It was a knockout that no one saw coming. Two of BFL’s young stars going head to head in a shootout to crown the champion of the pro middleweight division. The result shocked everyone in attendance…





In one corner, a former middleweight champion in our amateur division in Micah Brakefield. Brakefield, a powerful and skilled grappler hailing from Burnaby, BC had an undefeated record as a middleweight going into this fight. In the other corner, a two time amateur Welterweight champion making both his pro and middleweight debut in Leo Xavier. Xavier, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt hailing from Vancouver, BC was coming off his 2nd title win in the Welterweight division, in a previous superfight with David Kennedy. This would mark his 2nd consecutive superfight and title fight in a row as he stepped inside the cage against Brakefield to crown the middleweight champion.

Leo Xavier went on to win the title with one of the most spectacular knockouts in BFL history, leaving his opponent unconscious for a number of moments.
