Conor McGregor’s reaction to John Garbarino’s incredible performance at BKFC KnuckleMania 5 has been nothing short of glowing. Garbarino delivered a stunning first-round knockout victory against Apostle Spencer in Philadelphia that took the internet by storm.

From the start, Garbarino was in control, relentlessly pursuing the knockout. He found it with a massive punch that sent Spencer to the canvas. The referee counted him out with just one second left in the round.

While everyone thought that the KO win would be the highlight of the night, Garbarino had one more surprise up his sleeve.

After celebrating with the crowd, Garbarino invited his girlfriend into the ring. Having previously asked her mother for permission to marry her, the BKFC star dropped to one knee with a ring in hand, proposing to her in front of an ecstatic audience.

She accepted the proposal and the crowd erupted in cheers for the newly engaged couple.
