Ring of Truth 3

Tim Murphy recently took on Colm O'Reilly from SBG at Ring of Truth 3.

From the get go, O'Reilly rushed forward looking for the takedown and it wasn’t long before he got Murphy on his back. However, Murphy was able to tangle up O'Reilly well inside his half guard. The referee wasted no time in standing the fight back up. O'Reilly immediately scored with another takedown. Murphy tried to work a Guillotine choke, but was unable to finish it, with the fight at a stalemate it was again stood up.

From here, Murphy landed a barrage of solid combinations mixing things up well with punches and leg kicks, but the spell of aggression gave O'Reilly an opening and he secured another takedown. Murphy tried another Guillotine choke from the bottom, but O'Reilly easily avoided once again and landed some good head shots. O’Reilly then took a risk and rolled for a Guillotine choke of his own, but could not finish it, but he managed to finish the round strong regardless with more solid punches to the head.

In the second round, Murphy landed a hard high kick to the head of O'Reilly, which dropped the SBG fighter. Murphy followed him to the mat landing consecutive strikes, but O'Reilly covered up and scrambled up to the feet, which resulted in him being knocked down again and this time Murphy made no mistakes and landed enough strikes to warrant a TKO stoppage from the referee late in the second round.
