The 28-year-old Knight (21-6-0), fighting out of D’Iberville (MS), was coming off a major bare knuckle fighting win last November, stopping former UFC fighter Artem Lebov in the fifth round. Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai specialist Knight, who fought in the UFC between 2015 and 2018, defeated late replacement, Iowa featherweight Cliff “The Goblin” Wright (13-14-0), last Friday evening in the second round of the main event via a rear-naked choke. In the co-featured event, contested at a 175-pound catchweight, Socrates “The Sounds of Kaos” Pierre (12-6-0), of Tallahassee (FL), locked in a DArce’ choke to submit local favorite Harris “Sandman” Stephenson (6-3-0) midway through the third and final round. Tennessee strawweight Emilee King improved her pro record to 5-4-0 with a 3-round unanimous decision over West Palm Beach’s (FL) Kayla “K’Rock” Hracho (3-3-0), who had been undefeated in a pair of iKON fights. “Fight Queen” Isis Verbeek (1-1-0), fighting out of Amsterdam, Netherlands, turned in a solid iKON debut, taking a 3-round unanimous decision from California strawweight Valerie “The Violator” Wong (0-2-0). Louisiana welterweight prospect “The Ghost” AJ Fletcher kept his undefeated record intact (7-0-0) with a submission of Florida’s Wesley Golden (9-18-0) by way of a head-and-arm choke, while Louisiana strawweight Macy Breaux enjoyed an auspices pro debut, taking the top position and pounding Floridian Shawna “Bam Bam” Ormsby (2-3-0) for an opening round knockout. Miami’s Charlie Decca (3-0-0) pummeled Kyle McGough (0-2-0) from the top position with an avalanche of punches to earn a first-round knockout of a fight contested at a 165-pound catchweight.
