Tom Duquesnoy will defend his British Association of Mixed Martial Arts bantamweight championship against Alan Philpott in the BAMMA 27 main event on Dec. 16 at 3Arena in Dublin.
Widely hailed as Europe’s top prospect, Duquesnoy will carry a four-fight winning streak into the match. The 23-year-old Frenchman last appeared at BAMMA 25 in May, when he knocked out Shay Walsh with a first-round elbow. It took all of 75 seconds. Duquesnoy has thrown out his anchor at Jackson-Wink MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico, linking arms with one of the most successful camps in the sport.
