Travis "Bloody Fist" Hollis, easily the baddest cat in Dawg Nation, raised his MMA record to 4-0 Saturday night with an electrifying knockout over Adam Limon. The fight ended suddenly at just 36 seconds of the first round.
Hollis now has earned a title fight, which will come at the fittingly named December 5th "King of Champions" event at the Crown Plaza Hotel.
Hollis' fight Saturday was much different than his previous two matches, which were spent mainly grappling on the mat. Limon is a former Golden Gloves boxer, and obviously wanted to stay upright in order to make the best use of his more comfortable skills.
The two fighters spent the first 15 seconds feeling each other out, with Hollis throwing a few kicks to the outside of Limon's knees. Limon dropped his gloves several times, attempting to block the kicks.
That move would cost him dearly just 20 seconds later.
After they went down together for just a few seconds, the fighters popped right back up and resumed a classic boxing stance. Limon once again dropped his left glove down, anticipating another low kick to his knee.
Bad idea.
In the blink of an eye, Hollis unleashed a thunderous right foot that hit Limon squarely on the left jaw. The cracking sound of the impact would have been sickening if it hadn't been so perfect. It immediately turned out Limon's lights, and he went crashing face first to the canvas.
Nighty night, Adam. Pleasant dreams...
It was obvious that no count was necessary, as the referee quickly stopped the contest. Hollis thrust his right hand in the air, as the raucous crowd at the Red and Jerry's Arena went absolutely insane. He landed his shot- the one a fighter dreams about through all the hours of training.
To his credit, Hollis didn't continue to throw punches as often happens when an opponent is down and vulnerable.
He knew his work was done. Next case.
