If you don’t know anything about the latest Irishman to sign for the UFC then this video is a must watch

In perhaps one of the worst kept secrets in Irish MMA history, it was revealed that Redmond had become the second Irish fighter to sign for the promotion in 2014 earlier this month. This came soon after the news that Donegal native Joseph Duffy had also joined the world’s largest MMA promotion.

Ahead of his bout against undefeated featherweight Mirsad Bektic on the UFC Stockholm card, Cage Warriors have released this astoundingly awesome highlight video of some of Redser’s best fight moments.

The Dubliner (10-4) was regarded as one of the most promising Irish MMA prospects before putting pen to paper with the promotion. He is know for his heavy hands and stellar submission game. Of his 10 pro wins, five have come by way of knockout while four have been submission victories.

Redmond joins compatriot Neil Seery on the early prelims of the historic event. Seery will face the explosive Chris Beal in a flyweight bout.
