While domestic shores were quiet for MMA action this weekend, the UK MMA scene was in full swing with two high-profile shows. BAMMA 12 and Cage Warriors 52 created some issues for the MMA world as far as how to enjoy both shows simultaneously, but with laptops, TV’s and tablets multi-tasking, we all got it done.
Last night the British Association of Mixed Martial Arts (BAMMA) held its eleventh event and final one of the 2012 year with BAMMA 11. The event took place at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham and was co-headlined by middleweight bouts between Jack Marshman and Xavier Foupa-Pokam and Alex Reid versus Sam Boo.
Despite another weekend without the UFC, last week was filled with MMA news and capped off with a busy weekend of fights. News dropped of two UFC 153 fighters testing positive following the event last week and the World Series of Fighting held its first event.
Today BAMMA announced that middleweights Jack Marshman and Xavier Foupa-pokum would face each other in the BAMMA 11 main event on December 1st. Now with a main event in place, BAMMA 11 currently has 13 fights including a welterweight title fight and Lonsdale British lightweight title bout.
This week saw Bellator 78 and MFC 35, along with The Ultimate Fighter dominate our Friday night with MMA action. This coming week, even without the UFC holding an event will once again be stacked as Bellator, Resurrection Fighting Alliance, The Ultimate Fighter and the World Series of Fighting will all be holding events.
As the UFC takes a little break from the action, Bellator took center stage again this past week as it continued its seventh season. Along with Bellator there is plenty of MMA news this week, including the next coaches for The Ultimate Fighter season 17 and BAMMA announcing the match-ups for their upcoming BAMMA 11 card.
The next British Association of Mixed Martial Arts (BAMMA) fight card to be held on Saturday December 1st is filling up fast and currently sits at 14 fights and counting. BAMMA 11 will be held at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, UK and feature at least two title fights.
After a busy weekend on MMA, its UFC fight week as the Octagon returns after a long break this Saturday with UFC 152. The packed weekend was a welcome sight with Legacy FC 14, BAMMA 10 and the premiere of The Ultimate Fighter that was a fitting warm up for the upcoming event.
