AKA: Rite of Passage 3 brought some of the wildest finishes in FloCombat history. Here's what went down.
In the main event of the evening, former Legacy FC and LFA champion Derrick Krantz returned from a nasty eye injury to face Artenas Young.
While Young showed remarkable composure and resiliency—particularly since he came into the fight on six days' notice—it was Krantz's fight everywhere it went, and the former king rode off with a dominant unanimous decision victory.
Before they took the stage, Quentin Henry and Marcus Andrusia threw down, with Henry securing the early finish via power guillotine before jumping into the crowd to hug his longtime supporter and role model: his grandma.
Also on the card, Lucas Clay—teammate to The Ultimate Fighter 27 competitor and FloCombat vet Luis Pena—pulled off the near-impossible. In the second round of his scrap vs. highly touted prospect Brant Moore, Clay secured a buggy choke, shocking the crowd in attendance and watching online.
The night also saw wicked knockouts, a near post-fight brawl, and plenty more ruckus, making for a perfect Friday in the world of MMA.
