During a bantamweight title fight at a BKFC event held at the Hollywood Hard Rock Casino, Alberto Blas knocked down Keith Richardson. The referee allowed Richardson to continue fighting despite being wobbly. However, when the referee noticed that Richardson couldn't defend himself, he decided to end the fight. In a concussed state, Richardson attempted to fight the referee in the ring. Fortunately, the referee was able to defend himself and avoid taking any significant blows. After the fight, Richardson made light of the incident and joked about taking another shot at the referee.
On the other hand, Ferreira has rebounded from a three-fight losing streak in 2021 with two consecutive stoppage victories. [f6cdfac7] [def125e9]
