You can’t keep a good man down.
It wasn’t to be Joseph Duffy’s night on Saturday after he lost for the first time in his UFC career by unanimous points to Dustin Poirier.
The small consolation was that the Donegal man set a Fight Pass record with his three-round bout.
But with the world awaiting a response from the Irish fighter, it came in an understated way. And it came with the same humility and enthusiasm that are now just typical of the man.
It came… in response to WWE’s Sheamus.
The four-time World Heavyweight champion – in the acting circuit anyway – was one of the first to console Duffy after his loss but he did so admirably.

And Duffy’s response wasn’t just a touch of class, it was a lesson to anyone anywhere involved in sport. It’s all about the journey.
@WWESheamus thank you lost to the better man 2nite but I enjoyed every second of it 👊
