26. A grudge match ends with belt

I’m bringing you a special Saturday moment. For all you Saturday morning cartoon watchers, this one is for you.

After going 2-0, Jamie Siraj made his first appearance in the Battlefield Fight League cage against Nick Ghaeni who was making his pro debut. BFL 35 featured a battle for the ages, as Siraj and Ghaeni battled for a full 15-minutes and the debutant earned his first pro victory, while handing Siraj his first pro loss.

It took one year, and nine events to pass by for Siraj to get redemption.

This time, at BFL 44, the two fought for the vacant BFL bantamweight championship. This was probably the best performance of Siraj’s five year amateur and pro career. He had a masterful game plan and locked up choke in the third round to be crowned the BFL 135-pound king pin.
