Alexandra Toncheva appeared on my radar about a month ago. I had not heard of her and chances are, you haven’t heard of her either. In May, Toncheva was signed by local, Irish promotion Cage Legacy on a one fight deal to headline their May event in Cork. Cage Legacy 12 Toncheva’s opponent was a…
Dana White appeared at last night’s post UFC 238 press conference in Chicago looking pretty pleased with himself. Good event and good fights. Early year glitches with the ESPN PPV platform seem to have worked themselves out. I certainly haven’t heard of widespread complaints about it this time round. White was in good enough form…
Clan Wars 35 is now wrap. Just to be a little different I thought we’d bring you the results straight from the Cage Side. Old School. Clan Wars deserve a big shout-out as a couple of fighter were accommodated at very short notice on this card due to the late cancellation of the Battle Arena…
Donald Cerrone and Tony Ferguson face off tonight in a 3 round contest at UFC 238. Many UFC fight fans are quietly grumbling that this is not a 5 round fight.

Paddy Holohan, the former UFC star, has topped the poll in Tallaght South tonight. The first count results from Tallaght came in shortly after midnight. In what has been a very poor showing for Sinn Fein nationally, Paddy and his Sinn Fein running mates have bucked the trend in Tallaght South. Sinn Fein look like…
” A lie is half-way around the world before the truth has a chance to put on it’s trousers “ I was going to wait another day or two to start writing about this but unfortunately both Newstalk and the Journal.ie have decided to run stories that tell a version of a story that is…
Since last Friday night (May 17th) Tullow boxing club’s website has been hit 35,000 times. 35,000 times in 48 hours. A 12 year old girl named Chloe Black is the reason for the massive interest.

I seem to spend a good portion of my time asking amateur martial artists to speak about dark, difficult subjects. Often deeply personal issues. It is hard to admit you can’t cope.
