Left leg, 'cemetery'. The infamous phrase was attributed to the legend Mirko Cro Cop in his prime during the PRIDE and UFC days for his strong left kicks that brutally knocked out his opponents. However, in the North American event 'B2 Fighting Series' there is a fighter who also caught attention for the same reason.

Heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg.) Rakim Cleveland won the organization's vacant belt by defeating Kelvin Fitial in the first round with a brutal left kick, which recalled the Croatian's heyday. The athlete even realized that his rival had already been knocked out and, in celebration, he even did an unusual dance to celebrate the knockout.

Cleveland, by the way, is not a complete unknown. Professional in mixed martial arts since 2010, the North American has a record of 22 triumphs, 13 setbacks, one draw and one 'no result' fight in his career. 'Bicho Papão', as his nickname is, even competed in the Grand Prix of the PFL (2018 and 2019) in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2kg.), but ended up stopping in the first phase on both occasions.

In turn, Fitial feels the 'bitter taste' of his second defeat in a series in his MMA career. Furthermore, the athlete suffered the tenth negative result. In his career, he also has 15 wins, two draws and one unsuccessful fight.
