BAMMA 22 - 3Arena - Sept 19

Philpott fails to make weight so only Sugden can win the belt. Very disappointing. So many fighters seemed to struggle to make their weight.

Fair play to Costigan who refused to take Haga's fine due to Haga taking the fight on short notice and having to travel a distance.

but1er · 18-09-2015 7:47pm

Catherine Costigan deserves a massive massive reward, done everything to get the fight on and agreeded a catch weight of 111 took none of the purse

What an ambassador for the sport!

moneyman · 18-09-2015 10:47pm

She is a Legend! Just seen she has BAMMA24 tickets on sale on her website.
No booking fees and free postage so its saves you 5 euros per ticket and helps out with her fight camp.
http://www.catherinecostigan.com/

So if like me, you are going to go to BAMMA24, book via her site. No one on the card has done more to shout about IrishMMA and the need for Bamma to come back to Dublin.

Can't wait for tonight hopefully i should get to the Arena for 4.30 ish.

That_Guy · 19-09-2015 11:50am

Can't wait for today. Grabbing a bite to eat and a pint in the Central before heading up.

Massive night for Irish MMA. Enjoy the fights lads.

Yeah thats what i figured. The long show kind of makes it hard to gwt through it on pre drinks alone!

0ph0rce0 · 19-09-2015 3:57pm

+1

Nothing in the first post and scanning the thread is a pain on the phone.

I think I heard it's on spike, but do we have that channel on Irish Sky?

I'm heading out later but wanted to set a recording.

Great event so far. Great KO by DIAKIESE there. Marc goddard was in the wrong position to stop it though

Subcomandante Marcos · 19-09-2015 8:15pm

Is this on TV at all?

It's on Spike TV at 10 if you have that channel

Subcomandante Marcos · 19-09-2015 8:22pm

Never mind, figured out how to add spike to my sky box, main card starts at 10 on Spike.

see my post above. You can add it to the "other channels" feature in Sky.

Subcomandante Marcos · 19-09-2015 9:17pm

Haga with some smooth Jiu Jitsu there.

but1er · 19-09-2015 10:37pm

Absoulte brilliant night of mma

Shame about the fields and Catherine silly stuff cost them

Thank god for McGregor or this would of only been a couple of 100, hard to find any real mma fans

So many came in groups of 10 or more for there fighter and left! Leaves lots of empty seats

Anybody watching on TV will think it's a drunken Irish crowd

Subcomandante Marcos · 19-09-2015 11:40pm

Stuff like this is another reason why a UFC event in Croke Park will never happen.

Beersmith · 19-09-2015 11:42pm

I was questioning their decision to let bottles into the area, seemed like danger. Only agro groups i saw tonight were the ones following the English fighters.

There were bottles in the arena? That's just stupidly.

Anyone at the event see Mlambo/O'Gorman or Tuke/Caffrey?

Sounds like they were impressive pro debuts. Shame there's no video of them anywhere yet.

My brother saw a bad quality video of the Mlambo one, he dropped him with a left hook I think, I've yet to see it myself. The video was a poor quality recording of the big screen or some such, might be floating around facebook somewhere.

Cheers, will have a look.

Just in the door after the long drive home. Great night of fights. Some big names for the future made their mark tonight.

Well done BAMMA. Cant wait for BAMMA 24 now.

ricero · 20-09-2015 11:01am

So much scumbags at this last night it was like being at an aslan concert. Fights and everything in the corridors near the toilets.I shudder to think what the crowd would be like at croke park if ufc fights there. Drunken idiots spoiling a great event

paska · 20-09-2015 11:10am

Paid €200 for two tickets. Had great seats beside the stage. Everything was going great until 4 drunk yobs arrived and started dancing when the music came on, spilling drink all over the place and my mate.
Kinda ruined the night because they should have been removed as it went on for hours.

Apart from that it was a great night.

Beersmith · 20-09-2015 11:36am

For anyone that thinks that the 'real mma' fans at these events are much better than the crowd at ufc events are much better then they are definitely wrong. I saw much worse behaviour at this event than the previous 3 ufc events ive been at combined.

Beersmith · 20-09-2015 11:52am

Terrible article on rte about it:http://www.rte.ie/sport/mma/2015/0920/729061-alan-philpott/
Used the picture from the last ufc event and said philpott won the title even though he didn't!

John_D80 · 20-09-2015 12:04pm

Had a guy a few seats down from me (complete with obligatory TapOut shirt) that was explaining every single strike, takedown, submission attempt and reversal in great detail as loudly as he could to his bored/oblivious/uninterested girlfriend just so everyone around him knew that he trained MMA.

Highlight of the night for me was when the guy in front of him (Nose smashed flat across his face from years of getting punched and two of the worst cauliflower ears I've ever seen) turned around at one stage, looked him up and down and just laughed out loud.

Tapout guy, didn't say a word for the rest of the night!!

Good craic.

They were the two most impressive performances of the night I thought. Those lads have very bright futures. Tuke in particular looked special. Rhys McKee also looked fantastic.
