BKFC’s official results page confirmed Gaston “Tonga” Reyno stopped Josh “Jarhead” Krejci at 1:29 of Round 1 in the BKFC Fight Night Uruguay main event.
Reyno gave the sold-out Antel Arena crowd in Montevideo the ending it wanted. BKFC said the unbeaten Uruguayan dropped Krejci twice before the lightweight bout was stopped in the opening round, moving Reyno to 4-0 with four straight stoppage wins in the Squared Circle.
“I’m extremely happy,” Reyno said in his post-fight interview, according to BKFC. “I’m very proud and very happy to be here. This is a dream come true.”

Reyno Delivered At Home
The result was the headline moment of BKFC’s first event in Uruguay and its South American debut. Krejci, who came in from Omaha, Nebraska, fell to 2-3 in BKFC competition after the quick finish.
BKFC listed the official result as Gaston Reyno def. Josh Krejci via TKO in Round 1 at 1:29. The promotion also noted the show aired live worldwide on the BKFC App.
The co-main event had another familiar combat-sports name. Former UFC bantamweight Guido Cannetti won his BKFC debut by unanimous decision over Emiliano Nielli, with Cannetti recording the only knockdown of that bout.
Luis Jimenez also defeated Javier Torres by unanimous decision in the featured heavyweight fight. Marilyn Contin needed only 73 seconds to stop Gisela Luna in a women’s bantamweight matchup, while Harel Nicodella stopped Franco Perochena at 0:48 of Round 3.
MiddleEasy has followed BKFC’s busy summer, including Lorenzo Hunt’s BKFC 91 title win, Joe Lauzon’s BKFC 92 booking, and Conor McGregor’s BKFC television project.
Reyno now has a clean local-star storyline for BKFC after giving the promotion a first-round finish in its Uruguay debut. The next test is whether BKFC can turn that homecoming into a bigger bare-knuckle assignment for him later this year.
