Bamma definitely have their problems. I know Alex Reid is popular but they probably done themselves even more harm by showing that fight. I streamed it from the USA as i wanted to watch prospects Max Nunes and Tom Breese. I could go on with the negatives.
Yeah, cage warriors are running things the right way. Im sooo bummer Alers/McGregor is off - the winner would have had 1 foot in the UFC.

Trying to fix fights isnt good for the sport.

i don't think he tried to fix anything, but yes, that fight didn't go well.

Daniella Curzon (ref) is taking them to court. The bbc are doing a documentary about it and the sun have exclusive article rights to the court case story. This is going to make MMA look soooo bad in the UK, it sucks.
One of many texts/facebook messages Danielle got.

I'm not talking about her and don't know anything about a court case.
it's a good show, that's where it starts and finishes for me.

Well, shes taking them to court over them trying to fix fights. You want to support a show that is trying to do that? Wow.

I asked Dave O'Donnell about that
Quote:
A lot of people were crying “fix” after the main event, not something I saw myself and pretty outrageous to suggest, how do you respond to them?
Unfortunately you aint the first to ask me this and wont be the last, did I fix the Ken Shamrock fight with Robert “Buzz” berry at Cage Rage 25?? Did I fix the Butterbean Vs James Thompson Fight?? What about Dan Severan Vs Dave Legeno … Some one who has put on over 1000 fights since 2002 I cant get in the cage and fight for them. I admit it wasn’t the best fight of the night but some of you may know or may NOT know BOTH fighters was injured going in to the last week before the fight and both still had the bollocks to get into the cage to perform for the fans. If I was to fix the fight, I would have had Jason winning the so I could possible get a Barrett Vs Reid Part 2 in the future.
