In the main event of Super Fight League 43 Jason Solomon was probably a little more confident than he should have been against Amitesh Chaubey. Solomon came into the bout with a perfect undefeated record of 4-0 and had finished all four of his opponents, so the confidence was necessarily unwarranted, but confidence should never become cockiness.
Amitesh Chaubey was 4-3 coming into the fight , having fought solely for the Super Fight League. This was his third win by TKO or KO:
Over the weekend, SFL held its aforementioned 43rd event, Collision Course, and in the evening’s headlining bout — a lightweight title fight between Jason Solomon and Amitesh Chaubey — the challenger needed just 9 seconds to dispatch the champion with a hellacious right hand.
While it’s a bit strange that Chaubey found himself in a title fight on the heels of a definitive loss to Mukesh Gora at SFL 33 (we only do that here in ‘Murica!), it’s hard to argue that he wasn’t ready for his shot when looking at the results. The lightning strike win improved Chaubey’s overall record to 5-3 and marked the first loss in Solomon’s young career.
