Observations. Satire. Politics. Interviews.
The time for talk has finally, mercifully started to draw to a close. All the millions of videos, interviews, opinion pieces, images and words have brought us now to this crowded place. In the maelstrom of coverage ( has any sporting event in history generated more digital content?) we are now at that place of…
One of the most fascinating features of the Hoopla revolving around the Mayweather/ Mcgregor showdown has been the social media wars. Well actually that’s a mistake because Floyd Mayweather hasn’t got a clue when it comes to social media. Floyd has 1.5 million twitter followers MORE than Conor McGregor but here is an example of…
Let me lay my cards on the table. I do not think Conor McGregor is a racist. I do not have any empirical data to back this up other than a belief based on what i have seen and heard from the man via the media over the last 5 odd years. Indeed i believe…
A little over two weeks ago I posted what I thought was an inocuous enough facebook post. In it I asked a question and set off a shit-storm the like of which I have not seen before or since. The question…. Just how the hell did featherweight Anthony ‘ Prettyboy ‘ Taylor, last fight and…

Guest Blogger – Logan Winger UFC Glasgow was not without surprise, thanks to a couple of fights that took everyone by surprise and not just the fighters on the receiving end. Sunday’s event marked the second visit for the UFC to Glasgow, Scotland and thankfully this time there was some action for the fans to…
So the dust has finally settled on an unprecedented World Promotional tour for , I suppose, a most unprecedented fight. Bottom line both fighters entertained and took to their roles with gusto. They got the job done and the event sold. At it’s worst moments the whole show threatened to Jump over the cliff along…

The only let down with BAMMA30 last night in the 3 Arena was the main event – Philpott Vs Walsh. It brought a somewhat anti-climactic finish to what was an otherwise excellent card. If you haven’t already heard, the bout was ruled a no contest due to Philpott’s Illegal kick to Shay Walsh’s head while…
It’s often instructive when interviewing a fighter to start with their ring name. Often times it’s gimmicky and bears no resemblence to the man or their ring craft but in the case of Middleweight Fabian ‘The Assassin’ Edwards it bears up to the scrutiny thus far in his career. ‘ I take people out clean…
Andy ‘The Carlow Kid’ Murphy has been forced to pull out of BAMMA30 but ‘The Carlow Kid’ has kindly agreed to do a run down of all the Fights and make some predictions on each bout with MMA Insider. Some great insights on the fighters as well. There are certainly some Interesting Choices! Incidentally Andy…
Kieran is probably one of the darkest competitors I’ve ever met – and maybe i need a little of that. The much anticipated BAMMA30 is nearly upon us and with 15 fights it promises to be a great show in the 3 Arena on Friday night (July 7th). There are 10 SBG fighters…
All the while Conor McGregor is strapped to a Meteorite headed for Jurassic Park….. When I first heard that Floyd Mayweather had agreed to take this fight i have to admit – I was shocked. Shocked the here-to-fore best business man in the history of boxing got duped into taking this fight. Imagine going…
‘If it don’t make business sense…it don’t make no fucking sense at all’ I remember watching an Interview with one of Floyd Mayweather’s business managers years ago just before he was scheduled to fight Ricky Hatton. At the time there was an exciting Mexican Fighter, his name escapes me, who many believed would have been…
