Former UFC heavyweight Alexei Oreinik fell on his face (literally) on BKFC 71 from Dubai Tennis Stadium in the UAE at BKFC 71 today (4 April 2025) at BKFC 71 at BKFC 71.
Oleinik made headlines after experience earlier this year A messy divorceIt was the last competition inside the MMA Cage submitted to Fernando Rodrigues Jr. in December 2023. Before that, the former UFC competitor successfully made his boxing debut in August 2023, knocking out Takhir Dzablaev for the first time.
On Friday, Oleinik changed gloves and took a shot in Bareknuckle boxing. The 47-year-old combat veteran (known for reasons as “Boa Constrictor”) has world-class submission skills. Heavyweight veterans rarely shine in the stand-up division, so fight fans really didn’t know what to expect when he made his BKFC debut. Let me just say that things didn’t go that well for Oleinik.
His opponent, Dos Santos If you pinned it to join the UFC list. The 44-year-old veteran was in a tough time losing his final three professional fights, but “Mondragon” wanted to return to his victory column with a friendly matchup with Oleinik.
Dos Santos may have taken longer than expected to land a powerful knockout punch, but it ultimately happened with about 20 seconds remaining in the first round. Dos Santos removed his ridiculous right hand, washed away Oleinik’s chin, and quickly put him to sleep. It was pretty devastating.
Check out the last moments of the video player above and the incredible interview from Oleinik a few days ago.
“I have a 2-3 fight left,” he said (via) x). “I can’t do it physically anymore. I don’t want to. I can’t. My psychological resources are also exhausted.
“I don’t want to fight.”
“If I’m going on now…selling my health for money, I’ll make 200,000, 180, 90, 70…and then I’ll go raw in the ring for 30,000 people.
