Charisa Sigala, a seasoned BKFC veteran and former title challenger, faced a severe setback in her latest fight. During the Super RIZIN 3 event at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on Sunday, Sigala went up against Tai Emery in a highly anticipated bare-knuckle match.

In the opening moments of the fight, Emery landed a devastating punch that broke Sigala’s nose, leading to a first-round knockout victory. The injury was evident immediately, with blood streaming down Sigala’s face as she struggled to recover from the unexpected blow. This marks Sigala's third consecutive loss, following her previous defeat at BKFC KnuckleMania 3 in February 2023, where she suffered a significant ankle injury against Jayme Hinshaw.

Emery, who gained notoriety for her controversial BKFC debut in Bangkok in September 2022, made a strong comeback after a brief hiatus from the ring. Her powerful punch not only secured her a quick victory but also highlighted her striking prowess.

The injury to Sigala's nose was a grim reminder of the brutal nature of bare-knuckle fighting. As she faces a challenging recovery, fans and analysts are left to wonder about the future prospects for the once-promising title contender.
