RAGNAROK 3 was a great opportunity for the amateur fighter to show their skill level and it was the best-case scenario for many fighters to test themselves. The event was well organised and the card looked prominent with 18 fights and an exhibition fight performed by DEMO MICHAELA DOUGLAS (DTB) and JODIE FAGAN (WATERFORD).

Both guys ended scoring a draw.

Another great performance by CE GORDON(BRIDGESTONE) VS EIMEAR CODD(VALHALLA). CE looking sharp from the first round both girls using sweeps from the clinch. EIMEAR showed her strong leg kicks while CE cleverly used her tip to manage the distance and showing the ability of her hands and knees coming on top with an impressive decision over EIMEAR.
