Abdoul Sy (Senegal) was punished by karma in the face of Nikola Filipovic (Serbia) at SENSHI 13.
He dropped his guard with a “come hit me if you can” challenge and got a knee to the liver before collapsing to the floor unable to continue. The pari faced each other under KWU Full Contact rules in the heavyweight division over 95 kilograms.
The professional fight night was held on the beach in front of the restaurant “More” in the resort of St. St. Konstantin and Elena, Varna, Bulgaria.
Filipovic started with an inside low kick. The Serbian seemed determined to seek a quick finish. His opponent stumbled slightly, but countered with a left-right combination. Nikola alternated attacks to the body with those to the head. In the middle of the opening round, he managed to smash his opponent with a knee kick to the liver, and the huge Senegalese remained on the floor.
After the fight, both men received their rewards from combat sports legend and four-time K-1 champion, Ernesto Hoost.
