WSOF 35 results: Blagoy Ivanov stops Shawn Jordan, defends his WSOF heavyweight title
It took less than two minutes for Ivanov to put away former UFC heavyweight Shawn Jordan in the main event of Saturday’s WSOF 35, which took place in Verona, N.Y. The technical knockout victory over Jordan marked Ivanov’s third title defense in the promotion, and improved his record to 14-1.
About a minute into the fight, the 30-year-old Bulgarian caught Jordan with a short right hand that rocked the American, sending him wobbling back across the cage. Ivanov would follow up with a quick combination that sent his opponent to the canvas and then forced the referee Dan Miragliotta to stop the bout by landing heavy ground-and-pound. The official stoppage came at the 1:43 mark of round one.
