Claire Haigh and Brian Robertson’s fights in Luxembourg

This past Saturday, 2 x WPMF champion (and awesome person in general) Claire Haigh beat Dutch fighter Roxana Gaal in Luxembourg. This was Claire’s second fight since moving back to Luxembourg after spending 3 years at TMT, in which she became a top ranked Muay Thai and MMA fighter and won WPMF belts at 2 different weight classes. She’s now training at Fight Team Impact Luxembourg with Pairot Wor Wolapon (aka Kru Goi) and looking for more fights in Muay Thai and MMA in Europe.

Another friend of mine, Brian Robertson, also fought on the card after flying over from the states to train with Goi and Claire. He lost by TKO in the 4th round to the experienced French fighter Abdoulaye Mbaye. Brian’s been having problems with pain in his head since he was illegally stomped in an MMA fight in China last year. I’m hoping when he gets back to his home in the US he will get checked out by a good doc and something can be done to sort the problem out so he can get back to 100%.
