One badass card for a domestic UK event:
Check out a preview here:
http://news.fightmagazine.com/bamma-iii-watson-vs-horwich-preview-5147/
Obviously there are a few names that will interest American fans but there's even more that will have big effects on the domestic and European scene, with Lawson vs. Lee, Thoreson vs. Maguire and Sinclair vs. Weichel particularly pertinent.
TTT for The Silverback and his missing pic
Awesome event poster, no pic for 3 biggest names on the card.
Yeah it's odd, but I'm sure it's because they're all Americans - although I don't know how hard it could have been to source one from their management.
Their silhouettes looks strikingly similar to Carl Noon and Alan Omer!
Watson's last outing:
Horwich isn't at Team Quest anymore, he's at 10th planet.
Gonna be there, looking forward to it :)
Seth, where are you partying after by the way?
Is War Machine going to be let out of the fucking country?
will this event be on the net somewhere for U.S. fans to check it out over the weekend?
War Machine is already in the country, but I was gonna ask that too because I thought he was out on bail?
Anyone else from the UG heading out to this and wants to grab some beers before and after the show let me know
butcher4 - Horwich isn't at Team Quest anymore, he's at 10th planet.Thanks for that, wasn't sure.
RedCoat -
Fantastic. But let's get real, I'm British and even I know this isn't a big card.
I'd disagree man. From top to bottom, this is one of the biggest cards in UK MMA for a LONG time. Are you big on the domestic scene? Because if so, there's some real corkers on there that I'm looking forward to more than the bigger names.
And I'll be there, working though so unfortunately I won't be able to booze with any UGers :(
Alan Omer is awesome, he has potential to make it on the world stage
Lmao, War Machine is fighting a guy who is 4-8?
Lmao.
smoogy - Alan Omer is awesome, he has potential to make it on the world stage
Definitely, his comeback victory against Paul Reed was awesome. Really looking forward to seeing this fight, Ive heard a lot of good things about Adams.
Great to see Simeon Thoreson too, he's also a very serious prospect.
Lawson/Lee should also be good.
Steps - Lmao, War Machine is fighting a guy who is 4-8?
Lmao.
Zach Light, former Tito Ortiz training partner.
purist -Yeah, Omer's win was impressive. Especially as he was losing the fight up until the championship rounds. Takes real grit and skills to turn that around.smoogy - Alan Omer is awesome, he has potential to make it on the world stage

Thoreson and Maguire are both great fighters and if Thoreson wins hear then I think the big promotions will come knocking as he is fast growing out of the European scene.
Lawson and Lee are both very talented. I think Jeff will make a big impact at featherweight.
chingluksuwa -Yep! They're all popular glamour/page 3 models from over here:
Fuckin BAMMA girls look good....

Not bad for some buck-toothed, UK yokels, huh?
Is Zack Light still training w/Rampage? I hear he is an awesome wrestling coach, he just doesn't seem to have much luck when competing. Didn't he get armbarred by Pete Spratt?
The last I heard he wasn't training/coaching at Wolfslair anymore, but I'm not 100% on where he is/what he's doing.
