Colosseum Tournament held one of its biggest cards ever this past Thursday in Brasov, Romania. The event featured two four-man tournaments and a Welterweight Championship fight. In the main event, up-and-comer Alexandru Amaritei defeated Eduard Gafencu to capture the welterweight title. After the fight, Amaritei came face to face with the winner of the -77 kg tournament, Stefan Orza, who he is now expected to fight at a later date.
It is also worth noting that in a surprise turn of events, just before the show went off the air, an emotional Eduard Gafencu rushed through the ring and pushed Colosseum Tournament promoter Gabriel Georgescu, evidently unhappy with the decision of the main event. Gafencu’s team is expected to contest the decision. The full results for the evening can be found below.
