Samo Petje (36-6-1) je obdržal naslov FFC v lahkem kickboxingu, tako da je premagal izjemnega igralca, Bruno Gazani (60-7-0), z večino žreba (47-47, 47-47, 46-48).

 

 

 

Kot je oglaševano, ta dva bojevnika (Gazani in Petje) šel od peta do pete na zelo zabavnem glavnem dogodku, ki ni manjkal v množici prijetnih vrhuncev in razburljivih trenutkov.

Petje je lahko kontriral z visokimi koleni in hudimi telesnimi udarci, kar je na koncu pripeljalo do večinske odločitve.

Linderman je v bitki že zgodaj utrpel velik rez nad desnim očesom in kljub nenehnemu toku krvi, ki mu je tekel po obrazu, še vedno se je odločil, da bo stal v žepu in zamenjal Johnsona.

 

Kevin “Nevihta” Johnson (6-1-0) šel na razdaljo z Isaac Luna (3-1-0) v dvoboju super lahkega boksa. Ključi so zmagali s soglasno odločitvijo (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) v vznemirljivem boju, kjer je Luna ves čas prihajala naprej in silila Johnsona, da se je vmešal celo noč.

Cavenderjeva tla in funt sta delovala do popolnosti, saj je vrsta pesti ob strani Cantonerujeve glave povzročila zaustavitev na 2:30 oznaka prvega kroga.

FFC 34 On Nov. 9 At Fight Dome Las Vegas Has Been Canceled

LAS VEGAS, NV (November 8, 2018) – Due to reasons involving medical issues, Final Fight Championship has announced that “FFC 34” on November 9th has been officially canceled.

 

 

 

Nick Sadeghi, MD of Athlete Advantage Medical in Las Vegas, NV, released the following statement to Final Fight Championship.

 

The Nevada State Athletic Commission requires a series of medical examinations to be completed by a professional fighter in order to determine the medical condition of a fighter, the outcome of those exams determining if the fighter will be cleared to compete or not. Of utmost concern is the fighter’s physical well-being. It was determined by independent physicians conducting the exams for FFC as well as the Nevada State Athletic Commission that several fighters scheduled to compete on the November 9th fight card would not be able to compete due to abnormal MRA findings which identified small aneurysms in the brain. For obvious reasons, these fighters could not be cleared to compete without proper medical workup. This includes consulting with a Neurosurgeon and an Interventional Radiologist. Some fighters may be cleared after this, but some may need a surgical procedure to correct the aneurysm before he or she can continue to fight in the future.

 

 

 

FFC CEO/President, Orsat Zovko, issued his own statement regarding the unfortunate cancelation.

 

 

 

We are disappointed to make this announcement, but on such short notice it was impossible to move forward because four of our six fights were stopped by the commission and medical personnel, including our Main Event and Co-Event,” said Zovko.

 

 

 

We must follow the strict rules and guidelines of the Nevada Athletic Commission, and we respect the decisions made by the medical community, because it is in the best interest of the fighters, and to protect their health is the ultimate goal.

The resumes of Liddell and Ortiz speak for themselves as both fought the most important fighters of their era. The two first fought in the UFC cage in 2004 after months of trash talk in which Liddell said he always dominated Ortiz in sparring during their past training sessions together. Liddell won the fight in spectacular fashion via KO, but the grudge was far from over. V 2006 the two faced off again with Ortiz vowing he would even the score. Ortiz fared much better in the second encounter but again succumbed to Liddell via referee stoppage TKO.

 

 

Tito Ortiz returns to the cage after a submission win over Chael Sonnen back in January 2017 to fight for redemption against his longtime rival Chuck Liddell. Liddell, coming out of retirement, is fighting to make it a perfect 3-0 over the “The Huntington Beach Bad Boyand to close the door on a feud that has spanned more than a decade. With a rivalry this intense and emotions still running high, this trilogy fight has fighters and fans from multiple generations excited to see the final chapter of one of the biggest rivalries of all time!
