Think there might have been a fall out between ESPN and Dana White, so TUF went to Fx for a while but then they kissed and made up to make more money on ESPN.

Ring now and you'll be on in 5 mins. I rang to cancel Movies tonight and got Movies plus Sports(which I didnt have) for a year for £6 less than was paying already. |

Looking forward to the Kings hall tonight.Couple of mates fighting so hope they do the job.Paddy Power's prices for it are nuts though.Any betting men out there i honestly fancy Connor Cooke to beat Ross Pearson(can't stand him)he's good odds,and Pearson has won about 2 of his last 14.Think mate Alan Philpott will win via armbar but his odds are a joke he's 1/4.Great night in store anyone going as always.Any of you's know big Davy White used to play football his son is fighting and he's gonna be a cracker. :-)

No Greg fought on the last one.I missed it was in Liverpool,not sure when he's fighting again.He's class fighter and good lad him and Norman take the circuits on a Fri in Imma but don't think any of them have fights penned yet.I he fought in that show Pearson,even Bisbing says how the f**k did he get on it lol.Think he has won about 1 fight since.Cooke/Pearson both coming off losses to John Sheil from Dublin.Sherdog gives all pro fight records if you type names in or mma universe gives you all fights amatuer etc.Although sometimes they miss fights or give wrong results lol.Thats me heading off now bail.No drink though so for once you will see me out sobber :-)

Wish I was going to this.
Cooke will win easy. He will have a good crowd with him, wee bazza from Antrim as well has sold over 200 tickets for his fight. Cert there is a riot in the place.
My mate ronan McKay is fighting to. Good luck to him hope he's win which I'm sure he will.

Great nights fighting.Philpott nearly knocked Ritchie out way a head kick dropping him then almost armbarred him.Guy made of rubber then slipped into a triangle.Goodnight.lol.Connor Cooke deffo fight of the night.He near got chocked out then came back brill.As i said how yer man ever got on TUF is beyond me he has 1 about 1 fight since Bisbing knocked his pan in.Connor deffo good but John Sheil KO'd Pointon and Tko'd Connor who i think is only 3wins 3losses so way off a Ufc shot,or even near top of the tree in Ireland /Uk for Dana to turn his head.But deffo great win and will only get better :-)

Some slabbering between them over Facebook(can't wait)lol.Trained way Ronan up in Efr way Philpott couple of years back on a Sunday,fairly put the weight on to move up to middleweight.Taz deffo didnt want to stand way Baz was always gonna take it to the ground and go for a submission.Murrie and that Icelander must be the biggest welterweights i ever seen,looked like light heavy ,pure beasts.To be honest besides Clarke i don't think anyone in Ireland could touch Philpott at that weight even Taz his mate.Wee man has best camp in country with Rodney/Norman /Colin/Greg and the gym has everything lately i have never seen a team of as many young lads gonna go on the tear from it.Connor White at late notice took that guy apart :-)Took a mate up for his first taste of mma and we did a bet each fight.He always picked the guy way the most muscles skinhead tattoo's scary face etc.Funny how looks can be deceiving.That's him hooked now :-)

Ringside was 50-55 afaik Fair pay to them if they do, they should be getting a few quid as the effort and discipline leading up to a fight is unreal. That's before you start pricing supplements and good food aswell. |

First time iv been to cage contender and we were 3 rows back from the cage #splatterzone ;D fantastic seats. Defo will be heading to the next one, was a cracking night and some great fights. I only new philpot and Connor personally but found myself going mad for every fighter, some atmosphere. Big nab Cooke at the end fight of the night easy, very impressive. You stay long after in quasi? Some fighting outside the cage  everyone thought they were seasoned pros after watching it and wanted to try it out ;D ;D ;D good viewing lol |

Was there lot of fighting???nuts.I was driving so as soon as Connor won i got out and in the van,had to drop a few off city centre so avoided the traffic hanging about.I pele they get anything between 500-2k.Rem Ronan used to fight Ramble Inn Newry Letterkenny etc then turned semi pro-to pro,think he lost his job and i bumped into him up in Newferry skiing 1 Sunday.He had fek all to do so trained in Davys gym everyday and then got fights in Newcastle, Liverpool etc.All expenses payed hotel food etc plus roughly 800 a fight.He fought sometimes 2-3 times a month if injury free.The day i met him he was just off plane minor black eye and skiing way no kip.Adrenalin junkie lol there's money in it for local shows as a pro.Get onto Cage Wars or bigger shows in England and impress like Greg/Norman etc theres big doe in the states but fek all in the scale of boxing.Rem the first ever mma show in Ireland was in Europa hotel.Was like UFC in early days with maybe a kickboxer fighting a Jiu jitsu black they knew very little of the others tools.Only Davy Patterson and Rodney Moore were all rounders.Was either a straight KO or sum guy took down and tapping in 10secs lol.Evolved so well now think all the youth just use martial arts clubs or boxing as a high school thing and go on to mma and its really took of.Think theres at least 1 club in every town in the country now and all getting bigger by the month :-)
