Having the misfortune of working security at a club when Alistair and his brother turn up isn’t great
being stupid enough to upset one of them is borderline suicidal
Ha ha I thought of you mate when I posted that. Hope all is well
All well thanks , and yourself ?
I remember meeting Alistair back in 2003 or so, at the first big MMA event the UK had, Extreme Force at Wembley Exhibition centre. ( promoted by the London shootfighter boys )
He was still light heavy MMA fighter then so wasn’t the beast he later became when he put on 50lbs.
Was a nice chilled guy & mingled with the spectators and spoke to fans.
Lee Murray headlined that show with the whole Woolwich massive in attendance so it was total sellout.
Shame they never did another promotion as it moved UK MMA out of shitty leisure centres into larger venues with bigger international names.
Bang on mate

He’s another Isaac Lowe.
Just follows the big man around.

I hadn’t seen Hiruta before, but I thought she’d be harder to hit.

If someone showed me a photo of Soliman & said "this is a photo of Cleopatra" I'd believe them

Glad I'm not watching with this extremely biased English commentary. Assuming they gave her every round?

I mean, she is winning the rounds clear enough. But by golly the DAZN crew are mesmerised for some reason.

German commentary crew have it 3-3 after 6. And I agree with them.

Even fight again after 8 rounds. It's a much better fight than expected.

Not a bad little fight overall. Soliman still got something to say late.

Poor scorecards, Hiruta won but one and two rounds to Soliman?
Hiruta knew it was close, she asked her coach if she won after round 10.

He’s definitely been doing some one-handed commentary for that one.
