The Kirwan brothers shocked the world this weekend at Bellator 54! The night started with Joey Kirwan facing off against Lewis Rumsey. Rumsey looked game and ready to bang but Joey's grappling ability was to much for him and he managed to catch the submission early in round one.
Jacob Kirwan had an upset over the "Brazilian Bomber" Rene Nazare. Nazare both a World Jiu-Jitsu Champion and a well versed striker but he had no answer for Jacob's takedown and top control. Jacob was able to dominate the the 10-0 fighter and give him his first MMA loss. Jacob won by unanimas decision!
Way to go Kirwan Brothers!
