The story

Damien McKenna

Omagh’s first professional fighter and the face of the promotion — undefeated across three Virtus cards. Won the inaugural Virtus pro featherweight title at V4 with a first-round rear-naked choke of Alex McCooke, his third straight pro submission (after an armbar of Jamie McAleese on debut and a guillotine of Nikola Ivanovic). Has since moved up to Cage Warriors, rebounding from a loss to Keith Keogh with a third-round body-shot TKO of Pedro Silva. A former IMMAF Ireland representative who went 1-1 at the 2022 World Championships (TKO of Saeed Alhosani; armbar loss to Miro Honkanen), beat Gerard Ryan at Premier FC 1, and challenged for the Clan Wars amateur title, losing to champion Nahom Wedi.
