A key part of any organization’s long-term success is the ability to identify and procure international acquisitions because of the sport’s ever-increasing global presence. InΒ today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will be introduced to the newest Emerald Isle signee ready to etch his name in Shamrock green in the hallowed halls of Cage Warriors at Bantamweight as the calendar turns to 2025 in hopes of continuing the run of Irish luck in the yellow gloves. A professional mixed martial artist since September 2023 and representing SBG Naas, Max LallyΒ owns a 3-0 record consisting of two knockouts and one submission. He has fought for Cage Legacy MMA and has spent his whole career as a professional MMA fighter in the United Kingdom. Lally has never gone to the scorecards during his career as a professional mixed martial artist with a 100 percent finish rate to show for it. All of his finishes over the course of his career in the professional ranks have been inside the opening round within the span of five minutes or fewer.
In his professional MMA debut in the main event of Cage Legacy MMA 19, he facedΒ Jonathan FanardΒ and went on to defeat him via technical knockout in the first round. Lally submittedΒ Nikola IvanovicΒ via brabo choke in round one in the co-main event of Cage Legacy MMA 21 to notch his first and only submission win as a professional. Then in the main event of Cage Legacy MMA 23, he defeatedΒ Weverton dos SantosΒ via TKO in round one. The victory earned Lally the second knockout win of his professional career in addition to his third consecutive finish. He also scored his third straight victory and finish to start his professional journey in the process. Irish eyes are indeed smiling once more as this young clover sprouts into his second arc!
