James Gallagher has been having this persona for a few fights now. It seemed a bit phony to me in the past but I don't know him personally, so whatever inspiration/edge he needs to fight that is on him. It just seemed like he was putting unnecessary stress on his shoulders too early for me. He's a submission fighter and not similar to Conor in fighting style. He is only 21 though and was undefeated prior to this fight so he has a future ahead of him - hopefullly he learns from this and realizes it is ok to fly under the radar at times.
I don't understand why he would have moved down in weight for this fight though? He was undefeated - submitted Lyoto's brother at 20 years old and decides to move down in weight? That seems like a bad decision to me. His body could still be growing and weight cutting gets tougher as you get older. Again, he is only 21 but I don't think it was smart to go down in weight.
