MMAThe former flyweight title challenger returns October 17 against Jamey-Lyn Horth, ending a layoff that stretched across pregnancy, birth, and the long road back to fight shape. The record she holds is still hers. The ranking she spent a decade building is not.
MMAThe challenger has heard every version of the criticism on the way to Saturday. His response names the only three people whose opinions made his ledger: a 16-year-old in Dublin, a wife, and a little boy he wants front row when the belt goes on.
