“The crowd was electric; they made me feel like a star out there.”

Carson is chasing that triumphant feeling once again at BKFC 52 on Oct. 20 in Columbia, SC, when he takes on the debuting Daishaun Middleton, LIVE on The BKFC App.

“I’m fired up – I can’t wait,” he says. “I’ve been having a killer camp, so this is the best I’ve ever been – I feel great.”

Carson predicts a second straight stoppage victory in South Carolina, paving the way for a breakout 2024 campaign in the Squared Circle.

“This win is definitely going to boost my stock; we should have some really interesting matchups after this,” he says. 

“I’m taking it one step at a time – I’m not looking past this guy at all – but I’m confident in myself and I think after this we’re going to have some cool things in the works.”
