He ain’t heavy… He’s my brother.

Just a little shout out to my brother who had his debut fight at CFC (Cage Fighters Championship) UK 6 on 25th April. Dave entered the ring to the song ‘Why can’t we be friends’ by War and fought against fighter Jack Mills in the Ametuer Light Heavyweight category. He managed to tap his opponent out in just 54 seconds (Win by Key Lock). He was also voted submission of the night by an independent news site. 

Well done Dave!

Dave is a member of Medway submissions, a gym based in Kent, specialising in MMA and is also an advanced Kendo competitor. As brothers we couldn’t be anymore different in our recreational interests and tastes. As kids, I was always into art and design and he was interested in military history and martial arts. And yes, we’d fight like crazy occasionally, usually spurred on by myself, which could be why he’s such a great fighter today (don’t thank me!). But seriously I respect his choices and am very proud of him!
