After losing both the main and co-main event in a matter of weeks, UFC Fight Night Dublin received its fair share of criticism in the final days leading up to the card. While Saturday’s event might have lacked star power, it was not bereft of quality action.
Headliners Louis Smolka and Patrick Holohan delivered a quality back-and-forth battle before Smolka disappointed those in attendance at the 3Arena with a second-round submission of the hometown favorite. In addition to the headliner, Nicolas Dalby, Darren Till, Neil Seery and Tom Breese all delivered standout performances.
