After a sell-out first show, Mixed Martial Arts returns to the Black Box on Sunday April 13th with the "Tribal Warfare: Redemption" event, and this time the Ultimate Fighting will take place in the cage.

The event will feature many of the fighters that proved so popular in the first show, including Tom'ahawk' Haddock, Dave "The High" King, and Denis "Dynamite" Dalton.

Top of the bill will be a long-awaited rematch between Tim "Mad Dog" Murphy and Mick Leonard. Murphy was a Taekwondo World Champion when he lost his MMA debut to Leonard, nicknamed the "King of the Slam" on account of his noted wrestling ability.

Spurred by the defeat, Murphy has since become a full-time MMA fighter, beating most of the top names in this country.

All that stands between him and an Irish Title shot is the man who first defeated him, so now Murphy gets his chance for "Redemption".

The event is promoted by Point Blank Submissions, Galway's only Mixed Martial Arts school and tickets are on sale from March 10th at the Town Hall Ticket office, Red Light Records and Point Blank Submissions. More details are available from www.tribalwarfare.ie.
