Louis and Lewis compete at XFC
Having been unable to match our team Muay Thai for this event, we dived into the world of MMA at a couple weeks notice..
Unfortunately, Louis lost on a split decision after showing immense fighting heart and landing some stunning hi kicks arguably one of the best fights of the night.
After trying to keep their distance with strikes his opponent, an extremely skilled ju jitsu champ took Lewis to the floor and won by submission..
Onwards and upwards and as a coach I love how game and fearless they both were..
Big thanks to Jon and Sean from Lift MMA for coaching the guys and supporting in the corner tonight.
And as always our great support in the crowd
Next time back in our world… The stand-up world of Muay Thai
