International Fight League champions Vladimir Matyushenko, Wagnney Fabiano, and Jay Hieron on Friday night all defended their respective titles at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J.
Light heavyweight champion Matyushenko retained his belt by stopping Jamal Patterson by TKO due to strikes with just 30 seconds left in the second round.
In an IFL record-setting performance, Fabiano knocked out challenger Shad Lierley in a mere 37 seconds. The win kept the featherweight title strapped securely around Fabiano’s waist.
He couldn’t top Fabiano’s quick knockout, but welterweight champion Jay Hieron didn’t waste much time in stopping Mark Miller by TKO little more than two minutes into the opening round.
A light heavyweight contest between Miletich Fighting Systems’ Mike Ciesnolevicz and Carmelo Marrero, representing American Top Team, was ruled a no contest when Marrero suffered a cut on his head due to an inadvertent head butt.
