BAMMA returned to Dublin’s 3Arena for the second time in five months tonight, the theme was Ireland v England as most bouts placed fighters from opposite sides of the Irish sea inside the octagon.
These shows have become a breeding ground for the next generation of Irish talent, and a testament to the popularity of mixed martial arts in the country as both shows drew large crowds to Dublin's largest indoor arena.
