I gave myself 30 days straight to train in MMA / mixed martial arts having never fought or done MMA in my life before I had an organised fight with a pro MMA fighter.

You could see the guy was holding off on some big opportunities which I respect. He gave him a fair chance at the fight instead of sleeping him early
-
Huge respect for the pro he was a class act. He was holding back but he still gave you a proper challange and a hard time he went the best way about this. Hats off to you aswell you didnt give up at any point and you had a decent cardio aswell and a lot of improvements in figting skills aswell.
-
Respect to that MMA guy. He showed real sportsmanship and gentleness when another person with his same skills (but not integrity) might have hurt you pretty badly.
-
The pro fighter is a gentleman. He had a perfect mix between putting some pressure and not giving to much strong to not hurting you.
-
Actually burst out laughing when he was mounting you and punching the ground full force to scare you. Was a very classy way for him to keep the pressure on while not hurting you and ending the fight in the process. Good on him. Also nice to know even w that training he coulda probably knocked you out within 2 minutes from experience and sheer force But very very impressive work, you looked way less scared than I thought you would be after the first few strikes he landed
-
You can really see how bad leg kicks affect a normal person in this video. Respect to you Dara for this chapter in your story.
-
The pro was going at about 20 %. Shows you the difference between an average man and a trained professional. Great video!
-
Well done! Most would have quit after that first leg kick. I hope you keep up the training.
-
All you need to do to fight a pro MMA fighter with no notice is refuse to drink Conor McGregors whiskey in a pub
-
Absolutely incredible video!! The 9 weeks of hard work put into making this video really shows 💪
-
I respect the hell out of you for actually stepping into the octagon, I would’ve called off the fight after the first sparring session
-
You have my biggest respect. Needs a real man to step into a fight like this. And also respect to the pro for not beeing a Bulli and going light on you. That’s how you learn and that’s how a real sportsman behaves. Amazing video.
-
You're a gangster for this. MMA is a tough sport and you went in there with someone who has trained for years and years. Mad respect
-
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Respect darragh.
-
Great job for 30 days training! Imagine how you would be in 130 days! Or 530! Anyways he took it easy on you. Could of put your lights out numerous times, he's a nice guy lol. Good job lad 🇮🇪
-
Gigantic props to you. Also out of all "I'm going to fight a pro" videos. This might be the only one I've enjoyed. Because you trained and the pro didn't just try to massacre you in 3 seconds.
-
My man is literally just trying to die at this point....lol
-
He didn’t do all he could do but he also didn’t patronize him and thrown weak strikes, respect to both of them.
-
Massive respect to both fighters. To the pro for not going 100%, and mangling your face (no offense), but also for actually not treating you like a kid, and hitting your hard as hell. And props to you for even going through the training, let alone being willing to step in the cage with a pro fighter. Really well done video as well.
