From the early age of 5 Colin Meagher commenced his MMA career and has over 20 years of competing in martial arts not only on a national but also on an international stage.
Colin is our February winner of the Tipp FM & Talbot Hotel Clonmel sportsperson of the month and a truly worthy recipient.
Colin has fought in 9 MMA fights between 2013-19. He has accumulated an impressive amount of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu matches and has represented Team Ireland at the 2016 IMMAF European MMA Championships in Prague and the 2017 World Championships in Bahrain.
Colin stated “Some of my biggest achievements in martial arts have come through jiu jitsu with at least 100 competitions under me. I got the chance to fight and beat former UFC Middleweight contender Tom Kong Watson at ADCC Ireland back in 2018 and heel hooked him after a minute and a half.”
And this February Colin was the first ever National Senior Welterweight MMA Champion. All the belts in one!
As Colin says himself ' its a lifetime of work and a nice end to my amateur career.
If you see me in the cage again it will be pro'.
Well done Colin and we are thrilled here at the Talbot Hotel Clonmel to be able to acknowledge your fantastic MMA career to date.
