Fight Club Hits Dublin, 'ARD!

Dublin saw the raw and brutal Fight Club, along with infamous former London gangster and author Dave Courtney, hit the capital hard last weekend.

The setting was the National Stadium in Dublin where a mixture of Irish, Russian, South African, and New Zealand fighters gathered in both heavyweight and light-heavy divisions to battle for the Irish Fight Club title.

The prize money was 2500 euro for the two winners and 500 euro for the two runners up... And boy did those guys earn their winnings!

Most of the fighters had a little boxing or martial arts experience but some were just raw street fighters.

The Dublin crowd warmed up very quickly as the bouts spilled over the allotted 90 second rounds and fighters had to be torn apart by the experienced refereeing staff. Almost all fights had at least one knock down and there were a number of fights that were stopped in the first round.

Most notable fighter on the night was heavy weight South African Morne Beutes who stopped his first two competitors in under 50 seconds before being beaten in the final by Dubliner Dave Crowley by an audience decision even though he was a clear winner.

In the light-heavy division final New Zealander Norun Katene beat his Russian opponent by audience decision.

Promoter Dean Smith intends to take the Fight Club all over Ireland next year and have the ultimate final in Dublin, so watch this space for details.
