BFC Official Tournament Draw Set For Friday 13th February At The UTC

[iandean]

LUCKY FOR SOME....?

The British Fighting Championship tournament draw is going to be held on Friday 13th February, where the UK's premier unsigned talent will find out who they will face in the inaugural set of tournament match-ups. We will be filming this event live so that everyone can see what happens.

We have chosen the UTC (Ultimate Training Centre) in Birmingham as the venue for this draw. It is easily accessible and has great training facilities. The draw will take place at 12:00 hours.

There will be plenty of opportunities at the draw to interview BFC promoters, fighters and a number of well known figures in the UK MMA world

“We would like to invite the press and media to attend this unprecedented event. It’s your opportunity to ask us any questions you may have and take some great photography.

If you are unable to make it, that’s not a problem. Just contact us and we will send you out a copy of the press pack that will be handed out on the day. In addition if you want a copy of the live film of the draw let us know, we’ll organise this too.

We look forward to seeing you at the start of this new tournament in UK MMA.

[darthcrab]

mick sinclair and jason ball both fighting at CG, so they could fight twice in a matter of months, thats got to make things interesting for this comp, or is mick fighting at FW for the BFC? guess it makes sense if Rob is fighting at LW, and we may get to see the Reed sinclair Fight too at FW

[The Gimp]

[iandean]

[sol_dave]

can you tell us who is seeded?

[coventrywarrior]

me n rob arnt in it 2 my knowledge

Umm looking through the applications neither you nor you brother applied, so i guessed you was not wanting in, ashame as i think you and your bro would have been excellent additions.

no way... you serious.. I thought they called like every fw and lw out the other week?

[James Saville]

sucks!.....

[paul james]

It is a shame however the draw still includes some great names from UK MMA.
Everyone in the UK was contacted and offered the chance to apply for the BFC, either directly or via gyms, trainers and managers, however some choose not to.
Thankfully 90% of the top UK MMA names have applied and this should make the draw very exciting tomorrow.

[Reedy]

I dont think im in it..

[darthcrab]

I dont think im in it..

huh, why not? surley you would get in

[boxingbrit]

Rob is injured its a shame Mick isnt in.

[Josh Palmer]

[widge milward]

TTT for any news

[hfa/boxing]

the suspense is killin me

[Nak-Muay]

Me too!!! :(

[darthcrab]

thought this started at 12, hope this isnt a sign of how things will run for the show in future

[harderthansatan]

Probably talking to the media, and letting them know how the whole thing is going to be structured etc.
Still, hurry up with the damn results!!!! lol

[Duchman]

sorry guys. I just spoke to Kainer on the phone and he told me that the BFC is canned due forum negativity.
They are now instead of making fights, singing in a circle 'kumbaya' while smoking the cronic.

[harderthansatan]

TTT for any results, Im losing the plot here in anticipation.

[Rich Austin]

lol Calm down dear.

TT FRICKIN T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UWC]

Some Very Good Matches Already Arranged...all Will Berevealed Very Soon

[Serotonin+]

I think they may have bigger things to attend too in the next few hours than rushing to a comp to update IMO.

Here's what you should do..

[Nak-Muay]

[Nak-Muay]

If that is true he is gonna walk through all Heavy Weight competition, he'll just knock them all out... Game Over.
Boxers > MMA Fighters

Totally different, if anyone trys a takedown on Bruno he will just uppercut them as they shoot and knock them out. If anyone actually did take him down... he would just put them to sleep with a punch... even off his back.

[darthcrab]

getting bored now... any news please

[Nak-Muay]

Steve, it's true...

[JamieW]

is no one there are something

[Nimmy]

Not sure, I just saw the picture and got told it was announced at the event. This competition is only 9 months though, so maybe he sees it as a good way to end his career?

That'd just be a vicious beat down, Bruno wouldn't last 2 minutes

I know everyone is excited about the Bruno thing but i personally think it's a bit pointless

[Brett]

[harderthansatan]
