Even though the highly anticipated fight between Kane Mousah and Marc Diakiese failed to happen at BAMMA 17, it didn't stop the injured Mousah from turning up on the day of the weigh-ins to try and antagonise Diakiese as he weighed in for new opponent Vernon O'Neil.
Mousah (6-0) who fights out of the well renowned Rough House gym, has signed a 5 fight deal with the promotion and is looking to compete as soon as his injury has cleared up. His original opponent Diakiese is still firmly in his sights.
"I'm more than happy with my decision to sign to BAMMA. I have always wanted to fight for the promotion. It fills me with great joy to know I'm in the rat race for the title."
Mousah made everyone in attendance and especially Diakiese, know he was there during the weigh ins by instigating a verbal clash between the two and with managers and former BAMMA World Champion Scott Askham having to get between them, it's certain that this is one match up that will need no further selling.
Come fight night, Mousah wasn't entirely impressed with Diakiese either
"My thoughts on Marc's fight are definitely not what he wants to hear. It's simple I finish fights. I'm a killer, simple. My last fight was against a 9-5 opponent which I finished first round. He went 3x5 with a 0-0 guy. Now you tell me what that tells you."
Although he didn't compete, Mousah was one of the most talked about people all weekend, even sitting down to do interviews with the media in attendance. With Mousah and Diakiese signed to the promotion, this is one fight that the fans and media are already talking about as a must see in 2015. The hype has arrived. The fight will follow.
