OOC: I decided it was high time i got back into a WMMA Dynasty and rather than restarting one of

my previous attempts i will start something new, this will be run on the C.V Expanded database

and will predominantly feature Celtic Fighters from the 6 Celtic Nations (Galicia may get some use

if too many top Fighters sign for other companies). Thanks to CageRage and

batsnumbereleven who's dynasties have kept me interested in writing a dynasty again myself and

who's dynasties i will be "Borrowing" elements of their layouts from.

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">News after CELTIC 2;</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

CETIC Fight Club raises up 1.6% in Popularity and is now at 13.2% in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Earl McPeterson fails Drug Test.</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo302/brettney1980/WMMA/EarlMcPeterson_zpsb10f8fab.gif</span></p><p> </p><p>

Breaking news from the aftermath of CELTIC 2: Pride of People, it is being reported that Earl McPeterson has failed a drug test. The test, which was taken before his win over Graham Goodbody, is said to have come up positive for some (currently unnamed) banned substance. If upheld, this will mean a mandatory one year suspension from competition for the 23 year old fighter who was making his MMA debut, his victory will now be named a no contest instead.</p><p> </p><p>

No new Injuries to report after CELTIC 2, but all fighters were handed minimum of 3 weeks Medical suspensions.</p><p> </p><p>

In the Co-Main event Caragh Green will be making his CELTIC Fight Club debut, Caragh is an Irish Wrestler and Boxer who has decent ability to Submit people on the ground, at CELTIC 5 he faces Scott Gillespie, a Scotsman who beat highly rated Jean-Jacques Levasseur in his last fight stopping his undefeated streak, can he now stop Caragh Greens!?</p><p> </p><p>

In the rest of the nights card Graham Goodbody who had his CELTIC 2 loss changed to a draw after his opponant failed a drug test faces Ronald McAllister in a Wales versus Scotland fight Goodbody is a big strong but not very mobile Fighter while McAllister is a former extremely violent bare knuckle boxer.

Will he suffer the same fate again!?</p><p> </p><p>

In the nights opening bout Thomas O'Cann who is coming off a TKO loss from his last fight and now on an even 3-3 record is in deserate need of a victory, tonight he faces fellow Irishman Liam O'Donnell, O'Donnell is also coming off a loss after dropping a Decision against Roy Lynch can he save his slide!?
