Bare-knuckle fighter Joey Beltran almost choked to death while eating breakfast, hours before facing Frank Tate in their main-event clash.
Beltran was preparing to take to the ring against Tate at a BKFC Fight Night in Fort Lauderdale when the incident happened. He was later brutally knocked out by his rival who pounced on his opportunity to seize a second consecutive victory.
Beltran revealed his coach was showing him a funny video which prompted him to start choking. “Basically I was at breakfast today, chilling all normal and then my coach showed me this ridiculously funny video,” Beltran told TMZ. “An old school Fear Factor video or something and I started laughing. Next thing I know, I started choking. I couldn’t cough up the food and I stood up and started panicking.”
