BAMMA makes a welcome return this Saturday night in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, at the Winter Gardens with BAMMA 19. Headlining the card this Saturday evening we will finally get to see lightweights Jeremy "Ninja" Petley (10-5-1) and Martin "50 Cal" Stapleton (15-4) go head to head. The pair were scheduled to meet at BAMMA 17 last December (2014) before an injury to Petley forced him out of the fight. Stapleton did go onto make a successful BAMMA debut, where he defeated late replacement Sebastien Fournier via first round submission.

Unlike his opponent, Petley hasn't fought for over a year, and enters into the fight on the back of a split decision loss to ex-UFC fighter Andre Winner, which abruptly ended his five fight winning streak.

In the co-main event, two undefeated English lightweight fighters - Jack McGann (7-0) and Marc Diakiese (6-0) - will be putting their perfect records on the line when the pair battle it out for the BAMMA Lonsdale Lightweight belt. McGann is making a real name for himself; at only 21-years-old the English fighter hasn't gone past the first round in any of his seven fights. Six of those victories have come via KO/TKO, with one coming by way of submission; none of his fights have lasted more than three minutes!

Diakiese, who's also undefeated, fought two times under the BAMMA banner last year, with unanimous decision wins over Jefferson Geroge and more recently Vernon O'Neill; the latter suffered his first professional loss in that bout.

Filling up the main card are middleweights Andy De-Vent (11-9) vs. Conor Cooke (6-5); the fight was originally scheduled for the vacant British Middleweight Title, but due to Cooke failing to make weight he won't be eligible to win the title. Andy De-Vent, on the other hand, will be able to pick up the belt if he's victorious.

Heavyweights Karl "The Wrecking Machine" Etherington (255) and Kamil Beselak (244.4) had no trouble making weight. On paper this bout seems some what of a mis-match, with Etherington (9-1) suffering his sole loss at the hands of Bobby Lashley at Bellator 130. His opponent is on the other end of the spectrum, as Beselak holds a 1-4 professional record, with all four of his defeats coming via first round stoppage.

Prelims fighters Bryan Creighton and Sam Creasey missed weight at their first attempt. Neither fighter managed to make weight in the allotted time frame, and as a result the flyweight bout has now been cancelled.
