Lorenzo Hunt proved that no matter how bad things get, he just needs one punch to land, and did it ever in the main event of BKFC’s Knucklemania 3.
Hunt defended his light heavyweight title against interim champ Mike Richman in a heated headliner at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, N.M.
Richman had a fantastic start, stinging Hunt with a barrage of punches and combinations. Hunt was on the ropes in defensive mode before getting dropped.
Hunt returned to his feet and on the next punch he threw, he put Richman to sleep with an absolutely stunning knockout. The 40-year-old picked up his eighth straight victory.
Austin Trout batters gritty Diego Sanchez for doctor’s stoppage win
Sanchez found success in the opening seconds making things gritty, but Trout used his superior boxing skills to pick Sanchez apart for most of the opening round, busting open the one-time UFC title challenger. More of the same took place in the second as Trout continued to simply outbox Sanchez, and used sound defense to avoid any real damage — even showboating at times.
After a good third round from Trout, he did more damage in the fourth, knocking a battered Sanchez down, but the always-durable Sanchez was able to get back to his feet. With 14 seconds left in the round, the doctors looked at the bloody face of Sanchez before stopping the fight.
John Dodson obliterates Jarod Grant for another first-round finish
John Dodson’s post-UFC career continues to flourish as he made quick work of Jarod Grant in front of his home crowd in Albuquerque.
Dodson picked up his second straight first-round finish inside the BKFC ring with a brutal knockout of Grant at 1:41 of the opening frame. “The Magician” used his hand speed early and often, and eventually dropped Grant with a combination. Grant was able to get back to his feet, but as the action was about to resume, Grant slowly began to collapse to the mat and the fight was stopped.
As the second round was set to begin, Watson had a massive cut above his left eye, but was able to continue. And it was a good thing he did, because seconds later, Watson landed a thunderous combination that floored Hardy that stopped the fight.
Jayme Henshaw gets quick finish of Charisa Sigala — who appears to suffer nasty injury

As Sigala went down, she looked to snap her leg back into place and was unable to continue, forcing the stop to the contest.
