The Albanian extreme competition athlete in the cage, Arijan Topallaj lost consciousness on Saturday during the confrontation against Denis Frimpong. In the MMA confrontation at the "Octagon", Topallaj was defeated with a "technical knockout" and was forced to be taken to the hospital, as he emerged from the ring on a stretcher. Fortunately, the condition is not reported to be serious, but blows to the head in an extreme sport have left scars for the 26-year-old.


Denis Frimpong defeated the Albanian fighter, Arijan Topallaj, with a technical knockout on Saturday night at 'BMW Park'. The 30-year-old from Dublin put in a strong and decisive performance, forcing the referee to stop the match in the third round, just 44 seconds after the start.

Although he initially faced fan pressure and Topallaj's physical resistance, Frimpong took advantage of the opponent's fatigue to take full control of the confrontation in the final round. With 100 total shots (47 more than his rival), the Irishman dominated the scene at the end, while Topallaj ended up lying on the ground and was taken out of the arena on a stretcher.

According to the first reports, 26-year-old Topallaj was taken to the hospital for further examinations as a precautionary measure, but it is not believed that he suffered serious injuries.

After the victory, Frimpong burst into tears during the interview, while sharing the news that he is expecting the birth of his son next week.

"He (Topallaj) said that I had no heart, but I told more than that. I am here, I risked not being at the birth of my child, but my wife gave me the strength to do so. It was all about him," Frimpong said.

The fighter nicknamed 'The Menace' not only secured a significant victory for his MMA career, but also one of the most talked about moments of the evening, earning the public's respect for physical strength and human empathy.
