The last thing Kieran needs is to be fighting a high level guy like Stevie dropping down from welter.
Sure Stevie's coaches will consider a catch weight fight at 73kg before the full drop to 70kg for Stevie. We done the same thing with Martin Delaney who fought pro at 77 then 75 then 73 before settling at 70kg.
The drop to LW makes a lot of sense, it wasnt that long ago Stevie was weighing in on the day at under 77 for semi pro fights and performing well.
stevie, where you going to fight first - On Top, Cage Warriors or somewhere else?
Ray has a Thai fight lined up at 75kg then he has the Stuart barrs fight before he drops totally
smart fighter management
Sure Stevie will be a beast at 70, Good Lick to Stevie on his Thai Fight, Looking Forward to our clash 21 July which will be at 70, will be my first cut also, as can do 77 same day as don't normaly cut at all !
Kieran will be training all over the world for the next year or so, training camps lined up in the likes of Sweden, Brazil, japan and the US - so he won't be fighting at all.
Looking at his record against age, he's one of the most experienced fighters in the UK, and his game all round is top notch- anyone who has actually watched his fights know his record doesn't reflect his performances and circumstances in the fights - regardless that is MMA.
So in response to this - we are taking around a year to tweak all aspects of his game, at which age he'l be 21- scary thought - and he'l be back and taking over the divison, im sure of that.
