it’s not an indoor stadium per se; it’s their studio, where they film all their, um, studio stuff.
26 is what Sophea said.
Gillespie was on the undercard of the Irish elimination series for the Contender Asia. He’s apparently a pretty tough Irish fighter. That’s what i could find on the internet, anyway. Like the other two fighters, Gillespie also fights out of WMC Lamai in Koh Samui.
They should all be terrific fights, I think.
