In under two weeks time, BAMMA returns to the 3 Arena, Dublin for their first event of 2016 with an event headlined by a middleweight title fight featuring Cheick 'The Sniper' Kone taking on SBG's John 'The White Mike Tyson' Phillips.

The show has a theme of 'Team Ireland vs Team England', the Irish captained by Kickboxing & MMA sensation Tyrone 'King Of The Ring' Spong and the English captained by Venator FC champion Luke 'Bigslow' Barnatt.

Whilst this will add an element of fun to the evening, the real pleasure will come with being able to witness some of the up and coming talent from the British and Irish scene.

Here are our top four must-see SBG fighters on the card:

Dylan 'The Nuke' Tuke

Tuke made his professional debut at BAMMA 22 against Adam Caffrey and looked the real deal submitting his opponent after just 3 minutes and 27 seconds of the first round.

Tuke is a confident character and justifiably so. He is considered one of SBG's biggest talents and having made his BAMMA debut at bantamweight will now move up 10lbs to featherweight when he faces Mark 'The Prophet' Andrew at BAMMA 24.

James Gallagher

As another member of SBG Ireland, Gallagher trains alongside the likes of Conor McGregor, Gunnar Nelson, and Paddy Holohan, under the tutelage of head coach John Kavanagh.

Gallagher made his long-awaited professional debut on October 17 at Cage Kings 3 against fellow Irishman Denis Ahren and secured a submission victory in the opening round by way of rear-naked-choke. The highly rated Gallagher was supposed to make his BAMMA debut at BAMMA 22, however, a late injury ruled him out of his fight meaning his fight on the 27th against Gerrard Gilmore will be his first in the organisation.

Sinead Kavanagh

Kavanagh (1-0) made her BAMMA debut in September last year and won in devastating fashion taking just 17 seconds of the first round to stop Hatice Ozyurt by TKO.

The Dublin native couldn't have looked better in her first bout at bantamweight, simply overwhelming her opponent with her power and brutal striking. In a late change to the upcoming February 27th card, she will now fight Zarah Fairn Dos Santos at featherweight in the only women's fight on the card.

Cian Cowley

Cian Cowley is one of Ireland's most celebrated Muay Thai boxers having captured the national title, four nations honours, and numerous other accolades. Cowley made the decision last year to transition to MMA and will make his BAMMA debut in two weeks when he faces Jay Moogan.

Despite running his own gym, Warriors Muay Thai gym in Dun Laoghaire, Cowley is also a member of SBG and helped Conor McGregor prepare for his fight against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. His counter-punching style has drawn comparisons to McGregor and there will be many eyes watching closely and with great expectation when he makes his BAMMA debut at the 3Arena later this month.
