Empire Fight Series 3 – Event Review & Results
Empire Fight Series returned to Claremont Showgrounds for its third installment, delivering a night of high-impact Muay Thai action featuring a full professional lineup and emerging talent from across the country.
In the main event, WA’s own Cian Lougheed secured a hard-fought decision victory over seasoned Victorian veteran Alexi Petroulias. Lougheed showcased relentless forward pressure across five rounds, closing out a convincing performance in front of a vocal hometown crowd.
The co-main event delivered one of the night’s most dramatic finishes. In a high-stakes Featherweight clash between two Thai veterans, Samartlek of Fightworks NSW scored a brutal second-round KO over Perth-based Pet Sam Rit, with a perfectly timed head kick knockout.
In title bout, Reece Corrigan of Suay Muay Thai captured the WMC WA Lightweight Title, stopping James Gifford of Riddlers Gym via TKO in Round 2. Corrigan’s aggressive pace and striking power proved too much, as he now proudly holds both the WMC and WBC Western Australia State titles.
Rounding out the night, Riddlers Gym prodigy Luke Di Scerni delivered a spectacular first-round KO over Zayd Zailani, capping off the event with fireworks and further cementing his status as one of WA’s rising Super Lightweights.
