    Salt Papi vs Amadeusz Ferrari

    He didn’t need to get DQ’d, he quit himself!
    That wraps up an entertaining night of Misfits-fuelled action with Salt Papi getting the TKO win to top the night off.
    Copy linkCopiedSalt Papi vs Amadeusz Ferrari
    Ferrari is coming with the most outrageous attacks, swinging from the hip.
    He’s running out of ideas and again tries to use his MMA skills to take Salt Papi down and gets another point off.
    DQ could be incoming as we head into round four.

    Late rally from 6ar6ie6 in the final two rounds as she uses her size to get to Poca.
    But the champ does come back with some nice combinations and both swing for the fences to close the fight out.
    Decent action over five rounds as it goes to the scorecards.
    Copy linkCopiedJully Poca vs 6ar6ie6 
    Poca’s moutguard is punched out but she’s been the cleaner boxer of the two through three rounds.
    The counter left hand is on the money for the Brazilian to head and body.
    Copy linkCopiedJully Poca vs 6ar6ie6 
    6ar6ie6 comes forward in the opening round but Poca is looking to sit back and counter.
    She lands a good few counter lead right hooks and looks to go to the body too.
    Poca, the Brazilian champ, is the quicker of the two but 6ar6ie6 has the size and power.
    Copy linkCopiedUp next
    We have some women’s title action with 6ar6ie6 against Jully Poca.

    The fight goes the distance and Argentinian King should walk away with a fairly landslide victory.
    But Arif deserves credit for getting in there so late and making it the full five rounds.
    He just about got there after a shaky and knackering final round but can leave with his head held high.
    Copy linkCopiedArgentinian King vs Pully Arif
    Argentinian King landed a good succession of shorts there.
    Lovely left hook and counter right uppercut lands but Arif takes it well and stays in there.

    Arif is on his bike and avoiding what’s coming his way fairly well.
    Argentinian King is the aggressor and doing the damage but he’s following Arif around and falling short.
    He might just start to get frustrated with this.
    Copy linkCopiedArgentinian King vs Pully Arif
    Arif is the aggressor in the opening round but he’s leaving himself open when leading with the jab.
    Argentinian King is a lot more composed behind his jab and looking to counter over the top but is biding his time.
    Be interesting to see how much Arif has in the tank having taken the fight with such short notice.
