BAMMA is coming back to the Dublin this summer.

The UK-based MMA promotion announced that BAMMA 26 will take place in Dublin’s 3Arena on Saturday 4th June.

The event will be headlined by a light Heavyweight title fight which will see Dublin’s own Chris “The Housewives Choice” Fields get his crack at Paul “Bearjew” Craig’s belt.

Scottish fighter Craig (8-0) has been on the rampage in the promotion. He handed Karl Moore his first professional loss in his promotional debut via second round submission before dethroning Marcin ‘Bane’ Lazarz at BAMMA 23 via first round triangle choke.

Chris formerly known as “the Killing” Fields (11-7-1) got back to winning ways in his BAMMA debut by submitting Dan Konecke inside one round. The SBG Swords gym owner will now get his chance to capture a belt in his hometown by taking on the undefeated Scott.

The card will also feature an all-Irish featherweight clash between James ‘Strabanimal’ Gallagher (3-0), who’s  recently been snapped up by Bellator and Cork native Sean Tobin (4-2).

Tickets for BAMMA 26 go on Pre-Sale Friday 8th April and general sale on Monday 11th April at 9am, and will be availble from bamma.com.
