Igor Svirid (ONE Championship)

Battlefield FC 1 Results: Svirid Chokes Ray, Kaufman Bests Clark

On Saturday, March 18, Battlefield Fighting Championships held its inaugural event from the Seoul Olympic Hall in Seoul, South Korea.

In the night’s main event, American Joe Ray clashed with Igor Svirid of Kazakhstan. Ray entered the match-up having won seven of his last 10 fights, but the Strikeforce veteran had won just once in his last three outings. Svirid similarly found a run of success under the Absolute Championship Berkut banner, but hit a wall competing for ONE Championship. He aimed to snap a three-fight skid.

Also on the card, former Strikeforce champion and UFC veteran Sarah Kaufman took on Invicta FC alum Jessica-Rose Clark in a bantamweight contest.
