Runners Up

First Runner-Up

Both of our Runners-Up earned stoppage victories in Event 8 of our third season. One went to the body, and the other - Fabiola Esquivel's finishing strike to Ana Villanueva, went to the head.

Shin to the chin!

Second Runner-Up

The one that went to the body came from Luiz Rocha and slammed into the liver of Nikita Yanchuk.

"The Pitbull" delivered a liver-smashing power-left-kick to the body, in full view of the supreme master of the liver-kick, Pit-side commentator Bas Rutten.

It was as instant as a body-kick KO could be.

Yanchuk went down immediately with a grimace that remained long after the fight was stopped.

Whereas our Female Fighter of the Season won the Punch of the Season award, our Male Fighter of the Season is taking home the Kick of the Season award.

It took place during our epic Season 3 Finale.

The award-winning kick comes in the Sudden Victory round of our Fight of the Season.
