OC Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts fighter, Darren “Hollywood” Smith, beat Brandon Shorter via referee stoppage at Fight Night 4 “Independence Day” in Bellingham Washington.

Smith of Santa Ana, CA, knew his opponent had seen tape of him and was planning to take him down to avoid Darren’s devastating strikes and clinch. The two traded shots then clinched. Smith eventually broke free from the clinch and landed some devastating punches knocking Shorter down and then threw the ropes forcing the referee to stop the fight in less than a minute into the first round.

OC Kickboxing & MMA fighter Darren Smith defeated his opponent Frank Pefferman in the second round at “Round 2 the Explosion” put on by Fight Night Entertainment at the Bellingham Sportsplex in Bellingham, WA.

Smith landed several barrages of devastating punches and knees in Round 1 before being taken down by Pefferman. Smith got back up to his feet quickly and landed a lot more powerful knees and punches. Pefferman shot in for a tackle but got caught by a knee buckling Pefferman all the way to the canvas.

In Round 2 the two exchanged punches and knees with Smith getting the better of Pefferman. Pefferman clinched with Smith trying to take him down several times while Smith landed body punches and knees. In an unfortunate accident, Smith threw a knee hitting Pefferman in the groin.

Pefferman couldn’t go on, so his corner threw in the towel. The bout was later ruled a no contest because Pefferman had given up some weight to fight the bigger and stronger Smith. It’s too bad the fight had to end in this way but congratulations to both fighters for putting on a great show!
