EPISODE 40 - JACK MAGUIRE

Jack Maguire is an Irish professional MMA fighter and  the current Cage Legacy Featherweight Champion. Jack is co-owner of MMA Cork, a gym that is based in Blackpool specialising in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA. He has represented his country on three different occasions at the IMMAF World & European Championships. 

Jack is a brilliant character, excellent coach and it goes without saying, a top class fighter who has over 15 MMA fights to date. As laid back as they come, Jack takes us down memory lane where he describes his journey to date, growing up in Cork and ultimately becoming a pro fighter. Interestingly, before making the switch to MMA, Jack’s main sport was soccer which included playing in the League of Ireland and earning trials in Reading Football Club in the UK! Some  topics Jack gives excellent insight into throughout our chat include his training and preparation, injuries he has suffered, grappling and striking, some beatings he fondly remembers, experiences in the octagon and his nutritional habits. Enjoy!
