Jared Revel is a 11-4 MMA fighter who has proved himself time and time again in the BFL cage. He’s beaten great fighters in the BFL cage like Micah Brakefield, Collin Hart, and most recently Drayton Agnus. The past three years Revel took some time away from BFL to compete in other promotions which unfortunately gave him a losing record of 1-2. Jared scheduled his return to BFL though and was set to face his toughest opponent to date when he stepped into the cage on March 30th.

Jesse Taylor is a UFC veteran with a 33-16 record. He’s fought the likes of Denis Kang, Luke Rockhold, David Branch and many more. He won his way into the UFC after destroying the competition in The Ultimate Fighter reality t.v show competition. Jesse is a veteran of the sport with years of experience under his belt.

While both fighters have high level skill, many fans and experts expected the veteran Jesse Taylor to win. MMA enthusiasts expected Jesses experience would play a factor in this match as he debuted nearly 6 years ahead of Jared, and has more then triple the amount of fights.

Jared proved the doubters wrong though as he went out and submitted Jesse Taylor in the very first round of the fight, retaining his championship belt and increasing his record to 12-4. It seemed as though Jesses experience actually seemed to play a part in his demise as he looked significantly slower then usual.

With a win like this Jared has potential to be signed by one of the bigger promotions like the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) or Bellator. Time will tell what the future holds for this superstar.
