Drogheda's hometown MMA hero Ciaran Clarke will never take the support of his people for granted.
Since embarking on his MMA odyssey as an amateur way back in 2012, Clarke has fought any and all comers over his 30 fight career and has cemented himself as one of the biggest Irish stars for Bellator.
The 27-year-old will step into the cage once more on Friday night and is taking a huge crowd with him from Drogheda. Over 300 fans will pack into busses and make the trek to the capital to see Clarke perform under the bright lights of the 3Arena.
