It’s been over two years since the UFC graced the shores of the Emerald Isle, but with no current plans in place to return to Ireland, another promotion is eyeing a show there instead.
Rising British promotion BAMMA, whose next show will be BAMMA 7 in September in England, are in talks to bring a show to Dublin sometime hopefully in the next 18 months.
BAMMA Vice President Liam Fisher revealed the news when speaking with MMAWeekly Radio.
“It’s funny, we’ve planned our schedule for 2012 and we’re working on 2013 as well at the moment. We want to be totally far ahead, we want to make sure we get the exact dates and venues that we want for our schedule, and the O2 in Dublin is definitely one of the venues we’ve been speaking to,” Fisher stated about the promotion’s intentions to land in Ireland.
Irish fans have been clamoring for a major promotion to come back there after the UFC put on two shows there in 2007 and 2009, but have not returned there since.
UFC President Dana White has talked about going back there many times, but the busy schedule for the promotion hasn’t left a window open to return to Ireland in a couple of years.
