Making a successful transition to the world of mixed martial arts is difficult for many athletes because they often are considered to be the face of the sport they first loved. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will be introduced to a steady stock gainer out to state his case at featherweight for Cage Warriors as a rags to riches success story. A professional mixed martial artist since December 2022 and representing Fighting Fit Manchester, Jack Claffey holds a 2-1 record in three appearances comprised of one submission and one decision. He has fought for Hexagone MMA, Full Contact Contender and Cage Warriors. The one and only finish during Claffey’s career in the professional MMA ranks has been inside the opening round with a time of two minutes and 13 seconds. He is 1-0 under the Cage Warriors banner. Claffey has a single first-round finish under his belt through his first three outings as a professional MMA fighter. He has gone to the scorecards once over the course of his career as a professional mixed martial artist. Claffey has finished one out of his two wins overall during his professional career.
At Hexagone MMA 8, he faced Kevin Cesari and submitted him in the first round via arm-triangle choke to secure his first submission win as a professional along with his first finish inside the professional ranks. Then in his promotional debut with Cage Warriors on the preliminary card of Cage Warriors 167, Claffey defeated Marko Sarasjarvi via a split decision. The victory earned Claffey the first decision win of his professional career in addition to victory number one under the Cage Warriors banner. He also picked his second win overall inside the professional ranks overall in the process. At 2-1, Claffey is the consummate gentleman in a world where overnight success can transform a pauper into a prince!
