Three fighters ranked in the Top 5 of their respective divisions are back in the saddle Friday at BKFC 45, LIVE on The BKFC App from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. 

x Luis “Baboon” Palomino (8-0, 3 KOs) is No. 1 on the BKFC Pound-for-Pound rankings, BKFC World Lightweight Champion and BKFC World Welterweight Champion. He defends his BKFC World Lightweight Championship for the record sixth time against James “Lights Out” Lilley. Palomino, the only fighter to ever win their first eight BKFC matches, is the only fighter to ever hold the top spot in the Pound-for-Pound rankings.

x James “Lights Out” Lilley (7-0-1, 4 KOs), the No. 1 contender in the BKFC lightweight division, is 3-0 with a pair of knockouts since signing with the organization in 2022. 

x Howard “HD” Davis (3-1-1, 2 KOs), the No. 2 contender in the BKFC featherweight division, looks for his second straight win against Eduardo Peralta (0-1) in a lightweight matchup. Davis’ only loss came via a doctor stoppage due to cut to Louie Lopez, the No. 1 contender at 145 pounds.

All the action, as always, streams LIVE on The BKFC App.
