BKFC 80 Results: Perdomo, Romero, and Plazaola Deliver
Hollywood, FL — September 13, 2025
BKFC 80 lit up the Hard Rock Live with a night of brutal finishes, breakout performances, and a heavyweight rematch that ended in even more decisive fashion than the first. Headlined by Leonardo “El Zambo” Perdomo’s demolition of Arnold Adams, the card featured 10 fights and a staggering number of first-round stoppages, proving once again why bare-knuckle fighting is the most unforgiving combat sport on the planet.
Main Event: Perdomo Obliterates Adams in 69 Seconds
Leonardo Perdomo (9-0) made history by becoming the first fighter in BKFC history to record nine consecutive first-round finishes. The Cuban-born heavyweight dropped former two-time champion Arnold Adams (7-5) twice in just over a minute, forcing a TKO stoppage at 1:09 of Round 1. Perdomo’s power and precision were on full display as he closed the chapter on their rivalry, having also stopped Adams in their BKFC 78 clash.
Co-Main Event: Plazaola Dominates Fox, Eyes Gold
Featherweight contender Edgard “The Dream Killer” Plazaola (6-0) delivered a lopsided unanimous decision win over UK champion Gary Fox (4-3), scoring a knockdown in Round 3 and sweeping the scorecards (50-44, 50-44, 50-43). Plazaola outlanded Fox 102 to 32 and immediately called out reigning champion Kai Stewart for a title shot.
Feature Fight: Yoel Romero Debuts with Destruction
Former UFC title challenger Yoel “Soldier of God” Romero made his BKFC debut in devastating fashion, stopping Theo Doukas in Round 2 after three knockdowns. Romero’s power translated seamlessly to the bare-knuckle format, and his post-fight presence electrified the Florida crowd.
