Las Vegas, Nevada, (Novembre 17, 2018) – Le Main Event de “FFC 34” a présenté un combat pour le titre de Kickboxing inoubliable qui a été rempli d'action non-stop pour les cinq manches de championnat.
juste Chanter (36-6-1) a conservé son titre FFC Lightweight Kickboxing en battant un challenger très game, Bruno Gazani (60-7-0), par tirage majoritaire (47-47, 47-47, 46-48).
Comme annoncé, ces deux guerriers (Gazani et Petje) se sont affrontés dans un Main Event très divertissant qui ne manquait pas de moments forts et de moments passionnants pour le public. Gazani s'avança et pressa l'action pendant la majeure partie de la nuit, en utilisant ses solides compétences de boxe à son avantage. Petje a pu contrer avec des genoux hauts et des coups de pied vicieux qui ont finalement conduit à la victoire par décision majoritaire. On aurait dit que Gazani avait renversé Petje au cinquième tour, mais cela a finalement été jugé comme un glissement..
Le co-Main Event de la nuit, était une autre guerre qui mettait en vedette deux poids lourds MMA debout et frappant pendant trois rounds consécutifs. Tony “Ponton” Johnson (12-4-1) vaincu D.J. “Da Protégé” Linderman (21-15-0) par décision unanime (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) dans ce qui était un slugfest absolu. Linderman a subi une grande coupure au-dessus de son œil droit au début du combat et malgré le flux constant de sang coulant sur son visage., il a quand même décidé de rester dans la poche et d'échanger des coups avec Johnson.
Kevin “Orage” Johnson (6-1-0) a parcouru la distance avec Isaac Luna (3-1-0) dans leur combat de boxe super léger. Clés remportées par décision unanime (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) dans un combat passionnant où Luna a continué à s'avancer et à forcer Johnson à s'engager toute la nuit. Johnson a bien contré et a pu utiliser des combinaisons nettes pour prendre la décision.
Dans un match de Kickboxing Catchweight, Mélétis “Cauchemar” Kakoubavas (33-7-0) pris Jermaine “J.J.” Fourré (24-7-0) avec un coup de pied droit haut sur le côté de la tête de Soto à la cinquante-deuxième marque du deuxième round de leur combat en trois rounds. Le combat a été arrêté après que Soto se soit levé de la toile, résultant en une victoire TKO pour Kakoubavas.
La nuit a commencé avec le poids lourd Zac Cavender (1-0-0) remportant ses débuts professionnels en MMA avec une victoire TKO au premier tour contre Marius Cantoneru (0-2-0). Le sol et la livre de Cavender ont fonctionné à la perfection alors qu'une série de poings sur le côté de la tête de Cantoneru a causé l'arrêt au 2:30 marque de la première ronde.
