Kassius “Killa Kayne” Holdorf earned sweet revenge in emphatic style with a second-round knockout to claim the Victory Fighting Championship welterweight title at VFC 54: Pitolo vs Kayne 2 on Friday night at the Baxter Arena in Omaha, Nebraska, and live on UFC FIGHT PASS.
After losing a unanimous decision to Maki “Coconut Bombz” Pitolo at VFC 52 in July, Holdorf, who took the original matchup on short notice, wasn’t about to let his second opportunity go to waste. After weathering his opponent’s early storm, Holdorf blitzed Pitolo with strikes over the final 90 seconds of the first round. He nearly ended the bout with a hard elbow that put Pitolo down but the Hawaiian was saved by the bell.
