The Ares 20 saw Alioune Nahaye face off against Venezuelan fighter Luis Miguel Aular, who stepped in to replace Geraldo de Freitas.
Alioune Nahaye, 32 years old, is now a veteran comfortably seated in the featherweight category. He’s a true striker who has only suffered 4 defeats against 13 victories, including 8 by KO. His opponent hails from Venezuela, named Luis Miguel Aular, and he comes to challenge the French fighter on his home turf.
Physically they have similar profiles, but their styles are considerably different. Among the Venezuelan’s 9 career victories, 4 were by submission, 3 by KO, and 2 by judges’ decision. Thus, we have a versatile fighter, comfortable everywhere and potentially dangerous on the ground.
A Master Class from Alioune
Alyoune’s opponent changed shortly before the fight, so he did not have time to prepare properly. Originally, it was the Brazilian fighter Geraldo de Freitas who was supposed to face the Frenchman. However, it was Luis Miguel Aular who ended up standing as his opponent.
Alyoune is far too strong. It’s in the first round that he knocks Luis Miguel Aular out. He lands a magnificent knee strike that hits the Venezuelan squarely, sending him to the ground. He thus continues his winning streak and once again asserts himself in his favored category.
The night is splendid for the French as right after, Virgil Augen wins his fight against Vlad Gutu and at the same time claims the middleweight championship belt.
