The great times keep rolling this week for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, the fastest growing combat sport in the world.
On Friday, BKFC 42 goes down in Greenville, SC, LIVE on The BKFC App, less than two weeks removed from the most epic event in BKFC history, the game-changing BKFC 41 in Denver.
Friday’s Main Event features a can’t-miss lightweight battle between the undefeated Tony “Loco” Soto (4-0) and former BKFC title challenger Tyler “El Tornado” Goodjohn (4-2).
The fast-rising Soto, who represents Wilmington, NC and Bronx, NY, has looked unstoppable in the Squared Circle as he goes for his fourth straight KO against Goodjohn. But Goodjohn, who hails from the United Kingdom, is surely Soto's toughest challenge so far. The first European fighter to compete for a BKFC World Championship, Goodjohn is hungry to prove that he’s still one of BKFC’s best after losses to Luis "Baboon" Palomino, the No. 1-ranked Pound-for-Pound fighter on the roster, and James Lilley, the No. 1 contender in the stacked lightweight division.
Two of the top middleweight prospects in the world of bare knuckle fighting collide in the Co-Main Event as Doug "ColdRed" Coltrane tries to climb to 3-0 with a second KO against the towering Blake LaCaze (1-1, 1 KO). Both fighters are hunting for a statement win that they know could elevate them into the Top 5 rankings of the division.
In the Feature Fight, Keith “The Rockstar” Richardson makes his highly anticipated return to the Squared Circle against the debuting Nick “Nicky No Holdz Barrz” Burgos. Richardson is 1-0 after his Fight-of-the-Night winning debut victory against Justin Scoggins at BKFC 35 in January. Both fighters bring extensive professional MMA experience to this bantamweight showdown; Richardson is 22-11 and Burgos is 11-6.
BKFC 41 features a number of other hotly anticipated fights, including Andy “The CrAsian” Nguyen (2-0) versus the debuting Sydney “Sundance” Smith in the women's strawweight division, a featherweight banger between Brandon Allen (2-1, 1 KO) and Trevor Loken (1-0, 1 KO), plus the return of UFC vet Dustin “The Disciple” Pague (1-1, 1 KO) and the highly anticipated debut of Blue Chip MMA prospect Cole Ferrell, who’s 11-1 with 11 stoppage victories as a pro fighter.
All the action, as always, airs LIVE on The BKFC App.
