No Limit CEO George Rose admitted he’s still ironing out the details as to how Paul Gallen’s epic fight night against Justin Hodges and Ben Hannant will play out, but floated the idea of a tag team bout in a fiery press conference.
Gallen will fight the Queensland stars on one night at the Nissan Arena in Brisbane on September 15, with Aussie star Harry Garside taking on Miles Zalewski in the co-main event.

Rose, a self-professed WWE fan, enjoyed the various types of matches in professional wrestling and even floated bringing across one concept into the ring that left Gal gobsmacked.
“We are working on what the process is going to be for the fight,” Rose said.
“Over the years I’ve watched a lot of WWE, I love the tag teams, I love the Royal Rumbles.
“I love the idea that if Gal stops the first guy, the music playing and the next guy comes running out.
“Whether we can get the tag team option happening in the corner, one guy’s feeling a bit too much heat and tags the other guy.”
Gal was left stunned.
“Oh, come on,” Gallen said.
“Are you serious? Do I get a say in this?

There was also plenty of conjecture about which of Hodges or Hannant would be the first to take on Gallen.
When host Lt. Dan Hennessey stated it would be Hannant up first, Rose moved quickly to pour cold water on anything definitive.
“We actually haven’t decided that yet,” Rose said.
“We’re still going to go through the process. We’ll decide by the last week. We want it to be an entertaining night.”
However, Hodges was desperate to take part in the first fight largely because it was the bout he craved.
“Well how about I’ll go first since this is the fight that I want,” Hodges said.
“Me and Gal can go first, and then Benny might be training for nothing because I’m going to stop him.”
Gallen shared the same view as Hodges and even went as far as saying that going second would be “a bit of a cop out.”
“I do agree with you there Hodgo, I think you should go first,” Gallen said.
“You’re the one who’s been pretty adamant about calling me out so I’ve got no doubt that you should go first.
“If you don’t go first, I think it’s a bit of a cop out on your behalf to be honest.
“I think you should demand to go first.
