07-2017 11:23pm

Feckin Friday shows are a pain in the hole.

gstack166 · 12-07-2017 8:00pm

Hi lads, can anyone tell me when the Bellator tickets for November go on sale? Could of sworn I saw it on Ticketmaster last week it was July 14th but can't find anything about it on the site now nor details online.

Cheers.

Surprised there's no Invicta thread, very good fight on right now!

Nice one! Actually went onto Sherdog about 30mins ago to see if Bellator was on, was a bit bored here.

Amazingfun · 16-07-2017 6:51am

Ah dammit, I missed ya

We'll do a thread for the next one because that was one very enjoyable card!

Subcomandante Marcos · 16-07-2017 8:39am

In surprised there was no bellator posts from Friday night. Decent card on in Oklahoma. Rafael Lovato Jr got his 6 straight finish. RNC in the first round.

Main event was a cracker too.

Paully D · 16-07-2017 11:27pm

Scott Askham vs Luke Barnatt set for ACB in Sheffield in September.

That's an interesting one. They have had some good back and forth on Twitter since Askham was cut from the UFC and Barnatt was playing for it to be at LHW.

It ends up getting set at MW and in Askham's back yard.

Can you watch ACB live? Where?

EagererBeaver · 25-07-2017 4:31pm

Larkin-Daley apparently.

Horiguchi got a nice win at Rizin, the ufc were mad to let him go.

James Gallagher vs Jeremiah Labiano headlines Bellator in Dublin in November.

He's 11-5.

They're already rolling out the "but he's never been submitted" line.

Ridiculous matchup.

Just laughable, any anyone supporting that muck by buying tickets is to blame.

Hopefully the rest of the card will have some decent match ups. Personally I'd never be going to an event just for one match up, it's the entire card that appeals.

dashoonage · 09-08-2017 2:39pm

Dildo Dannis might be on it....the adopted son of Dublin city Ireland.

Whelo79 · 19-08-2017 11:15am

ACB live from Russia from 4pm today if anyone is looking for an afternoon fix of MMA

English commentary from Bryan Lacey and Frank Mir.

Whelo79 · 19-08-2017 11:51pm

There was a good mix of fights on Battlezone tonight. Paul 'Redser' Redmond winning a nogi match by heel hook in 57 seconds and Lee Hammond winning his title fight by arm bar half way through round 1.

tinpib · 26-08-2017 12:19am

Bellator 182 just under way lads.

Not a great start to the weekend for SBG. Sinead Kavanagh just lost (split decision) over on the Bellator 182 prelims.

Only caught the last 2 rounds could have went either way in both of them.

I honestly didn't know Bellator had an event tonight!

EagererBeaver · 26-08-2017 12:56am

Bit of a mess with the top two fights on the card being catchweights.

MartyMcFly84 · 30-08-2017 11:33am

In fairness to him he always gets a huge following at his fights and sells a lot of tickets, compared to other fighters on the same cards.

MagicIRL · 30-08-2017 11:37am

Baby Slice is 1-1 and Cowley is 0-1. Why not call him out.
