Cage Legacy MMA will see the return of ex-UFC star Paul Kelly in the main event
The event promoted by Declan Kenna for Cage Legacy MMA will see the return of ex-UFC star Chris Fishgold, as well as former Cage Warriors champions Lee Chadwick.“We’ve been doing cage legacy in Ireland for a couple of years. It’s been flying. We always wanted to expand by going to the UK and Europe and I’ve been to Liverpool a couple of times because it’s basically like another Dublin. Once I went to Liverpool I was like, ‘This is where we want to do it.’” said Kenna.
Chadwick and Fishgold both possess years of experience with the latter competing in the UFC as recently as 2020. Chadwick’s greatest night came at the M&S Bank Arena in 2017 when he secured the middleweight title in front of his home crowd. “About 25% of tickets have sold already. They are on sale through Skiddle for anyone who’s looking for them. This will be a sell-out with the names that are on the card. After that, the only other way will be pay-per-view.
“I’ve done boxing and kickboxing when I was a kid. When I grew up, I started hanging around the streets, doing the wrong things. It took me a couple of years to say, ‘This is it, I want to go back to training.’ I took up MMA and it was like a new world as I’d only done striking before that. I’ve also coached for a couple of years.
