Conor McGregor disagrees with judges decision as fighter he sponsors loses at UFC London
dropped to a decision defeat against Bruna Brasil in the second bout of the night at the O2 Arena.A lifelong martial artist with a background in kickboxing and Taekwondo, Bannon entered her UFC debut with a perfect 5-0 record and a high-profile win over two-time Invicta FC title challenger Minna Grusander.
Just days before her first fight in Dana White’s MMA league, the 29-year-old from Ireland announced that she will be sponsored by two of McGregor’s companies - Forged Stout and The Black Forge Inn - for the fight. On Saturday evening, Bannon looked a little nervous as she employed a karate stance and attempted to point fight for much of her first five minutes in the UFC Octagon.
However, it often left her in harm's way and her opponent landed an eye-catching head kick in the most memorable moment of round one.
