VACANT BELT. BIG MOMENT. HUGE FIGHT.

Two in-form fighters.
Two men coming off major wins.
One vacant Virtus Lightweight Title on the line.

Sean McDermott comes into this fight fresh off a KO win at Cage Conflict. Training out of Team Torres under legendary coach Seb Torres, Sean has built a reputation as a powerful striker and is widely regarded as one of the most experienced amateur fighters in the country.

Across from him stands Taylor Heffernan, another exciting lightweight carrying big momentum of his own. Taylor is coming in off two huge wins — one in what was possibly Fight of the Night at the last IUR, and another representing Team Ireland with a big win over Team France at the Elite MMA League in France.

This is exactly what a title fight should be.

High level.
High stakes.
High momentum.

Both men have earned their place in this one, and now they fight for the right to become the next Virtus Lightweight Champion.
