ARNOLD ADAMS, seorang petinju kelas berat MMA usia 32 tahun, memukul mantan petarung UFC D.J. Linderman hingga berlumur darah di depan 2.000 penggemar yang riuh di arena hoki yang biasanya menyelenggarakan pesta ulang tahun, dan tempat latihan skating di ibukota Wyoming, Cheyenne.
Puluhan ribu penonton lainnya menyaksikan dari tayangan online berbayar, yang menampilkan 10 pertarungan, termasuk empat pertandingan kelas berat dalam format turnamen.
Penggemar tarung bebas mengantri di luar Cheyenne Ice and Events Center lebih dari satu jam sebelum acara besar pertama di Amerika Serikat sejak 1889.
Bec Rawlings (kiri di foto kanan atas), berusia 29 tahun dari Brisbane, Australia, memenangkan satu-satunya pertarungan malam itu dengan menampilkan wanita, mengalahkan Alma Garcia dengan TKO di babak kedua seperti dilansir MailOnline.

ARNOLD ADAMS, a 32-year-old MMA heavyweight, pounded ex-UFC fighter D.J. Linderman's face into a bloody mess in front of 2,000 rowdy fans at a hockey rink that usually hosts birthday parties and skating lessons in Wyoming's capital, Cheyenne.
Tens of thousands more tuned in for the pay-per-view event, which featured 10 bouts, including four heavyweight fights in a tournament format.
Fans were lined up outside the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center more than an hour before the first major bare-knuckle event in the U.S. since 1889.
