BKFC fighter’s face caves in during bout
During BKFC 68 in Newcastle, UK, Kyle Redfearn sustained a serious facial injury in his fight against Danny Moir. The brutal injury ultimately led to a doctor stoppage.
Erin Blanchfield won her biggest fight to date as she defeated the former strawweight champion on points at UFC Edmonton.
“I wanted that win so bad,”an emotional Blanchfield said in the post-fight octagon interview.
Since Manon Fiorot is likely to face Valentina Schevchenko for the title, the 25-year-old set her sights on another tough opponent.
“I would love to fight Alexa Grasso. I think she’s an amazing fighter,” Grasso said. “I want to get that win over her.”
