It’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) Fight Week on both sides of the pond — BKFC 70 goes down Thursday in Hollywood, FL and BKFC Fight Night: Manchester takes place Saturday in Manchester, England.
Thursday’s BKFC 70 airs LIVE worldwide exclusively on DAZN from the legendary Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and Saturday’s BKFC Fight Night: Manchester airs LIVE globally on The BKFC App from the iconic Planet Ice Leeds.
Both events are stacked from top to bottom with an exhilarating mix of a who’s who of established BKFC superstars and hungry, fast-rising fighters.
Thursday's BKFC 70 Main Event pits one of the most celebrated fighters to ever grace the BKFC Squared Circle, Luis “Baboon” Palomino, against the sensational Howard “HD” Davis. Palomino is eager to rebound from his first career loss and re-stake the top spot on the BKFC Pound-for-Pound Rankings. Now in his 10th appearance under the BKFC banner, Davis can’t wait for the opportunity to add the legendary “Baboon” to his already impressive resume.
The Richter Scale is on full alert for Thursday's Co-Main Event heavyweight showdown between Leonardo “El Zambo” Perdomo and Steve Herelius. The unbeaten Perdomo is undefeated in his first six trips to the Squared Circle, with all of his wins coming by jaw-dropping, first-round finish. The iron-fisted Herelius is undoubtedly the tallest task of Perdomo’s career. One thing is almost certain — the judges won’t be needed for this one.
Major title implications in the BKFC bantamweight division are on the line in Thursday's Feature Fight between the unbeaten Justin “Joy Boy” Ibarrola (6-0) and the always-dangerous Abdiel “The Nightmare” Velazquez (4-4) . Also on Thursday's Main Card is a must-see matchup between the undefeated Edgard Plazaola and former BKFC World Featherweight Championship challenger Louie “El Loco” Lopez. Fans are eager for Thursday to see the return of fast-rising unbeaten stars Chris “Dynamite” Garcia (4-0), Armando “The Biggest” Rodriguez (2-0) and Rambo Russo (2-0).
The baddest 145-pound fighter in the United Kingdom will be crowned on Saturday as the unbeaten Jonno “JCB” Chipchase (3-0) takes on the surging Gary Fox for the vacant BKFC United Kingdom Featherweight Championship in the highly anticipated Main Event of BKFC Fight Night: Manchester.
Saturday’s action is loaded with top UK talent, like Danny “The Destroyer” Moir (3-0), Conor “Da Crook” Cooke (4-1), Bart “The Polish King” Krol (4-1), David Oscar (4-2), Dawid “Macho” Chylinski (3-1), Luke Nevin (3-2), David “One More” Round (3-3), Mathilda Wilson (3-3), Leigh “The Boom” Cohoon (1-0), Danny “The Cheesecake Assassin” Mitchell (1-0) and Stevie Taylor (1-0).
