The Stoppage Opened BKFC 93’s Main Card
Strode and Perez opened the main card before Esteban Rodriguez stopped Steve Townsel in Round 1. Matt Russo then beat Rivera in Round 4, and James Rodriguez followed with the night’s next finish.
The result followed two preliminary-card decisions, including Chino Blume’s unanimous win over Caleb Joseph Avila. Strode supplied the first stoppage after the event moved from the preliminaries to the main card.
