Cornutt\u00a0came out\u00a0strong, but Balitsky pushed hard in the final round to get a knockdown and almost submit Cornutt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never had more of an adrenaline rush than I got in this fight,\u201d Balitsky said. \u201cI got a second wind in the third round and I needed it. He (Cornutt) was the toughest opponent\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0ever faced. He had\u00a0a very good\u00a0chin and great cardio.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the win,\u00a0Balitsky\u00a0is now No. 2 in Tennessee among MMA amateur welterweights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI got the win through God giving me strength and blessing me with an amazing coach to push me,\u201d Balitsky said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Balitsky said he plans to fight again in October, but no opponent has been named.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to fight in the UFC, but right now I\u2019m just\u00a0moving fight\u00a0to fight and\u00a0living\u00a0in the moment,\u201d Balitsky said.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CASEY PATRICKDickson Post Brodie Balitsky celebrates his win with his friends and family.
