Keith Kavanagah: my MMA fight from earlier tonight

-- Update --
Replaced the bad quality video with the new better quality close up video!

Ignore the accidental misspelling of my OWN name on this thread, my phone won't let me go advanced edit and change it.

My match with Alex Brophy from SBG. I gassed pretty bad round 2 but really started to find my confidence with the striking, maybe i should have trusted my hands a bit more at the start but all the maybes going through my head will be responsible for something beautiful with my game and I'm excited to train on Monday.

Awesome job brother!!!

That was one brilliant fight. Couldnt come to see it cos just got back from holiday. I train in Husaria Co kildare, where do you train? Will probably see you in smackdown next month. Take care

I saw an opportunity for dead orchard there, but you either didnt go for it or camera angle didnt let me see it. Also at 9:55 or so where you had his leg mangled while trying to take his back, could finish the fight there too. Well done to you.

Nice one mate, he got a fright when you put the calf slicer on

thought you had the armbar at the start. close fight. very entertaining

I train at Full Power MMA in Drogheda, Co. Louth. I'll definitely see you at Summer Smackdown! Whenever I had him in my guard he kept a good head pressure with his ear next to my head and it limited the movement, I regret trying to go the meathook path from where I was but when he's in my guard and my heads pressed against the cage, thats a no-go so I used my hand and leg on the cage to make space with a pendulum sweep-type attack to make space to attack the leg. Definitely surprised him, Paddy Holohan told me afterwards that he's stealing that calf slicer, haha! Nothing but respect for Alex and the SBG Concorde guys, solid team.

Ahh! I see. So many things we cant see from our angle on camera. So you train with my man DJLee lol. Good stuff. You train with Declan Kenna too? Yea, will see you there.

Congrats on an awesome performance!
