In the main event of the evening, with the Ring of Combat Middleweight Belt on the line, Paul Bradley showed just how dangerous his hands have become by finishing Dante Rivera in just 0:34 seconds of the 1st Round. In 13 fights, including TUF Season 7 Finale, Rivera had never been KO'd or TKO'd until Friday night against Paul Bradley.
Bradley caught Rivera in a vicious uppercut that sent Rivera to the canvas. As Bradley went in to finish the fight, referee Yves Lavigne stopped the bout after a few more strikes.
Promoter Lou Neglia said, "What I liked most about Paul is that in a Main Event Title Fight, a lot of fighters go out not to lose, but Paul went out to finish the fight and win, and that is great for the sport and great for our Show and our fans! We can't wait to get him back on the Ring of Combat."
The victory improves Bradley's professional record to 9-0. His next fight will be against Rafael Sapo on December 13th in Washington, DC at District Combat-Battle at the Nations Capital.
