Posted by Alan Murphy on 29 October, 2018 | Read more →

'The Diamond' Decky Dalton (7-4) returns to Cage Legacy to headline their next event on December 1 at the Good Counsel GAA club in Dublin, Ireland and he will face French fighter Tom Pédréno (0-5).

Dalton will be looking to get back to winning ways after going on a 1-4 skid over the past couple of years. The FAI fighter has had some hard luck and tough fights as of late.

Two of those losses were against top fighters like Peter Queally and UFC vet Jonathan Brookins and an unfortunate cut accounted for one loss also.

Pédréno comes into this fight off five straight losses in his pro career. He started out losing the first three in the first round, including one against top UK fighter Gavin Hughes (9-1), but has went the distance in his past two fights.

Cage Legacy 10 will also feature a number of amateur title fights and a host of top amateur fighters from all over Ireland.

A huge fight for Irish MMA was announced today today. Tommy Quinn (7-4) and Konrad Iwanowski (6-3) will fight for the MTK European Middleweight title on November 17 in Newcastle, England at MTK: The Rising.

The Newcastle-based Quinn made his MTK MMA debut earlier this year with a second round TKO win over well-travelled French veteran Vincent del Guerra (24-20). This win put an end to a bad patch for Quinn following a number of injuries that only saw him compete three times since 2013.

Quinn has been competing professionally since 2008 and holds wins over the likes of Philip Mulpeter, Shaun Lomas and Dan Hope and is a Cage Warriors veteran.

Although he hails from Poland, Konrad Iwanowski has been part of the Irish MMA scene for his entire MMA career and is a member of the SBG Swords and Fantom fight teams in Dublin.

A KSW and Cage Warriors veteran, Iwanowski will be looking to get back in the win column after narrowly losing his last contest by split decision.

Both Quinn and Iwanowski have proved that they always come to fight. This has all the makings of a classic.

Clan Wars 33 gets a new main event

Posted by Alan Murphy on 25 October, 2018 | Read more →

Clan Wars 33 has a new main event. Last night the promotion revealed that an injury had forced the returning Michael Doyle from the card and a new main event will take its place.

That fight will be Ryoshin's Makinde Adeyemi (0-1) vs. IFS fighter Daniel Olenjiczak (2-2-1).

The very well-rounded Olenjiczak has made four appearances under the BAMMA banner and has registered wins over the likes of Steve Owens and Jonathan Reid. A loss in his last fight at Brave in Belfast will make the Polish-born fighter all that more motivated on November 17.

Makinde Adeyemi had a very busy amateur career seemingly travelling everywhere around Ireland and Europe to ply and learn his trade. He made his pro debut in September this year but unfortunately lost via submission early in the first.

Now the powerful youngster will get a chance to register his first win and against a respected pro fighter in Olejniczak.

Clan Wars 33 takes place at the Ulster Hall on November 17. Remaining tickets can be bought here.

SBG fighter Cian Cowley (1-1) returns to action on November 16 when he faces English fighter Hardeep Rai (3-1) at Brace CF 18 in Bahrain.

The popular Dublin fighter made his Brave debut in Belfast during the summer and registered his first win as a professional with a TKO victory over Daniel Olejniczak (2-2).

He now faces a fellow amateur IMMAF bronze medalist Hardeep Rai in what should be a tough test for the former muay thai fighter.

Rai has won all his fights via stoppage, including two submission and a win over a much more experienced Mahmoud Fawaz (8-3) in his last outing in September.
