MMA Fighter Cian Smith on Cage Warriors
Midleton's Cian Smith has come a long way in his relatively short MMA career to date, and next week he'll fight on the biggest stage in Europe. The talented fighter will perform on the undercard of Cage Warriors in Dublin, a night headlined by Dublin's Cathal Pendred defending his title against the dangerous Che Mills. I sat down to talk to Cian about not just the fight, but his motivations to start MMA in the first place, the sacrifices he makes in the build up to fights, cutting weight and plenty more besides.
