Ex-WWE Champion Gzim Selmani Rallies for Four-Knockdown, Second-Round KO in BKFC Debut

Conor McGregor amplified the finish on social media, elevating the former Authors of Pain member’s return to combat sports.

Overview

  • Selmani recovered from an early knockdown to floor Daniel Curtin three times before the first-round bell at BKFC Newcastle.
  • He ended the bout 22 seconds into round two with a fourth knockdown, prompting the referee to stop the fight.
  • Curtin was left bloodied and bruised while Selmani showed minimal damage, underscoring a lopsided finish after the early scare.
  • McGregor, a BKFC part-owner, shared highlights of the knockout on Instagram and tagged Selmani’s ‘Albanian Psycho’ moniker.
  • The former WWE and NXT tag titleholder delivered a profanity-laced post-fight promo and has no next opponent announced, marking his first pro fight since a 2014 Bellator bout.
