BFL working on Kirk Tse vs. Oliver Vajda for first ever amateur bantamweight title

At Battlefield Fight League 18, both Kirk Tse and Oliver Vajda prevailed in their respective bouts. It now sounds like the men behind the scenes at BFL are working on putting a fight between the two together.

Kirk Tse (5-0) kicked off the main card against Riley Shanon. It didn’t take the Universal MMA prospect long to take out Shanon. Tse ended up finishing the fight with some devastating ground and pound at 2:56 of the very first round.

MMASucka.com caught up with Tse to hear his thoughts on taking on Vajda.

“I actually thought he would be a good match up for me in that division (135lbs). He looked like he out classed Pirotta (at BFL 18). He was very technical with his stand up. If I was going to fight for the belt, that would be the guy I wanted to fight. I know he holds belts in other organizations and he would be a good challenge for me.”

Kirk also spoke about his performance last night against Shanon.

“I was happy that i had my first TKO win. Thought I would showcase some stand up but he came at me very aggressively.”

Oliver Vajda (8-0) is perfect in his amateur MMA career, which includes capturing the West Coast Promotions championship, as well as the Quest for Glory championship. At BFL 18, Vajda took on a very game Joe Pirotta. Many fans in the crowd expected the undefeated fighter to make quick work of Pirotta, however he didn’t. The fight went to the judges scorecards and  Vajda took it unanimously.

Vajda spoke with MMASucka.com about what fighting Tse would be like.

“He’s a tough opponent. It would definitely be a fight you wouldn’t want to miss. Kirk is a well rounded figher, but i feel like there are holes in his Jiu-Jitsu game that I can definitely exploit.”

Battlefield Fight League made mention that the fight is not guaranteed yet, but they said, “gotta see if we can make it happen.” Keep it locked to MMASucka.com to see if this fight actually gets booked.

BFL 20 is expected to take place on November 24th in Vancouver, Canada at an un-named location.
