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!
