McBroom floors Faze Temper with single left hand to headline Brand Risk 15
Austin McBroom stopped Faze Temper with one punch in the Brand Risk 15 main event on Saturday, delivering a knockout so severe it drew a frightened reaction from the crowd and commentary team.
Austin McBroom knocked out Faze Temper with a single left hand to close the Brand Risk 15 main event on Saturday, ending a fight that had been a mutual exchange of heavy shots from the opening moments.
Both men entered the pocket early and often, trading with little regard for defence. McBroom smiled through the exchanges as he worked his setups, while Temper — also known as Temperrr — used his height and reach to stay in the fight. The strategy was high-risk for both, and it ultimately cost Temperrr dearly.
The finish came when the two fighters stepped into the pocket simultaneously and committed to power shots. Only McBroom connected cleanly, uncorking a left hand that landed flush and sent Temperrr crashing to the canvas in a heap. The crowd fell momentarily silent, and the commentary team audibly reacted with concern over whether Temperrr would recover. He did make it off the canvas, but the bout was over.
The knockout drew attention well beyond the Brand Risk audience. UFC CEO Dana White was caught on camera watching the event despite the UFC’s own Sacramento card running concurrently, a detail that underlines the crossover interest the influencer boxing scene continues to generate.
With the win, McBroom has reportedly positioned himself for a future Brand Risk matchup against Bryce Hall, though no date or official announcement has been confirmed.
