Julian Lane has come a long way from his “Let me bang, bro” days on The Ultimate Fighter.
On Saturday night, Lane captured his first world title, defeating Gorjan Slaveski via unanimous decision at BKFC 79 to become the promotion’s new welterweight champion.
While Slaveski found some success during the five-round affair, it was Lane who landed the more significant blows. With little more than a minute to go in the third round, Lane knocked down Slaveski with a perfectly timed counter right hand.
Slaveski answered the count, but ended up eating mat once again mere seconds in the fifth.
