An MMA star celebrated in daring style by flashing her breasts following her debut win in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
Model and former American football star Tai Emery leant on her boxing foundation to defeat fellow debutant Rung-Aran Khunchai at BKFC Thailand 3 in Bangkok. Khunchai has far more professional fighting experience but the 60-fight Muay Boran veteran was stunned by the Australian.
Emery, who has 52,100 followers on Instagram, enjoyed a spell in both the Legends Football League and the Lingerie Fighting Channel playing American football. She appeared to settle into bare-knuckle fighting immediately, securing a win on her debut in the first round.
After clinching her victory, Emery jumped onto the ropes and lifted her top to a stunned crowd. The commentary team were equally as confused and it appeared they were unsure whether to mention it.
“Welcome to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Tai Emery!” One commentator exclaimed. “Interesting celebration right there by Tai Emery - we haven’t seen that one yet before.”
The BKFC Twitter account (@bareknucklefc) wrote: “Welp, that’s one way to celebrate a win. Welcome to BKFC!”
Many fans found the celebration rather amusing, and adult film star Kendra Lust took to social media to comment on the celebration. She wrote: “And this is why I sponsored her lol…lets go.
What is the craziest celebration you've seen in sport? Let us know in the comments section.
“Love it!!! So happy for her she put in a lot work & has been waiting a long time for this fight to happen.”
Elsewhere in the action on Friday night, Surasak Sukkhamcha defeated Pongpisan Chunyong via majority decision following the Overtime Round to win the inaugural BKFC Thailand Featherweight Championship. Phop Perfect also claimed a title as he defeated Maseng via round three knockout secured the King of the Streets Superfight Championship.
BKFC Thailand 3 will be headlined by Buakaw Banchamek’s clash with Turkish kickboxer Erkan Varol. Banchamek is considered one of Thailand’s greatest athletes in history with a 240-24-12 record in Muay Thai.
The 40-year-old made his highly-anticipated return to competition in July after nearly three years away. His opponent Varol holds an impressive 88-33 kickboxing record into his own bare-knuckle boxing debut.
