FILADELFIA (Juli 11, 2018) – After successfully holding the first legal, reglerade och sanktionerade bare knoge händelse i USA sedan 1889 förra månaden, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is set to return Saturday, Augusti 25 med “BKFC 2: A New Era” from the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi och live på pay-per-view.
After the inaugural June 2 event was held in Cheyenne, Wyoming, this edition of BKFC will be held under the auspices and control of the Mississippi Athletic Commission, headed by Chairman Jon Lewis.
“With the overwhelming success of BKFC 1 i juni, I know that the stakes are even higher for our second event,” said BKFC Founder and President David Feldman. “We feel confident that ‘BKFC 2: A New Era’ will build upon what we’ve already accomplished and raise the bar with our fights and fighters.”
Tickets are available now exclusively at www.bareknuckle.tv som sträcker sig från $35 till $250. “BKFC 2: A New Era” kommer att sändas över hela USA och Kanada, uteslutande på pay-per-view genom Multivision Media, Inc., på alla större TV och strömmande distributionskanaler för $29.95.
The stacked night of fights will see the return of UFC veteran, and newly-crowned “Queen of Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings, who will face professional boxer Storbritannien Hart. The action will also include the semi-final round of the BKFC heavyweight tournament, med I Shewmaker tar på Maurice Jackson och Arnold Adams vänd Joey Beltran.
A veteran of both the UFC and Bellator, Beltran won the heavyweight tournament alternate bout at BKFC 1 when he defeated Tony Lopez in what was widely considered the “fight of the night” by both fans and media. Beltran replaces former UFC Heavyweight Champion Ricco Rodriguez, who has withdrawn from the heavyweight tournament due to injury, but will return on a future BKFC card.
Lopez has earned a place on BKFC 2 after his outstanding fight against Beltran and will now face 16-fight Muay Thai fighting veteran Jimmy Jennette.
Set to make their BKFC debuts on this loaded night of fights are Chris Lytle, who has a combined 44 victories as a professional MMA fighter and boxer, och Charles Bennett, who has had 70 professional MMA fights. Lytle spent eight years fighting in the UFC, and Bennett spent five in Pride FC.
