Last but certainly not least we have Fight Club Rush’s current bantamweight champion; Bernardo ”The Lion King” Sopai (10-2). Young, good-looking, charismatic, energetic and about as well-rounded as one could get, Sopai is destined for the UFC.
Turning heads with a one-sided pounding of previously undefeated Canadian kickboxer Tariq Ismail, Sopai now holds two straight knockout wins. First he finished Karlen Minasian to win the FCR title and made his first defense with a brutal one punch KO of Frenchman Julien Lopez in a sequence that went mot viral than a zombie infection.
There’s a good chance that Sopai makes another title defense in June, which could be all he needs to secure a spot in the UFC.
