The first-round finishes kept rolling in earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 10, 2020) live on ESPN+ from inside Flash Forum on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., when middleweight veteran Tom Breese laid waste to Octagon newcomer KB Bhullar via first-round TKO (punches).
While Bhullar started out with some solid leg kicks it was Breese who landed the first big punch and stunned the newcomer with a left hook. Bhullar recovered only to have Breese launch a crisp right jab that planted the Canadian on the canvas. Some follow-up punches by Breese eventually forced the stoppage.

With this performance, Breese gets back into the win column after suffering a TKO loss to streaking youngster Brendan Allen back in February. If Breese can remain active he clearly has the striking, along with a slick ground game, to make a real push at the middleweight top 15.
