Former UFC Heavyweight Parker Porter made a splash in his bare knuckle FC debut with a knockout with one punch.
After a dismissal of almost two years, Parker Porter took a great risk in the transition from MMA to Kale Fighting. In his bare Knuckle FC debut on Saturday, Porter's first performance lasted in the Kale Ring under a minute and ended with a bad knockout.
Porter and Chase Gormley could be seen in a heavyweight fight on BKFC: Mohegan Sun on Saturday in Uncasville, CT. Just like Porter, Gormley switched from MMA to the BKFC ring in recent years once the Titan FC Heavyweight Championship calls.
After Parker had thrown a huge overhead right that the top of Gormley's head was missing seconds in the fight, Parker Gormley forced back and against the ropes. The result was a right -wing hook from Gormley's jaw that Flush landed, dropped Gormley and eventually won the fight by knockout after a short count.
