Holding the Tipperary and Irish flags, Will Fleury celebrates a previous victory
Cahir MMA star Will Fleury will compete in the Professional Fighters League Light Heavyweight tournament in Las Vegas later tonight.
The fight will take place at approximately 2am Irish time where experienced Polish fighter Krzysztof Jotko will be his opponent.
The Pole has fought in the UFC 17 times and will start the bout as favourite though the Tipperary man has shown remarkable adaptability as he rose through the ranks.
Standing at 6’3”, and with a reach of 77” (196 cms) support will be vocal tonight for the Irish man who has carved out a fine career in the sport.
The former quantity surveyor is the son of Denise and Charlie Fleury, who were antique dealers in Cahir.
