Jason Knight lived up to his promise to reel back on brawling in his Bare Knuckle FC 9 rematch with Artem Lobov , and the result was positive.
With a mouse under his eye, he got cracked with a straight right hand from Knight that resulted in the first knockdown of the fight.
The third round got briefly delayed because there was no doctor ringside, but the action resumed and Knight settled in.
Lobov, who experienced multiple cuts to the face, suffered worse swelling around his eyes.
He mixed up his stance and range and landed some of his best punches of the fight, but the lack of impact made it difficult to get Knight’s respect.
He stood up before the count was finished, but Lobov’s corner had seen enough and told the referee to wave it off at the 0:29 mark of Round 5.
