Heavyweight Brett McDermott, Middleweight Yannick Bahati Crowned Champions at BAMMA 29

Brett McDermott’s mantle now has a little less available space.

McDermott got his hands on the vacant British Association of Mixed Martial Arts heavyweight championship, as he disposed of Ruben Wolf with second-round punches in the BAMMA 29 headliner on Friday at Genting Arena in Birmingham, England. Wolf (11-10) wilted 53 seconds into Round 2.

A Bellator MMA and Rizin Fighting Federation alum, the victory improved McDermott to 8-5.

In the co-main event, Yannick Bahati dispatched Matt Hallam with a second-round rear-naked choke to seize the vacant BAMMA middleweight title. Hallam (6-3) bowed out 2:19 into Round 2, his three-fight winning streak at an end.

Bahati, who upped his mark to 8-2, has recorded back-to-back finishes.

Meanwhile, Terry Brazier withstood a knockdown and submitted Walter Gahadza with a first-round bulldog choke to claim the vacant BAMMA Lonsdale welterweight championship. Brazier (8-1) completed his remarkable comeback 4:28 into Round 1. After starting his career with 16 straight wins, Gahadza (16-2) has suffered back-to-back defeats.

Elsewhere, British upstart Daniel Crawford raised his profile, as he wiped out Bellator MMA and Sengoku veteran Ronnie Mann with first-round punches in a featured featherweight battle. Mann (25-10-1) succumbed to blows 3:28 into Round 1. Crawford improved to 9-1 with his third consecutive victory.
