Austin “No Doubt” Trout is set to defend his BKFC World Welterweight Title against Carlos Trinidad-Snake in the Main Event of BKFC 71 on Friday, LIVE worldwide on DAZN from the legendary Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. We checked in with some of BKFC’s most knowledgeable fighters to see which way they’re leaning for the Main Event of BKFC’s hugely anticipated debut in Dubai.

‍James “Get Down” Brown: This is one heck of a fight. I already have this one pre-ordered. I see a five-round banger ahead of us. I'm going with Trout by unanimous decision.‍

Zach “Shark Attack” Calmus: Austin Trout from 2011 to 2013 held the WBA light-middleweight world championship. In 2024 he won the BKFC World Middleweight Championship. Austin Trout is a champion and at 39 years of age he’s not ready to give this title up so easy. On the other side of the Squared Circle is Carlos Trinidad-Snake, who has amounted a huge amount of skills in his six fights with BKFC. Like I always say, you don’t go against the champs so Austin “No Doubt” Trout takes it — but not before a long, hard-fought battle with Trinidad-Snake.‍

Ramiro Figueroa: Austin Trout versus Carlos Trinidad is a great matchup, but I just don’t see anyone beating Austin Trout. He has so much experience throughout his years, and his IQ is just too much for people. I predict Austin Trout by KO.‍

Michael “Papa G” Larrimore: I think Trout is just too clean a boxer for Trinidad. I expect a close fight for the first two or three rounds, with Trout really finding his range and probably finding a finish in the fourth or fifth round.‍

“Super” Chad Lucanas: Austin Trout will win.‍

Wanya “The Rated R Superstar” Reid: I’m going with Austin Trout. I believe his experience as a fighter will show and outclass Trinidad-Snake.

JR “The Lion” Ridge: Austin “No Doubt” Trout with a five-round decision.

Zeb "CWB" Vincent: I'm going with Trout. As always, experience kills!

Andrew “Golden Child” Yates: I’m going with Carlos, only because I want to fight Austin at some point.
