sorry hear about the loss druid i am really am..
its ok for fighters like eugene who can train with pro fighters all the time and getting people to train him and its unfair for you who does not have that advantage cause of lack of pro serious fighters to train with here in ireland..and then you have fights cancelled and then you have to travel far to get fighters to sparr and train with you, and plus getting married and running a buisness.. its very tough for you but you have done brill so far..
its a hard game you are better than them,, its a pity you dont have a load of great fighter here you max your training and sparr with (respect to your own sparring parners)..
you are the only serious mma from ireland that doing serious fights in uk and should be sponsor and getting extra training rather pocket out youself..
you done great '' just get up druid and kick the s..t out of them..

Photos are great, some savage strikes landed by the looks of it. Sorry you didn't get the result your hard work and dedication deserved Rob. While armchair mma fans like me talk about it you have the guts to get into the cage and do the biz. Result didn't go your way this time around but I'm sure you will be back. Well done.

I get to train with Rob on a regular basis and was lucky enough to travel over with Rob and Louise for the weekend and it was a great opportunity to see everything that goes on behind the scenes.
Rob’s preparation was manic after a month off travelling the states on honeymoon he came back for about a week before heading off again for three weeks in the states and then back a week before the fight. at most fighters have a good support network enabling them to train with pro fighters all the time and get access to specialist coaches. Rob did all this all this without a coach and pro team around him or a sponsor. It is amazing to have come so far and should be proud of that.
I was surprised by the level of support when walking out everyone was up cheering for Rob(especially Louise) and having Tom Watson in your corner was brilliant. I have to say that over the weekend everyone knows Rob-Tom Watson, Paul Daley, Nate Marquardt to name a few.
In my own opinion fighting is different to most other sports firstly unlike team sports you have no one else to turn to and secondly I think too much emphasis is often placed on results- at the end of the day very few fighters go undefeated. For me it was one of the best performances of the night it just didn’t go Rob’s way. Eugene Fadiora has a vast amount of pro experience I think 10-1 before Bamma 7. Most people would not have taken the fight but Rob certainly took the fight to him and didn’t let him get into his game.
The pictures are fantastic and showed Rob’s talents. No one else came close on the night to displaying such techniques especially axe kicks and spinning hook kicks.
There are plenty of positives to take from the experience and hopefully you’ll get your rewards in the future.

Great fight Rob, it really looked like you had him when he went down like a sack of spuds! When his hand is held up at the end of the fight he has the look of someone thinking "how did I get away with that?". He didn't seem able to handle your kicks at all. Looking forward to your next fight.
