Video: Former UFC contender Aleksei Oleinik brutally knocked out in BKFC debut vs. Geronimo Dos Santos

Aleksei Oleinik, 47, was brutally knocked out in his BKFC debut Friday in Dubai.

At BKFC 71, a brutal Geronimo Dos Santos (1-1) right hand snatched the consciousness from Oleinik (0-1) and ended the fight at the 1:49 mark of Round 1. The event took place at Dubai Tennis Stadium.

Oleinik has competed three other times in combat sports since his UFC departure, according to Tapology. He had gone 1-1 in MMA and 1-0 in boxing. He is currently a member of the GFL roster, according to the promotion’s website.

Dos Santos has 71 pro bouts in MMA. He’s competed around the globe since his pro debut in 2006, taking on the likes of Sergei Kharitonov, Aleksander Emelianenko, Josh Barnett, and Junior Dos Santos among others.

BKFC 71 is part of a two-day doubleheader with BKFC 72 scheduled for Saturday in Dubai.
