A Champion's Champion By Bobloblaw

Bardia has had a wild and eventful career despite having only 8 fights. Bardia fought his first three fights in Ace. He became the 145lb title there before moving to SAFO. He followed the man he beat for the title at Ace, Funky Lotus Style, to SAFO and immediately beat him for the 145 lb title at SAFO. Unfortunately, he was unable to defend the 145lb crown, losing his first title defense to the long reigning champion Goncalves.

Bardia didn't like his chances of getting better enough to beat Goncalves. That's the end of the road for a lot of fighter careers, but Bardia went right back to the drawing board. He dropped to 135 and won the title in that division in his first fight! He did go on to defend the 135 lb title once before relinquishing it to an up and comer from the new wave of MMA kids.

Bardia has been on an amazing ride, and we at SAFO are proud to have been a part of it. He We has fought in six title fights in his eight fights going 4-2 in those fights. We are happy to announce his induction into the SAFO Hall of Fame.
