From the streets to the cage – Robin Laybourn a true champion

For some people, getting up in the morning is the hardest thing to do. For others, it could be getting into the gym or not eating that tasty donut. When you think of a mixed martial arts fighter, you don’t often think of drugs and rehab being the hardest part of their day.

Kicking off the Battlefield Fight League 39 main card was an amateur bout for the vacant light heavyweight championship. Robin Laybourn took on Josh Morgan and was able to finish the fight in just two-minutes and thirty-four seconds.

Following the bout, Laybourn had an emotional post-fight speech with BFL commentator Darcy McBride.
