In the second round of their 175-pound fight, Homasi delivered a crushing right hand to Peralta. The punch was so strong that Peralta fell to the ground. The referee counted, but Peralta could not get up in time, and the fight was stopped. Homasi had won by knockout. It was his first victory since June 2022, and it marked a strong return to the sport.

Homasi’s move to BKFC comes after a challenging period in his career. Earlier this year, he spoke about not being paid for medical expenses following his last fight with Bellator. Despite these troubles, Homasi entered the BKFC ring focused on his future and determined to show what he can do.
Known for his aggressive fighting style, Homasi has earned 11 wins by knockout in his career. His power in the ring is well-known, and he quickly showed it in this debut. The fight against Peralta was a clear statement that Homasi is ready to compete at a high level in bare-knuckle boxing.
Looking ahead, 2025 could be a big year for Homasi in BKFC. There are many exciting matchups waiting for him, and if his first performance is any indication, more powerful fights are on the horizon. Homasi has a lot of experience and skills, and this victory is just the beginning of his BKFC journey.
