Beasley wins the crossover bout
Michael Beasley defeated fellow former NBA player Delonte West by first-round technical knockout at Brand Risk 16 in Miami on October 16. MMA Fighting listed the stoppage at 1 minute, 58 seconds. The bout drew much of the event’s attention because both men were known primarily for basketball rather than boxing, and it was carried free across streaming platforms including Kick and YouTube.

A reshuffled main event
The card changed shortly before the opening bell. Wendy Ortiz did not receive medical clearance from the Florida State Athletic Commission, so her sister Evelyn Ortiz stepped in to face Yera. Yera won that replacement main event by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring it 30-27. A proposed King Azoulay-Supa Hot Fire bout also did not receive commission approval. [1] [2]
Other results from Miami
Deshae Frost stopped YK Osiris, Bree Olsen stopped Ashley Trevino, and Jack Doherty won quickly against Kodiyak Redd. Amanda Solis earned a split decision, while Ximena and AP the Fighter won unanimous decisions. The hybrid program also included MMA contests, with Bob Menery and Jeremy Smith recording first-round stoppage victories on a card designed around crossover personalities. [1] [2]
Why Kick searches surged
The search spike around Kick reflected where viewers could watch as much as who was fighting. Brand Risk uses the reach of creator-led streaming to package exhibition-style boxing, sanctioned bouts and MMA into one long live program. For viewers checking the result after the stream, the verified headline outcome is Beasley’s first-round stoppage of West, not a decision or later-round finish. [1] [3]
