A longtime resident of Vero Beach, FL, the fan-favorite Vietnamese-born Nguyen, (3-1), won the BKFC Bantamweight World Title defeating Champion Johnny Bedford in an outstanding fight at the first KnuckleMania event on February 5, 2021. The all-action Nguyen battled current BKFC Double Champ Luis Palomino at BKFC-22 on November 12, 2021, valiantly losing a hotly contested decision in a sensational two-way battle. Nguyen also holds wins against Abdiel Velazquez and Travis Thompson under the BKFC banner.
Following an acclaimed run in Bellator, Straus made huge news in the international combat sports world by signing with BKFC last month. He compiled an overall MMA record of 26 wins and ten losses including victories over Patricio Pitbull, Henry Corrales, Marlon Sandro, and Pat Curran. His Bellator Featherweight World Title victory over Patricio Pitbull was voted MMA Junkie’s Fight of the Month. The fight against Nguyen is his first under the BKFC banner.

About Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle event in the United States since 1889. Based in Philadelphia, and headed by President and former professional boxer David Feldman, BKFC is dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of bare knuckle fighting, while utilizing a specifically created rule set that emphasizes fighter safety. BKFC holds all of its bouts in a revolutionary circular four-rope ring, designed to encourage fast-paced and exciting bouts. The patented BKFC “Squared Circle” contains scratch lines, based on the Broughton Rules which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century, and which requires fighters to “Toe the Line”: start every round face to face, and just inches apart.
In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay Thai are allowed to compete. The referees and judges are required to have extensive professional combat sports experience. All fights are held under the auspices and control of an Athletic Commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports internationally which claim to be “bare knuckle”, but require wraps, tape, and gauze; BKFC is true to its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within one inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest form of bare knuckle fighting. BKFC is dedicated to not just creating the safest, most exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle fighting organization in the world, it’s also leading the way for a new fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.
