Shaved Bears MMA delivered a flawless performance across every title bout at Unified MMA 38, sweeping the championship cards.
The main event featured undefeated KB Bhullar (now 8-0) facing the most difficult challenge of his career against Matt Dwyer (now 11-6), ultimately prevailing via unanimous decision in a five-round battle for the Unified MMA middleweight title.
After securing six victories in his first round during seven total fights, Bhullar expressed satisfaction at experiencing what a demanding five-round matchup feels like against a talented competitor such as Dwyer.
"It was an incredible experience," Bhullar shared during an interview. "I'm already thinking about how much I've developed from it, being given the chance to go five rounds with someone like Matt Dwyer."
"I threw everything I had at him and he refused to drop, and that really shows the kind of heart and toughness this fighter possesses."
At just 27 years old, still unbeaten, and riding momentum from a victory over a UFC veteran in Dwyer, Bhullar has almost certainly caught the attention of major organizations.
Though he could be considered for a potential UFC contract, Bhullar indicated his preference to defend his belt several times before moving on.
"I want more action and I want to keep developing," Bhullar stated.
"I want more chances to have fights like this, but ones where I don't have to make it a war."
Park Extends His Finish Streak
Graham Park (now 7-2) continued his run of first-round finishes, halting Sheldon Doll (now 7-4) via TKO late in the opening round to capture the Unified MMA light heavyweight title.
Before Park's finishing sequence, the bout went back and forth, with both fighters coming within striking distance of ending the contest at different points.
Park noted that Doll opened similarly to how he anticipated, though it took longer than he would've preferred to adjust his strategy.
"I was anticipating that, but I didn't respond as effectively as I needed to," Park explained in an interview. "I expected him to come forward aggressively, be a power puncher, and put the heat on me."
"I wasn't rattled by the fact that he defended some takedown attempts. My plan was to be relentless and keep pushing forward. It wasn't as clean as I'd hoped, but I accomplished what I set out to do."
This marked Park's first championship of his career, and he achieved it on the very same evening that two of his cornermen also claimed their first titles.
Park expressed his pride at becoming the Unified MMA light heavyweight champion and said he hopes he made his team proud.
