Leonardo Perdomo and Steve Herelius squared off in a heavyweight showdown, serving as the co-main event at BKFC 70 Hollywood. The highly anticipated bout took place Thursday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Perdomo entered the fight on the back of a stunning first-round knockout victory over Levi da Costa in December. In contrast, Herelius was returning after a lengthy break, having last competed in September 2023, where he was stopped in the third round by Josh Copeland at BKFC 50.

'El Zambo' required only 13 seconds to send his opponent crashing to the canvas, setting a new record for the second-fastest finish in BKFC heavyweight division history.

The day before fight night, tensions erupted at the BKFC 70 Hollywood ceremonial weigh-ins when the two fighters exchanged heated words. The situation escalated when 'Centurion' attempted to slap Perdomo, only for BKFC president Dave Feldman to step in.
