It’s the final stateside Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Fight Week of 2022, as BKFC 34 goes down Saturday under the bright lights at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, LIVE on the BKFC app.
2022 has been the biggest year in BKFC history, so it’s fitting the penultimate event of the year is stacked from top to bottom with can’t-miss fights, including a pair BKFC World Championship bouts.
In the Main Event, the No. 1-ranked Pound-for-Pound bare knuckle fighter in the world, Luis “Baboon” Palomino (7-0), defends his BKFC World Lightweight Title against his toughest challenger yet, Tom “A Gentleman of Violence” Shoaff (4-3). With a win, Palomino will be the first fighter in BKFC history to successfully defend a World Championship five times. But it won’t be easy, as Shoaff is riding high with three straight knockout victories.
In the Co-Main Event, the undefeated Francesco Ricchi (5-0) defends his BKFC World Middleweight Championship for the first time against challenger David “Redneck” Mundell (5-1). Four of Ricchi’s five wins have come by knockout, while Mundell has won three straight and is headhunting for his fourth stoppage victory in the BKFC Squared Circle.
In the Feature Fight, top prospect Blake “Bad” Davis looks to climb to 2-0 in the Squared Circle with a second straight, first-round stoppage against William “The 208 Underdog” Dunkle (0-1) in their middleweight matchup. Davis boasts a 9-0 record as a professional boxer, and Dunkle is 6-3 with three KOs as a professional MMA fighter.
Saturday’s BKFC 34 features several other highly intriguing fights, including a featherweight bout between Howard “HD” Davis (2-0-1) and Louie “El Loco” Lopez (2-1), a cruiserweight battle between Chris "Golden Gloves" Sarro (2-3) and Stephen "Tomahawk" Townsel (1-1), as well as the return of UFC vet Jocelyn “Lights Out” Lybarger (0-1) against fellow top women’s flyweight prospect Christine Vicens (1-0).
All of Saturday’s action, as always, will air LIVE on the BKFC app. The FREE BKFC 34 Preliminary Card begins Saturday at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT.
