Hecher Sosa was consecrated this Saturday at the Madrid Arena after knocking out Yaman “El Diamante” in the first round, at the WOW 20 event. The Canary Islands fighter imposed his experience with a devastating elbow that left his rival out of combat in less than a minute, also taking home the bantamweight champion belt and the bonus of the night
The triumph had a strong emotional component: Sosa dedicated it to his father, seriously ill with cancer, to whom he promised that, if this was the last fight he would see, he would see him win. The delivery of the belt became an emotional scene when Sosa, accompanied by his family, showed his pride and determination
This success represents a qualitative leap in his career: with a professional record now of 13‑1 and a streak of nine consecutive victories by finishing, Sosa is positioned as one of the great Spanish aspirants to sign with the UFC. With this victory in an event that brought together more than 8,000 attendees and presented the first four WOW belts, the “Guanche Warrior” is getting closer and closer to the dream of entering the most prestigious octagon in the world
