-77KG TITLE
DAITAN JACKSON V CHRIS NOON

Is that a 'semi pro' title fight or pro?

[Waterboy]

Is that a 'semi pro' title fight or pro?

Fairly sure they're all 'no headshots on the ground' AMMA type rules except for the 2 B-class bouts at the end.

Would wish luck to Rick, Mike and Dobbo, but they clearly don't need it.

Thanks mate, do you know if the 'B- class' are with the bigger gloves etc?

[Waterboy]

I'm not even sure that the Semi/Am bouts are with bigger gloves, so I doubt it.

John who posts as Hardhead on here will know.

Thanks mate. Never heard of this show before. Is it always a similar format? Might be good to get some beginners on.

[Waterboy]

Think it's always been a purely 'Semi-Pro' show in the past, a-la AFL/AMMA. This is the first time I've seen Pro fights on the card.

You can always get amateur (as if you or Aaron would hear of it! ) and semi-pro fights on the Cage Gladiators undercard as well - there's a show every 6 weeks (including the Manchester one) this year.

aLSO LIKE TO WISH RICK, MIKE AND MATT THE BEST OF LUCK.

All fighters receive Sandee gloves for Semi pro and B-class.

I'm assuming by that comment that the 'amateur MMA' on this card is the glorified grappling no headshot variety.
