· BAMMA 6 Broadcast Details Released
Press Release:
Europe’s leading MMA promotion BAMMA are proud to announce the confirmed broadcast and viewing details for "BAMMA 6: Kong vs Ninja" plus the organisations first ever free stream via Facebook.
With a stunning fight card that features no less than 16 fights and world famous commentator ‘The Voice’ Michael Schiavello leading the commentary team BAMMA 6 is set to be the organisation’s most explosive event yet. Tom ‘Kong’ Watson will headline the event by defending his Middleweight title against PRIDE veteran and brother of former UFC champion Shogun Rua, Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua., with top title contender John Phillips taking on UFC veteran Frank Trigg. Cage Rage veteran Matt Ewin makes his return after a 3 year absence to take on Ivan Salaverry, making a sensational return from retirement, replacing the injured Phil Baroni.
BAMMA have now taken steps to ensure the fans watching at home get to see as much as the fight card as possible.
Liam Fisher, Head Of Business Development at BAMMA said: “With a fight card like this, it would be a crime not to broadcast every fight. We have guys from all over the world on this card, in the main card and in the prelims and fan favourite Michael Schiavello leading the commentating team. As we grow as an organisation, both at home and abroad, it is vital that we make as many fights available for fans to watch. Not only does this show the World what BAMMA are all about, it also shows people in countries all over what kind of talent we have within this organisation. This is about the fighters and the fans, the fighters are too good not to watch and MMA fans deserve to see these fights. It’s that simple.”
The main card will be available for $20 with the live prelims available for $10. However, anyone who orders the main card PPV before May 19th will get the live prelims for free.
