Meet the teenage cage fighter that's dreaming of UFC glory

The Northern Irish youngster has been training alongside Conor McGregor and Cathal Pendred for the past year.

WE WANT YOU to commit the name James Gallagher to your memory banks. The 16-year-old is a promising MMA fighter who has been cage figthing since the tender age of 13.

Last year, Gallagher, who is competing in the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship this June, started training in Straight Blast Gym Ireland alongside Irish MMA stars such as Conor McGregor and Cathal Pendred.

A short documentary, called MMA Kid, has been released and follows the teenager as he starts off on the road to, what he hopes will be, UFC title glory. Check out the video here:
