UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Kai Kamaka’s MMA career had been more down than up the past couple years, but is hoping his Friday win will jumpstart something.
Kamaka (9-5-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) was favored in his featherweight fight against Kevin Boehm (9-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) at Bellator 289 in Uncasville, Conn. The Hawaiian put Boehm away with a third-round TKO. Not only was it the first knockout finish of his career, it was his first stoppage win of any kind in more than eight years.
“It’s a nice way to bounce back from a lot of (losses),” Kamaka told MMA Junkie after the fight. “Every win is a big one. I don’t think I’m fighting the guy in there. I’m just fighting myself. It was good to get that finish. … I’m glad to get that finish.”
