Alfred Khashakyan continued his mixed-martial-arts path of destruction
Friday night in Studio City.
The potent striker won his fourth straight bout, all via knockout,
with a first-round stoppage of Vitor Oristanio in the co-main event of
Lights Out Promotions/Bash Boxing's Fight Night 2 at the Sportsmen's
Lodge Event Center.
Khashakyan improved to 4-1 and is 4-0 since training at the Glendale
Fighting Club. Oristanio dropped to 1-3.
It was Khashakyan's second win this year following a victory Feb. 20
at the first Fight Night event.
Glendale Fighting Club's Levon Sargsyan also collected his first
career win as he earned a majority decision over James Acosta.
Sargsyan improved to 1-2, while Acosta dropped to 0-4.
Main Event Gym's Armen Bakanyan (1-3-1) fought to a three-round draw
with Derion Chapman (0-2-1).
In amateur action, Main Event's Tigran Grigoryan and David Yegiazaryan
each earned unanimous decision wins, while GFC's Leon Shahbazyan won
via rear-naked choke submission.
The local fighters - all Armenian - went 5-0-1 on the night, which is
of further significance as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is April
24. This coming Friday will mark the 100th anniversary.
