War at OMMAC 3

fightnub.com — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:30:31 +0000

Tony Moran and Shuan Lomas fought one of the hardest fought bouts this year, at OMMAC 3.Towering Tony from Wolfslair MMA the fomer boxer just lost the decsion against Lomas perhaps the most active fighter in the UK today.

Moran suffered three broken ribs in the first round from a hard knee from Thai Boxing expert Lomas, and after the bout was rushed to hospital after collapsing backstage. He later found he had also received a fractured ankle in the contest which he probably would have won without the points deduction he incurred after an illegal axkick to the down Lomas.

Lomas went on to fight the next day on another event, and again the following weekend.

Could be a very exciting rematch.
