SALT LAKE CITY — Christine Ferea won a split decision over Canadian challenger Jade Masson-Wong to defend her Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship flyweight title Friday.
Former UFC and PFL fighter veteran Jeremy Stephens improved to 2-0-0 in bare-knuckle action with a unanimous decision over fifth-ranked lightweight Bobby Taylor in the co-main event at the Maverik Center. The 38-year-old Stephens knocked the 46-year-old Taylor down in the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
Without the benefit of gloves, cuts are common. And they can lead to doctor-mandated stoppages, which prevent the losing fighter from taking more damage.The 31-year-old Masson-Wong, who came out to Slayer's"Raining Blood," looked to score with the jab in a cagey, close first round. The two got busier in the second round with Masson-Wong's face beginning to show damage around her left eye.
Both fighters weighed in at 124.6 pounds Thursday, just under the 125-pound limit. Masson-Wong took the weigh-in stage holding a giant pair of scissors, saying"I'm going to cut her head off."
