Statement from Irish MMA coaches regarding Cage Contender pay issues

By on April 9, 2013

As a result of the recent Cage Contender pay issues, several Irish MMA coaches and clubs have released a joint statement

Here is the statement in full..

“It has recently emerged that all is not as it may seem at Cage Contender, with many fighters and staff not being paid, or only partially so.

The issue has been brought into the public domain by fighter Chris Stringer, allowing others in a similar situation to speak out.

A history of lies and deceit has been exposed, with several individuals owed hundreds – and in some cases, thousands – of euro.

The lack of respect shown towards the fighters and staff, the beating heart of Irish MMA who keep it together, is simply unacceptable and cannot be tolerated.

As a consequence, here is a list of clubs that have chosen not to work with Cage Contender in the future:

MMA Clinic
Team Ryano
Ryoshin MMA Lucan
Rush Fight Academy
Sean Scoil
Evolve
Ifs
Legends
No Fear MMA
Drogheda MMA
Team dungeon
Kyoujin
Karate Jutsu
Peformance Martial arts
Waterford Mma
Strabane fight team
Bullring Mma
K2c”
