Is there anyone who can halt Achilles Estremadura's momentum?
The rising Estremadura (now 4-0) retained his lightweight championship with a stunning knockout of Lee Gaudet (now 5-7) in signature Estremadura style Saturday evening at BFL 60 in Coquitlam B.C.
This represented Estremadura's third strike in his professional career across just four bouts, and he wasted no time stating where he hopes to go next.
"Hopefully we're looking at the next big thing, the UFC. Me and my boy Cole Smith, we're undefeated here and we're the next big thing," said Estremadura in his post-fight interview.
"UFC, give us a call. We're waiting."
Hall Ready For The Jump
Marlan Hall (now 10-3) successfully defended his amateur featherweight title with a quick submission victory over Casey O'Leary (now 4-4) in the first round.
It was a convincing victory for the 23-year-old and marked his fifth straight win inside the BFL cage.
The win, though, wasn't the sweetest moment of the evening for Machado. In the post-fight interview, he called his girlfriend out to the octagon and popped the question — and she happily accepted.
Machado admitted the proposal had him more anxious than the fight itself.
"I was going back and forth — should I do it? Should I hold off? Was the timing right?"
"I just went with the moment. I figured, I'm already here, so might as well make it happen."
