Plus if anyone else knows of any other good gyms in North America who have fighter accommodation available and offer training packages, recommendations are welcome. I know Matt Hughes used to...

Would like to know this too. I've done the Thailand thing already and would love to look at visiting a North American gym or Brazilian place next. The costing for a Brazilian trip isn't as cheap as I...

I'm pretty sure a few of the guys I would speak to at Tony's said Top Team had started doing BJJ classes but I never went so I'm not sure. I heard Top Team's MMA classes were pretty good though, and...

Great points already made in this thread and most of what I was going to say has already been said. I would usually agree with the people who said not to stay at the camp, as I did so myself and was...

Hope there's a stream of the HDNet broadcast or a recording of the whole event appears somewhere online.

This was a great fight, what a night for MMA!

I hope Bellator starts putting up full fights on YouTube regularly now...

Cheers for the reply dunny, I think you're probably spot on about everything.

About 76kg, but there's little to no muscle in that! lol. And only about four months, two hour sessions three to four times a week. I understand this is waaaaaaay too early to know what I'll be able...

I was going to ask a similar question to the OP. I'm pretty early into my BJJ journey but I feel I've got a good grasp of what I've learned so far. My problem is I'm fairly weak for my size at the...

Congrats on the win, this was the fight of the night for me!

I'm aware that was how it was proposed initially but the way James is saying he will run his shows is to offer three types of fight:

C Class - Under CURRENT semi-pro rule
B Class - Under NSAC...

This seems like a fair enough comprimise to usher in a change...

A few questions James:

Will both B & C class be fought with 6-8oz sparring gloves? As far as I'm aware current semi-pro is...

@Rab
Get rid of the Semi-Pro / Amateur names altogether. I don't know about everyone else but the name Semi-Pro suggests to me that there is a level above (Pro) and below it (Amateur) and that it is...

All to do with PPV, they can still put on cards in places like Brazil & Australia to fit in with their usual PPV times. Putting on a UK show means it being on free tv because they're not going to run...

Ok, so I didn’t initially feel it was my place to start this thread but somebody may as well get the ball rolling. If you’ve read the “Nsac amateur vs uk amateur/semi-pro” thread you will have seen...

I don't feel it's my place either, which was why I was asking for someone like James Doolan's input. It just needs the backing of someone with an influence on the Scottish scene to get the ball...

You're a promoter, matchmaker and member of the biggest team in Scotland. What would be your preference for rule set and fight classification from the three options; two class, three class or stay as...

I think finding a widely agreed upon solution to rule sets and classifications of fights is more important to focus on at this point. Once that is out of the way then things such as purses can be...

I personally don't see the need for a "B class" as stated, if it's being recorded as pro then my opinion would be it should be fought under full pro rules but it seems a good few people do think it...

Another +1 for this.

I don't see why this can't easily be put into place in Scotland for all 2012 fights. Do away completely with the term "semi-pro" & "amateur", just have A, B & C class fights....

Matt Mitrione?

Good features, thanks.

Well done guys, you both put on a great show and the Graham Turner fight was a well deserved FOTN. It was a great event, watched the stream on here with a few beers before heading out, McVeigh's...

Nice one! I'm gutted to be missing this.

I really didn't expect to get anything due to my low post count but received a pair of shorts today and they're fantastic, I'll definitely repay the gesture the next time I'm buying some new gear.
