UFC Dublin: Holohan's headline act ends in disappointment

Hometown favourite Paddy Holohan suffered a submission defeat to Louis Smolka at last night's electric UFC Dublin event at the 3Arena.

Holohan, who topped the bill following injuries to Joseph Duffy and Stipe Miocic, had no complaints after Hawaiian Smolka handed him the second loss of his five-fight UFC career. It is an untimely setback as there was talk of the 27-year-old being on the road to a title shot in the near future.
