"In order to choose not to fight, you must know."

SportsJOE

A true martial artist knows they don’t need to fight to feed their ego.

That’s one of the many nuggets of wisdom Dubliner Liam Dale drops in part three of A Warrior’s Path, an original SportsJOE documentary series.

In episode three, Ireland’s oldest MMA fighter shares his thoughts on unfulfilled potential, the power of hard work and the importance of fighters ignoring delusional thoughts in order to come to an honest assessment of their own abilities.

Liam has been on this planet for half a century and after an 18-year hiatus from competition, he triumphed at the WAKO European championships last year.

Liam’s mental and physical preparation are guiding him towards the the 20th World Kickboxing Championships, which take place in the CityWest Hotel in Dublin from November 21st-28th.

We’ll be there to see if he can claim the title.
