On Monday night, May 11, the UFC Apex Arena in Las Vegas (USA) hosted the Zuffa Boxing 6 tournament hosted by UFC President Dana White and Saudi functionary Turki Al al-Sheikh. The main event of the tournament, in the middleweight category (up to 72.2 kg), was between Ukrainian Serhiy Bogachuk (27 wins, 24 of them by knockout, 4 losses), who defeated the Russian in February, and American Shane Mosley Jr. (23 wins, 13 of them by knockout, 5 losses).

The three opening rounds of the 10-round fight were spent in mutual attempts by the boxers to find gaps in each other's defense. The 31-year-old Bogachuk, as the favorite, slowly pressed, checking the 35-year-old opponent with jabs and uppercuts, and the son of the legendary former world champion in three divisions, Shane Mosley, aimed for the Ukrainian's head. And at the end of the 4th three-minute period, Mosley Jr. stunned Bogachuk, but Serhiy was saved from the worst by the gong. But in the 6th round, the American sent the native of Vinnytsia to a knockdown. Bogachuk did not have time to recover, and after a series of blows from Mosley, the referee decided to stop the beating.
