Phil De Fries successfully defended his heavyweight title for the time with a second-round submission in the main event of KSW 45 in London, England on Saturday.
The towering Brit completely drained Karol Bedorf’s tank with a solid grounded onslaught up until the finish. After consistent ground and pound, De Fries passed Bedorf’s guard and and isolated his arm before forcing the tap from the juggernaut with an americana.
Ahead of the fight, former UFC fighter De Fries explained to MMA Fighting how the resurgence in his career was down to him overcoming anxiety.
