Kaik Brito Reclaims Oktagon Welterweight Title With Spinning Backfist KO at Oktagon 84
The Brazilian’s comeback from a failed UFC bid culminates in a title win that preserves his 100% finish rate.
Overview
- Brito defeated Ronald Paradeiser by KO at 1:18 of Round 3 in the Oktagon 84 main event at Ostravar Aréna in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
- The finish followed a spinning back elbow that rocked Paradeiser and a decisive spinning backfist that dropped him for the stoppage.
- The welterweight belt was vacant, and Brito regained the title he once held after previously vacating it to pursue Dana White’s Contender Series, where he lost to Oban Elliott.
- Paradeiser entered as a former Oktagon lightweight champion who recently moved up to 170 pounds and remains a leading contender in the division.
- Brito improved to 19-6 and maintained a 100% finish rate, reinforcing his reputation for highlight-reel stoppages in Europe’s Oktagon MMA.
