Irish UFC star Joseph Duffy will host a seminar in Dundalk this Monday night, less than 48 hours after his headline fight in the 3Arena in Dublin this Saturday.

The 27-year-old Donegal man will headline Saturday’s pay per view event in Dublin when he takes on Dustin Poirier in the lightweight event.

Duffy was the last man to beat Ivan Jorge and Jake Lindsey, while he has also beaten Conor McGregor along the way to help forge his own path to become UFC lightweight champion. Indeed, he has just one professional loss on his record, that coming in October 2011 against Ivan Musardo.

No doubt the large home support will be cheering him on against Poirier on Saturday night but on Bank Holiday Monday at 7pm, less than 40 hours after he walks out of the Octagon, Sanda-MMA at the Dundalk Combat Academy on the Coes Road will host a seminar with Joseph, who will give an insight into the world of mixed martial arts.

The night will consist of a two hour seminar and class and an hour of Q&A and pics. Contact dundalkcombatacademy@gmail.com  for details.

Sanda-MMA Dundalk, coached by Darren Lowry, the Irish National Sanda coach, are developing a new breed of mixed martial artist and have many national champions already in various full contact fight disciplines. The progress is remarkable in the short 18 months since the team started and it is exciting times for this Dundalk fight club.
