Fighting out of Team Ryano in Dublin this was scheduled to be Seery’s seventh, and last, UFC fight having gone 3-3 previously. The Dubliner has picked up wins over Jon Delos Reyes, Chris Beal and Phil Harris. He planned to retire, win or lose, after the bout.
Just off the phone with Seery, he's making weight but there's nothing they can do. Brutal.
