Well done to Nathan O'Callaghan who won a very technical leg lock battle with a very talented fighter Sam from Team Ryano Limavady. Apparently we were underdogs going into the fight according to the latest poll but I train with this guy every day and know what he is capable of. He was very calm and weathered a terrible storm at the start. Wonderful match.

Unfortunately Sam was hurt and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Special mention to Killian Lawlor, Shane Sweeney, Aaron Scully, Ciaran Maher, and Garath Vaughan who screamed loud enough for me to hear them. Great camaraderie with all the Irish based athletes. Super fun.

How you should feel after your iron man for any belt ❤️

This man has become a close friend since day 1. He is someone I admire greatly as he has the warrior spirit.

He never gives up.

We all love him 💞

Great weekend at the SCOTTISH ADCC INVITATIONAL

Both Sean Phelan and Lana Kelly beat very high level opponents. Both with submission wins.

Josh Scully was unlucky.

John Kelly had a 15 minute war and lost on points to a great guy David Moore

Lana is back in action after a 14 month break. Come support her ❤️ This will be an amazing event and has an outstanding array of female talent on the card.
