“On behalf of Steven Seagal and Tommy Lee Jones, welcome to Under Siege 3” – that, my friends, is how you start a fight card.
Barry Oglesby put together a testosterone-frenzied card for last night’s event from Colmcille’s GAA club…with only two of the nine bouts going to decision.
Fighting under a new team banner for the first time, Oglesby’s Kyuzo made a good account of themselves despite coming out with only one victory from their five fights.
It was two victories in two bouts for Galway’s Point Blank Submissions and Rush Fight Academy, with the teams outstanding performances coming from debutant Gary Mannion (PBS) and the unbeaten Darragh Harte (Rush).
Lucan MMA had a particularly bad day, leaving without a single “W” from their five scheduled bouts. A complete mismatch in the middleweight division left the audience wondering how the Lucan coach let one of his men get into the cage at all.
