Kavi knocked out his opponent Rodthang in the second round of a full Thai rules fight at the Thaphae Stadium in Thailand. Kavi had been training in Thailand for this fight for almost a month. Congratulations Kavi on an excellent performance!

AMMA pro fighter and NZMMA sponsored fighter Ev Ting will be facing Will Cope (Phuket Top Team) at Hawkes Bay first ever cage fight at the Pettigrew Green Arena in Napier this Saturday 28th January.
