Video: UFC, Bellator veteran Sabah Homasi scores KO in BKFC debut

Sabah Homasi BKFC Bellator UFC

Sabah Homasi seemed like a strong fit for BKFC when he signed with the promotion this year, and he showed why that was an appropriate belief on Saturday in his promotional debut.

Homasi, a three-fight UFC and 12-fight Bellator veteran, returned to combat sports competition from a 13-month layoff over the weekend and made a solid impression in his first fight under the BKFC banner against Eduardo Peralta.

After landing some big shots on Peralta in the opening round of the 175-pound bout at BKFC on DAZN 3, which went down at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., Homasi sealed the deal early in the second when he connected with a hard right hand that sent his opponent to the mat. Peralta could not get up to beat the referee’s count, and Homasi was awarded the knockout win.

Check out the video below to see Homasi’s handiwork (via X):

Homasi, 36, came into his BKFC debut on the heels of consecutive brutal knockout losses against Levan Chokheli and Brennan Ward. It was his first combat sports win since June 2022.
