The Virtus Featherweight division has delivered incredible fights over the years… and on August 22nd, another chapter will be written. 🏆

With reigning Champion Shane Carmody sidelined through injury, the Featherweight Title couldn’t wait. Rather than sit on the sidelines and wait for the champion to return, Tom Buckley made his intentions clear—he wants to prove he’s the best featherweight around, regardless of who’s standing across the cage.

Representing Samson Martial Arts, Tom brings an outstanding 8-1 amateur record into this contest and has established himself as arguably one of the top amateur featherweights in the UK and Ireland. Technical, relentless and battle-tested, he’s earned every bit of his reputation.

Standing opposite him is one of the most exciting prospects in Irish MMA, Daniel Clooney from Holohan Martial Arts.

While Daniel has only had two amateur MMA bouts, he’s already regarded as one of the country’s elite prospects. A lifelong martial artist and exceptional grappler, he announced himself in spectacular fashion with a stunning flying armbar victory at IUR over one of the toughest featherweights on the scene. Since then, the hype surrounding Daniel has only continued to grow.

This is more than just another fight.

It’s proven experience against explosive potential.

A featherweight division clash between two of Ireland’s finest prospects.

And at the end of it all, one man leaves Omagh wearing the Interim Virtus Featherweight Championship.
