Video: Alan Belcher makes absurd amount of saliva spew from BKFC fighter’s mouth with one-punch KO
Former UFC fighter Alan Belcher continues to wreak havoc in bare-knuckle boxing.
Belcher won his first promotional headliner at BKFC Fight Night Jackson 2 when he one-punched fellow heavyweight standout Frank Tate for a knockout at 1:21 of Round 1. The event took place Saturday at Jackson Convention Center Complex in Mississippi.
The punch ejected a massive amount of saliva – or some type of liquid – out of Tate’s mouth, which was captured by a ringside videographer.
Check out the slow-motion rocket-launching of liquid in the video below.
With the win, Belcher earned himself a BKFC heavyweight title shot against current champion Arnold Adams at an event and date to-be-announced.
Belcher, 38, moves to 3-0 in professional bare-knuckle boxing. Since his retirement from the UFC and MMA competition as a whole in 2013, Belcher also has gone 2-0 in professional boxing. A former UFC middleweight contender, Belcher now competes as a hulking heavyweight.
“I changed things around,” Belcher recently told MMA Junkie. “I changed my ego. I wasn’t a fighter anymore, and I had to be something else. It gives you a different place to look at fighters and fighting, so you can enter back in on your own terms. I thought about it for years, and you’re always going to think about it and regret it, and you don’t want to live your life later with regret.”

Anthony Smith on Alex Pereira: ‘Given the opportunity, we both would jump on it’
