Will this be Chris Fields last fight if he loses?

Cant see why it would be. Chris Fields is still a name that can draw a crowd in Ireland IMO and if BAMMA want to hold more shows here I hope we'll see more of him.

On the subject of Chris Fields, must admit to not knowing sweet FA about his opponent but having consulted Sherdog for his stats, I see he fights for a team called 'Boxing Squad' I think, and has a varied array of submission wins (5 subs from 6 wins & 2 losses)

Chris will possibly want to work those trademark kicks to keep some distance.

This takes the number of fights up to 20!! For tickets starting at €20 how can you not want to attend?

One more bout to be announced Monday!

That_Guy

Got two tickets for this as part of a birthday present. 21 fights for €20 is pretty incredible stuff.

Less than €1 per bout.

Bargain and what a card.

BAMMA

Final bout to be added this afternoon.. #StayTuned

John_D80

Chris Fields nickname on the BAMMA website listed as "The Housewives Choice".

Haha. He always has come across as a pure messer in fairness. When did he drop "The Killing"??

BAMMA

Recently.

John_D80

I've counted 21 irish fighters in the 21 fights announced so far. Awesome.

Paully D

BAMMA, how many are you expecting in for this one? It's a fantastic card, fingers crossed it'll get the attendance it deserves.

BAMMA

As many as possible! The more the merrier and the bigger the audience, then the more likely regular events happen here.

BAMMA

And....

Just seen a tweet from Catherine Costigan - She is selling tickets at 35 and 48 euros from her website, no booking fees, free postage and you even get a signed pic - support our local fighters by buying directly from her.

Can someone put the link to her site in please?

Great idea and a nice way to support the fighters!! just had a look at her site..the only downside is that you cant pick where you would like to sit in the arena.. cant see where the offer of a signed picture either

In fairness nobody can pick where you sit in the arena from the Ticketmaster website either. You can certainly be shown options, refuse them and try again.

Really looking forward to this one now

thelibertyboy

looks to be a stacked card lets hope it gets the attendance

Petermc83

Tickets x4 booked... looking forward to it now!!

Great article in the Mirror on Catherine Costigan

Oh and for anyone wanting tickets you can get them from Ticketmaster or direct from Catherine Costigan.
Buying direct from her site allows her to get a commission and you also get a handwritten thank you note + she pays for the postage (unlike ticketmaster) Win Win

Hi BAMMA, what's the running time for this? Interested to see what time it finishes at in order to sort out transport etc. Cheers.

DrPhilG

Anyone know how the ticket sales have been for this?

I'm tempted to make late plans. Trying to persuade a friend to go but I hope if he does go the place isn't half empty!

Well if everyone had the same idea there is a more of a chance it will be Best to go regardless and support Irish MMA. We need more professional shows like this in Ireland.

Worst case scenario i presume they would let people move up closer to the cage so everyone is not spread out.

However I am not sure how much promotion has been done outside of the regular MMA circles? A lot of people new to MMA who I have been talking to who want tickets for the UFC show have not even heard of the BAMMA event.

mmapk

BAMMA seem to have a way better chance at getting the arena over 5000 mark on the night due to the card they have put together. Surging featherweight Tom Duquesnoy defends his title against Brendan Loughnane in the main event. More importantly, a legend of the Irish scene, Chris Fields, will lock horns with Christopher Jacquelin in the co-main event. Northern Ireland’s Alan Philpott takes on Regis Sugden for the British title on the night and various established Irish pros like Catherine Costigan, Damien Rooney, Philip Mulpeter, Conor Cooke, Karl Moore, Myles Price, John Redmond and Connor Dillon will also compete at the event.

The number of notable Irish amateurs that will compete for the first time as professionals at BAMMA 22 might make the card even more appealing for diehard MMA fans. John Kavanagh’s protégé James Gallagher will make his first professional bow on the night, and the anticipation around the SBG man’s bout is like nothing the Irish scene has witnessed before. Another bout that pits two debuting pros against one another is Adam Caffrey versus Dylan Tuke, and given their outstanding amateur careers, the flyweight contest is shaping up to be one to remember.

Got my tickets last night. Does anyone know if the running order of the fights is as advertised on the BAMMA website?

mmapk really does have a way to whet the appetite!

I've heard James Gallagher is out too.

No way? Ah, crap. He was the one I most looking forward to seeing.

DrPhilG

Don't take that as gospel, I was talking to a guy in work who said he was talking to Gallagher a week ago and he said he had picked up an injury.

Yes. He's been replaced by SBG's Luka Jelcic has stepped in.

Could you either confirm or deny the possible existence of any reasonable or unreasonable rumour/hearsay/conjecture surrounding the injury status of any of the above-mentioned fighters?

Anyone know where I can buy the 20 euro tickets? Ticketmaster is giving me 40 euro as cheapest option. I'm aware Catherine is selling them directly from her website for cheaper, but I'm looking for the 20 euro tix if possible.

Ah come on, we know you have the money!

Does anyone know if this will be broadcasted live on TV? Other obligations making it impossible to make it up in time?
