Peter “The Showstopper” Queally steps in to face Decky Dalton at Cage Legacy on October 28th in Drogheda Co Louth.

Decky Dalton was originally scheduled to face former UFC Lightweight contender “Stormin” Norman Parke.

However the Nothern Ireland man was forced to withdraw, due to a 45 day medical suspension handed down to him after his ACB fight which took place on the 1st of October in Glasgow against Andrew Fisher.

Norman won the bout by decsion, but suffered a nasty cut to his eye and medics deemed the 45 day suspension was a just decsion.

Norman took to Facebook to express his disappointment in having to withdraw from the Legacy card.

He wrote.

“Its with great disappointment that I will no longer be fighting against Decky Dalton on the 28th October at Cage Legacy in Drogheda.

I was informed by Safe MMA that I would not be cleared due to a 45 day suspension placed on me by the medics in my last fight on ACB Glasgow on 1st October. I felt I was fine to compete and even got checked out by the hospital after the event and they recommended no sparring for 15 days. I also got CT scans taken at the hospital which showed I was OK.

I have to accept the fact that as Safe MMA are overseeing the Cage Legacy event and have deemed that I cannot fight. I am disappointed for the fans that this fight will no longer go ahead as it was one that myself, Decky and alot of other people were looking forward to. Maybe it can happen at a later date.

Anyone who purchased tickets from me please make contact so I can refund the ticket money. If this could be done asap it would be appreciated. If you still wanted to support the event and attend then let me know also as im sure will be a great night of fights.

I should be returning to fight again in December as have a couple of offers on the table atm which myself and my Management are currently considering

Thanks again for the support!”

Peter Queally will see this fight as an opportunity to get back to winning ways after his tough decsion loss to Joe Mcolgan at BAMMA 26 last September.

Phil.
