“We had a really good year,” James told. “To be honest we’ve outgrown our current facilities and are looking at moving into a new, bigger gym this year. The fight team have had an extremely busy year as well as having some of our guys sign with the UFC. The numbers we’ve accumulated has been fantastic and that’s going to make it easy to find a bigger, better premises to train out of.

“We had two or three of our amateurs turn pro in 2017 and in 2018, we’ll have a steady stream of guys ready to turn professional as well as many ready to make their amateur debuts. We’ve a strong number of youthful students – a lot of them being teenagers around seventeen to eighteen years old as well as some learning the fundamentals around fourteen and fifteen.

“With the ratio like that, it’s only going to help the fight teams get better, bigger and stronger. When you look back to when I was fighting, myself and Paul McVeigh retired at the same time and the fight team never really recovered in the sense that, when two guys are competing at a high level and it suddenly stops, nothing happens for a while.

“The way our team focuses is different,” Doolan divulged. “I made a point to specialise in MMA. I tailored the gym for MMA – not other disciplines, so if someone came in looking to do jiu jitsu competitively, I’d recommend them to go to The Griphouse for instance. Our gym is fully MMA and I think it’s healthier that way.”

At that current point, Stevie was in the final fight of his contract and, per his then-manager, was advised not to sign a new deal on the risky basis of beating Felder. Since that loss, Ray has not been seen back inside the Octagon, but in Doolan’s mind, the situation is not as bad as it may portray.

“In the middle of last year, Stevie went and signed with a management company,” James unwrapped. “A guy he’d never
