BAMMA 5 Cancelled; Weather Conditions Cited

BAMMA have been forced to cancel their fifth event which was scheduled to take place this weekend in Newcastle, at the Metro Radio Arena.

Top UK heavyweight Stav Economou was all set to take on former Pride FC and K-1 fighter Bob Sapp, who suffered a TKO loss in Sweden this past weekend. There were many other great bouts on the bill including Sinclair vs. Pastor, Phillips vs. Kuipers and Petrescu vs. Makhonin. It is uncertain whether any of these bouts will be able to be saved on other promotions at the moment, as both OMMAC and Ultimate Challenge have big cards this weekend.
