“My Goal is to create a community within a community. Somewhere where you can be physical and social,” Holohan said in a press release (H/T SevereMMA). “I want you to step out of your comfort zone, with others who have stepped out of theirs.”

Holohan retired from active competition in April of last year, and has been coaching ever since. Throughout his career, he was a fan favourite, particularly in his native country of Ireland.
