Offaly MMA fighters win at National MMA Championships

LAST weekend the first ever Irish MMA National Championships took place in Dublin. 

Four amateur MMA fighters from SBG Tullamore competed from Friday through to Sunday Ronan Deegan- Tullamore, Mantas Vosylius- Athlone, Andrew Barrett - Tullamore and Galway and Jordan Scully - Tullamore 

Andrew Barrett won his three bouts against Aidan Fagan(Quarter Finals),Frank Meagher(Semi Final) and Solomon Simon(Final) and became the First ever Irish Lightweight National MMA Champion.

Jordan Scully took on Marco Cardillo from SBG Clonmel and won by TKO in Round one becoming the Irish Welterweight National MMA Champion. 

Andrew and Jordan also guaranteed themselves a spot on the Irish team to represent their country at the IMMAF International Championships world wide this year. 

Well done to Ronan Deegan who represented SBG Tullamore at featherweight and Mantas Vosylius who represented SBG Tullamore at Middleweight. Unfortunately, Ronan and  Mantas didn’t win their respective titles however they made a great account of themselves and represented SBG Tullamore very well. 

The club are very proud of the four lads who are very hard-working and dedicated and are are looking forward to seeing their success and progression throughout the rest of the year and into the future.
