Former UFC Fighter Loses By 12-Second KO On Bare Knuckle FC Debut<\/h2>\n

Although boxing and MMA are very much leading the way when it comes to combat sports, bare knuckle boxing<\/a> is also making waves. This is partly due to how regularly fans are seeing quick knockouts, which is what everyone seems to want when it comes to fighting sports.<\/p>\n

The fledging bare-knuckle boxing promotion Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) at the forefront of the sport, partly due to the fact UFC<\/a> superstar Conor McGregor<\/a> is one of the co-owners.<\/p>\n

That mixed with the quick knockouts and viral moments has made bare-knuckle boxing<\/a> increasingly popular in recent years, even months. This was epitomised last night at BKFC Fight Night in Los Angeles, where Anthony Garrett vs Lavar Johnson headlined the card in Long Beach, California.<\/p>\n

After a 16-second knockout victory on his Bare Knuckle FC debut back in August, Garrett went one better and finished his opponent four seconds faster in his second BKFC fight. His 12-second knockout set a new KO record, which was also his last fight against John Orr.<\/p>\n

Garrett broke his own record, meaning his total time in the ring equates to just 28 seconds in two fights. Both knockouts actually occurred earlier than stated, but the timer can’t officially stop until the referee waves the fight off. Hence why last night’s was 12 seconds rather than four or five.<\/p>\n
