Background
Platon (2-0) has been known as one of the most explosive knockout artists on the Battlefield Fight League roster. He has one-punch knockout power and proved that in his professional debut, as he stopped Tylor Nicholson just 27-seconds into their BFL 66 bout. Just as opponents prepared for Platon’s standup game, he threw a wrench in their plans. In his sophomore outing, Gio Platon stopped Matty Hovorka with a first-round rear-naked choke.
Sidey (4-1) started off his professional career on a four-fight winning streak. Three of those four fights came via TKO stoppage. In his most recent outing, Sidey lost a decision to Mateo Vogel at BTC 9. The Ontario native was expected to fight for the BFL 135-pound title against Ali Wasuk at BFL 67, however, his opponent was forced to withdraw from the contest.
