Kaine Tomlinson Jr. stole the show at BKFC's KnuckleMania 5 with a brutal 37-second knockout of Patrick Sullivan.
The Philadelphia crowd was stunned when Tomlinson landed a brutal right hand that put Sullivan to sleep and stiffened as he crashed to the canvas.
To start the fight, Tomlinson met Sullivan in the center of the ring. They stood face to face and began to feint.
After raising his left hand, Tomlinson followed it up with a quick, circling right hand over Sullivan's guard and landed squarely on his chin.
Terrifying scenes followed as the blow sent Sullivan stiffly to the ground. His head bounced off the bottom rope, breaking his fall before Tomlinson celebrated by getting on top of him.
Sullivan remained unconscious for an extended period, but eventually stood up and left the ring after the terrifying scenes.
Kaine Tomlinson Jr. Scored a Brutal 37 Knockout Against Patrick Sullivan at KnuckleMania 5
Bare Knuckle FC's fifth PPV featured eight knockouts, one disqualification and two decisions as the growing promotion arrived at the Wells Fargo Center.
The card was headlined by former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez taking on MMA veteran Jeremy Stephens.
After two rounds, Alvarez's corner stopped the fight, giving Lil Heathen the victory and moving him to 3-0 in the promotion.
Following his win, Stephens criticized MMA superstar and BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor, who torched him in 2016 with the response 'Who the hell is that guy?' at the UFC 205 press conference.
McGregor, who solidified his ownership in April 2024, went toe-to-toe with Stephens in the ring and told him, “Let's make a date, let's do it.”
The Irishman was recently linked to a boxing match with Logan Paul in India despite still being under contract with the UFC. McGregor last fought in July 2021 when he broke his tibia in a loss to Dustin Poirier.
