SFT 23 VR: Jeffrey vs. Assis OFFICIAL RESULTS
Aaron Jeffrey punches-out Bruno Assis in 3rd round
MIAMI (Bulan Agustus 15, 2020) – The long-awaited American debut of SFT MMA & Xtreme(Turnamen Pertarungan yang Menonjol), delayed several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, finally happened this past Thursday night with a “closed show” at Wynwood Studios in Miami, Florida.
“SFT 23 VR: Jeffrey vs. Assis” was streamed live and exclusively worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), as well as taped live to air at future dates on regional television throughout the U.S. on United Fight Alliance (UFA), as well as on Brazilian television.
“Putting this event together was the most difficult thing I’ve done in SFT,"Presiden SFTDavid Hudson tersebut. “The fight card feels like it changed daily. At some point we had 12 fights with a very international main card, made up of highly ranked athletes. We probably signed around 20 matches and ended up with five. It was also our first time promoting in the U.S. and without everybody at full force made things very difficult, as well as the production side. We ended up with a much inferior show, as far as production goes, compared to what SFT always puts out. Namun Begitu, the fights where really good, dan pada akhir hari, it’s all about the fight. I’m glad we did it. It’s not the start I had hoped for, but now we are ready to return in full force. We are looking at end of November, early December, for the next USA show.
We want to bring back Jeffrey and Jornel as soon as possible. With flight restriction to and from Brazil, along with restrictions to promoting an open-door event, I’m not exactly sure about getting them on our cards but, semoga, we can still get it done still this year in Brazil.”
Canadian middleweightAaron Jeffrey (8-2-0) took a step closer to reaching his dream of fighting in the UFC, registering a sensational knockout on punches of his Brazilian opponent, Bruno “Brunao” Assis (9-5-0) in the opening round. The 27-year-old Jeffrey, Niagara Falls, Ontario, unleashed a barrage of lethal punches to end the fight for his sixth victory in his last seven fights. This was the SFT debut for both of these main event fighters. Jeffrey vs. Assis was selected as Fight of the Night and each fighter was awarded a $1000 bonus.
Dalam acara co-fitur, Luiz “Buscape” Firmino won a 3-round decision over fellow BrazilianMarkus “Maluco” Perez in a grappling match contested at a 198-pound catchweight.
Undefeated Floridian lightweightsJornel “Ai” Lugo (4-0-0), representing West Palm Beach, and Missouri’sCortaviousRomiuous (4-1-0) put on an entertaining show in their SFT debuts and Lugo emerged with a tough victory by way of a 3-round split decision.
In a battle of Puerto Rican lightweights, James Hay (3-1-0) locked in a Rear Naked Choke to submitOrlando Santana (2-2-0) in the second round.
Miami light heavyweightJoshua Da Silveira (2-0-0) remained unbeaten in spectacular fashion, knocking out pro-debutingCody Rolling, fighting out of Banner Elk, North Carolina, with a perfectly placed kicked to the head in the opening round. Da Silveira received a $1000 bonus because his was selected as Knockout of the Night.
