If we learned one thing from last weekend’s World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 4 fight card in Ontario, California, it’s that bantamweight Brandon Hempleman is tough as nails and a fierce competitor.
Hempleman (9-2) may have been on the losing end of a decision loss to Marlon Moraes (11-4-1), but his determined “Rocky” style pushing forward delighted the capacity crowd in attendance and viewers nation-wide on the NBC Sports Network.
Just how much damage was he able to absorb? He posted pictures of his post-fight busted up face and broken leg to his Facebook account. Yep, that’s right, he fought to the final bell with a broken leg, and eyes swelled shut with blood.
Say what you will, but Brandon Hempleman is all that is right in MMA. Congrats on the gutsy effort “Hot Rod”; you’ve earned our respect here at MMADIRT.com.
