HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Christine Ferea did it again.

The former MMA fighter turned BKFC flyweight defeated Britain Beltran once again at Saturday’s BKFC: KnuckleMania 2 event. Ferea outpointed Beltran 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 to win a unanimous decision. With the victory, Ferea is now the first-ever BKFC women’s flyweight champion.

It was a high-paced fight that showcased Ferea’s power and volume.

In the first round, Beltran effectively stayed on the outside and was able to pull off a stick-and-move strategy, often connecting on Ferea while avoiding her power.

The second round was similar in terms of strategy, but Ferea did more damage and busted open Beltran’s right eye cheek. Ferea was quick with her combinations and did plenty of damage.

From there, the momentum shifted vastly on Ferea’s favor. She managed to find her rage on Beltran and did visible damage to Beltran’s face while keeping her’s clean. The third, fourth and fifth round were strong rounds for Ferea. Her punches and combinations landed more ofter than Beltran’s and clearly did more damage.
