Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday:

Paulie MALIGNAGGI

I’ve always been known as one of the toughest guys in boxing. Lobov is known as a punching bag with a loud mouth.

If I had it my way, I’d knock him out in the last round. I want to pummel him from start to finish. He’s going to come out trying hard, and then he’s going to get gun shy. He’s going to hesitate to even take a step.

I’m always looking for my next challenge. I wasn’t planning on this, but it was sold to me, and it appealed to me. Artem is a punching bag and I usually hit that for free.

I never lie, because I don’t have to fear anyone. You only lie because you’re afraid. Why are Lobov and his team lying? You know why. I don’t care what they think. I’m going to put this guy out next month.

As I train, I realize that my hands are like razor blades. Get a good look at Lobov’s face, because next month I’m going to make it look like a road map with lines all over it.

ARTEM LOBOV

I feel I have the upper hand in this fight. With age, it’s easier to get knocked out. He’s never hurt anybody in the ring, so it’s going to be a bad matchup for him.

I see me stopping him. He doesn’t want it anymore. In order to be a fighter and really compete, you have to have the fire. His fire is long gone.

My strategy is to come in there and shove my fist down his throat. It’s personal now with the way he’s been talking and acting. I’m going to put him away.

Paulie likes to hide behind the jab and feint. He never lets his hands go. He just hides and tries to make it to the end of the fight.

I’m going to let it all go in that ring on June 22. I’m going to be the ‘Russian Hammerfrom the start until the finish. I want to meet him in the ring and put him away like true warriors do.

I never wrap my hands. Not when I spar, not when I hit the bag or anything. It’s made them tougher. They may not look pretty, but they do a lot of damage.

It’s game over for Paulie. I heard he’s known as the ‘Magic Man’, but I just hope he doesn’t disappear before the fight.

CHRIS LEBEN

Bare knuckle is definitely an exciting sport. It’s all of the good stuff. Two guys going toe-to-toe. It’s what I do best and it puts me in a dangerous position to hurt my opponents. When I first saw BKFC I felt like this sport was made for me.

You can’t really cover up without the glove as a shield in bare knuckle, so it changes how you defend. But it also changes how you hit and where your range is at.

I think this sport was made for me and it’s going to show in the fight. We’re both heavy hitters. Brennan will be my toughest BKFC opponent to date and I’m not taking him lightly. I’m riding a resurgence and it’s not going to stop.

I’m pulling out all the stops and doing everything I can to prepare. Because on June 22, I’m knocking him out.

BRENNAN WARD

“Æfingabúðir hefur verið að fara mikill. I’m really excited because I’ve been waiting to do a bare knuckle fight for a while. I knew right away that this was for me.

I think I have a great skillset for bare knuckle. I’m quick and quick on my feet. I’m strong and have heavy hands. I’m able to brawl or box.

It’s basically a normal training camp for me, but with more boxing than ever. I’ve always boxed a lot anyway, so it’s something that’s come natural for me.

I’m a different fighter than who Leben has fought in BKFC. This sport is so well-suited for me. I just want to brawl. I wasn’t as into the other disciplines in MMA, so when BKFC came around, I was ready to sign on.

I think I’m going to be a force to be reckoned with at BKFC. I’m going to find a nice home and do work in the ring.

DAVID FELDMAN, BKFC Founder & President

This event is getting the kind of coverage it truly warrants. This is going to be a stacked pay-per-view event from top to bottom.

The main event here is a highly anticipated battle. This is the biggest bare knuckle fight in history.

We’re really happy with what we’ve been able to build. If you’ve seen any of our events, you know that it’s non-stop action from the start. We’re proud of what we’ve delivered to fight fans.

People originally said that Artem had no chance against Paulie, but once they saw Artem in his first BKFC fight, fans can see that this might be tougher than anticipated. This is different than boxing and different than MMA. Getting hit with that bare knuckle is different than anything you’ve experienced before.

I’m so excited to bring this fight to Florida and bring this fight to their fans. Júní 22 live on pay-per-view, this is one you surely do not want to miss.

BRIAN RICCO, Executive Producer & Distributor

We’re very excited to be on our sixth BKFC show in less than a year. Everything has been amazing. We’re expecting a big fight between two great fighters and we’re looking forward to bringing this event to fight fans around the world.

Malignaggi vs. Lobov will see the much-discussed rivalry between Malignaggi and MMA star Conor McGregor come to a head when Malignaggi squares off against one of McGregor’s teammates and friends in Lobov. Prior to Lobov’s BKFC debut in which he defeated Jason Knight in April, Malignaggi and Lobov exchanged words and nearly came to blows at a media day in New York. With the June 22 fight date set and buzz continuing to grow, they will soon settle the conflict in the ring.

I’m very excited to make my BKFC debut and for this fight to take place in Florida. Bringing BKFC to another state is only going to help this sport grow faster and attract more attention to bare knuckle fighting,” Said Malignaggi. “It’s no secret, Artem and I have some bad blood between us. I don’t like him and I’m looking forward to sinking my fists into his face. Júní 22 getur ekki komið nógu fljótt. Fans are going to really enjoy this one as the biggest BKFC card yet, and it’ll set the stage for even bigger and better events as more fighters realize that they can make a good living and have a great career in this discipline of combat sports.

I’m really looking forward to this fight,” said Lobov. “Paulie has been doing a lot of talking. He hasn’t been able to keep his mouth shut, but on June 22 I’m going to silence him. He’s an old boxer who’s coming off of the couch. He’s only doing this because he didn’t manage his money better, so now he has to take a fight against me, ‘The Russian Hammer.I expect to maul Paulie in there. He doesn’t know what he’s in for. I’m going to introduce him to some things that he’s never seen before and this is going to be a real fight.

A two-time, two-division boxing champion, Malignaggi joined BKFC earlier this year and plans to show off the skills that made him a world champion at 147 and 140-pounds. Representing his hometown of Brooklyn, New York, Malignaggi faced top competition and big stars such as Miguel Cotto, Zab Júda, Ricky Hatton, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and more throughout a career that spanned sixteen years. He put on title-winning performances against Lovemore Ndou and Vyacheslav Senchenko while also defeating Judah, Juan Diaz and Pablo Cesar Cano amongst his notable wins. He has not fought since 2017, but remains a staple of the of the combat sports world through his renowned work as a color commentator and analyst.

A 32-year-old fighter from Russia, Lobov defeated Jason Knight by unanimous decision in an exciting brawl to make his BKFC debut successful in April. Lobov made his name on Season 22 af The Ultimate Fighter as part of Team McGregor, where he worked his way to the finals of the tournament before losing to Ryan Hall.

BILOXI, Miss. (Apríl 6, 2019) – Former UFC veteran Artem Lobov defeated former UFC veteran and Mississippi native Jason Knight með samhljóða ákvörðun (48-47 X 2, 48-46) to win the main event of “BKFC 5: Lobov vs. Knight” in a Fight of The Year candidate on Saturday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss. and live on pay-per-view.

Knight started off fast, knocking down Lobov just 10 seconds in to round one. Hins, Lobov quickly popped up and came back to knock down Knight later in the first frame, again in round two, and for a third time in round three. The fourth and fifth stanzas showcased furious exchanges with both fighters leaving every ounce of themselves in the ring.

I thought he was conquered many times,” said Lobov. “I dropped him three or four times. He’s a tough, tough kid. He kept coming and coming. That was a great fight.

We all know that I didn’t lose that fight,” said Knight. “We all know that I got robbed. It’s alright, I’m still going to party tonight.

The co-main event featured former UFC veteran Chris líf quickly overwhelming former Bellator standout Justin Baesman with a devastating left hand, followed by a series of uppercuts that stopped Baesman just :25 in to the light heavyweight contest.

Christine Ferea scored a technical stoppage win over Britain Hart for the Police Gazette American Women’s Featherweight Bare Knuckle Championship. Ferea had Hart in trouble midway through the second round as referee Dan Miragliotta called for time to have Hart’s severely bloodied and bruised left eye checked. The ringside physician stopped the contest moments later at 1:09 in to the second round.

I’m the first woman to ever have this belt,” said Ferea. “I’m going to rep it strong and I’m super happy right now. The first round I was feeling (Hart) out. I was watching some of her footage and she can do it all. Svo, I just felt out the first round, touching her with the jab. And then the second round that’s when I went in and let my power go.

I would love (a fight against Bec Rawlings)!” added Ferea. “I’ve been asking for a fight with her for three fights. Ég held að ég skilið það.”

Former BKFC heavyweight title challenger Sam Shewmaker and former UFC veteran Chase Sherman fought to a split draw (50-45 Sherman, 48-47 Shewmaker, 48-48) in a crowd-pleasing heavyweight attraction that featured spirited exchanges all the way until the final bell of the fifth round.

One BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final matchup saw Reggie Barnett ósigur Rusty Crowder með samhljóða ákvörðun (50-44 X 3). An extremely evasive Crowder was deducted one point in the fourth round for throwing Barnett to the canvas as Barnett cruised to the victory by a wide margin.

After his win, Barnett said, “Everybody expected me and Bedford to be fighting in the championship. Johnny comes to fight. Ég kem til að berjast. Svo, you’re going to see nothing but fireworks and I personally think it’s a main event-caliber championship fight.

In the other BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final contest Johnny Bedfordhætt Abdiel Velazquez :58 in to round four. Bedford scored two knockdowns in the second round, a third in the third frame and sent Velazquez to the canvas for the fourth and final time in round four, with Velazquez electing to not get back up and continue.

Before Barnett and Crowder fought, Bedford prophesied, “I anticipate I’m going to fight Reggie Barnett in the finals. I thought that from the beginning. I think Reggie knew that from the very beginning. And I think Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship knew that from the very beginning by putting us on opposite ends of the bracket. I think it doesn’t matter who you name the number one and number two seeds, we are the two top dogs in this division.

With Barnett and Bedford winning their respective BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final bouts they will now face each other in the finals for a chance at BKFC’s first lightweight championship title.

Í undercard aðgerð, former UFC fighter Isaac Vallie-Flag scored a technical knockout victory over Randy Hedderick in a 165-pound showdown. Vallie-Flagg recorded two knockdowns in the third round and forced Hedderick to quit 1:22 in to round three due to an injured left hand.

The swing bout saw Gulfport police officer Harris Stephenson ósigur Khalib Harris með hættu ákvörðun (50-47 Stephenson, 48-47 Harris, 49-46 Stephenson).

Here is what the fighters had to say Tuesday from Mendez Boxing in Manhattan:

Paulie MALIGNAGGI

Without disrespecting Jason Knight, because we’ll see what happens Saturday, but I think everyone here would like to see Malignaggi vs. Lobov. I see that it’s picking up traction and fans in general are talking about it.

When I get Lobov in the ring, the goal is not just to win. I have to really excel and show something more. The goal would be to hurt him bad.

Being in the gym every day gets me excited. In that way, I feel mentally reborn. I’m sure there will be tough days, but that’s par for the course. I think mentally you can find motivation that will spur you on to chase certain goals.

I started talking to David Feldman first about being involved on the broadcast aspect of BKFC. But then he threw out numbers for me to fight that got my attention. Once we got past that first part of the conversation, things started moving along and here we are.

There’s always adjustments to be made in a new discipline as far as how you’re going to throw and receive punches. We’re going to make small adjustments, but your base is your base. My base is boxing and we’re going to keep the things we want to keep.

I’ve watched some of the bare knuckle fights and there are some fundamental differences. There are some things that boxers can take advantage of. But there are also some aspects that boxers might not be used to in bare knuckle.

ARTEM LOBOV

I’m a real fighter and I’m going to fight Paulie in a real fight. I want to make money for it. He knows I’m down. If you’re a real fighter, let’s fight in the ring.

Let’s be honest, Paulie doesn’t want to fight me on the street, because he knows I’d tear him apart in seconds. But I want to prove myself in the boxing ring. That’s why I’m doing this. I want Paulie safe until the day I can finally put my hands on him.

This is the only chance he has to get a shot in on me. When we do get to fight, he won’t get a hand on me, I guarantee that.

I’m here to fight on Saturday night. I’m a true fighter. No one will ever make me quit. I don’t care about anything that Paulie can do to me.

Paulie was always the fight I wanted. It’s ‘night nightfor Jason Knight this Saturday, then it’s on to Paulie. That’s the only fight I want. He deserves to get slapped around.

Jason Knight was a top UFC fighter at one point. He’s a very tough opponent, but his strength was mixing disciplines. Just boxing me, he doesn’t have a chance.

I love the bare knuckle training. This is my game. I love the stand-up fighting. My approach is that if you want to be a good boxer, you have to box a lot. I went into all of the best gyms in Ireland and got great sparring.

Opinber úrslit & MYNDIR
“The Crippler” (R) hætt “The New York Bad Ass” – Chris Leben stöðvar Phil Baroni
(allar myndir eftir Christopher Cook)
CASPER, Wyoming (Nóvember 10, 2018) – Sprengjur í burtu var þemað í gærkvöldi (Föstudagur) eins og bardagaíþróttamenn vopnahlésdagur baráttu berjast frumraun sína á spennandi “Rise of the Titans” heimsvísu greitt fyrir hverja áhorf, kynnt af World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation (WBKFF), í Casper viðburðamiðstöðinni í Casper, Wyoming.
Blóð flaug, bardagamenn voru að detta, og aðdáendur og hópur sem var nálægt getu var virkilega í stöðugri slagsmáli á kvöldinu, samkeppnishæf og eftirminnileg slagsmál.
Aðalviðburðurinn var sýndur par bardagaíþróttatákn, Chris “The Crippler” Lífið og“The New York Bad Ass” Phil Baroni, í sérstöku aðdráttarafl í léttþungavigt. Vinstrihentur Leben, að berjast úr San Diego, hristi af sér snemma hremmingarbragð Baroni, gólfaði hann, og slökktu síðan ljósin um miðjan fyrsta hring.
“Hann var að klína og ég vildi standa í miðjum hringnum og skella,” Lífið gerði athugasemd. “Niður fór hann frá stórri vinstri hendi. Hann er með harðan haus.”
(L) Dakota Cochrane kláraði Johny Hendricks
Í sam-lögun atburður, fyrrum veltivigtarmeistari UFC Johny “Biog Rigg” Hendrickskom út úr eins árs eftirlaunum frá því að berjast fyrir því að taka á sig hættulegan MMA öldung Dakota Cochrane, af Omaha, NE. Upphaflega átti Hendricks að berjast í aðalbardaga gegn “Irish” Brennan Ward, sem drógu sig til baka fyrr í vikunni. Cochrane var þegar að berjast á spjaldinu og hann samþykkti fljótt að leysa Ward af hólmi og taka á móti sínum vinsæla Fort Worth andstæðingi í sérstöku aðdráttarafli í millivigt..
Hendricks hlaut skurð á hægra auga í umferðinni, þá lauk Cochrane skyndilega og átakanlega bardaga 21 sekúndu í annarri lotu með sprengiefni, beint til hægri sem þaggaði niður í hópi stuðningsmanna Hendricks.
“Það (berum hnúa berjast) var örugglega öðruvísi,” fagnaðarlátur Cochrane sagði eftir bardagann. “Ég elska stóru hægri hönd mína, Ég hef verið að æfa það.:
“Heiðarlega, Ég er hrærður” sagði upphafinn forstjóri og stofnandi WBKFF Tom Stankiewicz eftir að upphafssýningu samtaka hans lauk. “Ég var mjög undrandi á undirlægjunni, Munoz, og ný stjarna fæddist í kvöld, Dakota Cochrane. Allir börðust sem best, þeir voru allir stríðsmenn. Ég vona að allir þessir bardagamenn verði hjá okkur. Við erum að skipuleggja aðra sýningu okkar fyrir febrúar 9 á stað sem á að ákvarða.”
Fight kvöldsins: Julian Lane (L) og Joey Angelo unnu hvor sinn nýjan Ford Mustang (sjá mynd hér að neðan)
Alltaf hörð baráttukona frá Ohio Julian “Hellboy” Akrein og Las Vegas’ middleweight Joey Angelo hafði fullkominn lokauppgjör, sem braust út í slökkvistarfi í þriðju lotu, að minnsta kosti þangað til Lane tengist beint til hægri á höku til að sleppa Angelo. Að fylgja skorkortunum eftir, Angelo opnaði fimmtu lotuna og fór fyrir brot, en Lane var árásarmaðurinn frá upphafi til enda, sem og skilvirkari kýla, vinna sér inn klofinn ákvörðunar sigur. Lane sigraði brotna vinstri hönd sem hann varð fyrir í þriðju lotu.
Christina Marks (L) blóðugur Jasmine Clark á leið til glæsilegs sigurs
San Diego MMA bardagamaður Christina Marks, 2017 Ultimate Challenge í öðru sæti, og fyrrum heimsmeistari í hnefaleikakeppni Jasmine Clark, Texas, kvaðratað í kvennakeppni. Merki, sem fagnaði 33. afmælisdegi sínum með stæl, skera Clark yfir hægra augað um miðbik upphafsins. Marks sveimaði andstæðing sinn í annarri, halda fjarlægð sinni og lenda stingandi skotum á skemmt auga Clark, þar til hún var ekki lengur fær um að verja sig og lét af störfum.
The $100,000 WBKFF léttvigtarmót hófst í gærkvöldi með tveimur svörtum og bláum slagsmálum. Fyrrum bardagamaður UFC og Strikeforce Robbie “Vandamál” Peralta, af Escondido, EINS, náði Írlandsfæddum Jay “The Mellow Fellow” Cucciniello, nú býr Spánn, í annarri lotu með ofurhægri hægri sem felldi hann. Blóð dreypir niður andlit hans eins og hugrekki, hinn gusi Íri kláraði þriðju lotuna sterka, og bardagamennirnir tveir börðust á jöfnum torfum í þeirri fjórðu. Þrátt fyrir sýn Cucciniello hamlar hann augljóslega, hann hélt áfram að koma fram í fimmta, en Peralta hélt stjórn, vel að velja bletti sína, á leiðinni til glæsilegs sigurs með samhljóða ákvörðun.
Suður Afrískur Leon “Járnljónið” Mynhardt, býr nú í Fairfield, EINS, var of mikið fyrir Texan Nick “The Ghost” Gonzalez í hinum mótsleiknum, og bardaginn var að lokum stöðvaður af dómaranum í annarri lotu vegna of mikillar refsingar.
Fyrrum UFC og Bellator bardagamaður Josh “Tannlæknirinn” Niður, að berjast úr Des Moines, Iowa, hafði ekki barist í 2 ½ ár, þegar hann kom inn í hringinn til að berjast við boxara “Brjálaður” Max Alderete, Albuquerque. Neer þurfti hring til að ryð gæti slitnað, eftir það gekk hann niður Alderete og hlaðinn niður á höfuð og líkama, henda aðallega efri skurðum, einn sem setti hann niður undir lok þriðju lotunnar. Alderete gat ekki svarað bjöllunni fyrir fjórðu lotuna.
Brasilískur MMA öldungur Marcelo “Halló” Alfaya setja seint skipti Joey Munoz á bakið með fyrsta högginu sem hann kastaði, en andstæðingur hans í Nebraska sýndi ógurlegt hjarta, sem leiðir til þess að fjöldinn kemur á bak við hann. Slit fór að gegna hlutverki í þriðju lotu, þar sem báðir bardagamennirnir hægðu á sér, en þeir slógu hvor annan í villtum fjórða hring. Í fimmtu og síðustu umferð, Alfaya var refsað stigi fyrir að slá eftir hlé, og Munoz lokaði sýningunni, draga fyrsta uppnám kvöldsins af stað með fimm lotu meirihlutaákvörðun. Munoz tók bardagann með eins dags fyrirvara, glatað 17 £, og keyrði í þrjá tíma til Casper.
Fyrrum bardagamaður UFC og Strikeforce Issac Vallie-Flagg og í uppnámi Cory simpsonopnaði PPV hluti næturbaráttunnar í 175 punda aflvigt. Eftir nokkuð stefnumótandi fyrstu umferð breyttist hraðinn skyndilega í annarri lotu þegar báðir bardagamenn opnuðu sig. Flokkur sigraði fljótlega sem Vallie-Flagg, Albuquerque, sló niður Simpson leik snemma og hann kláraði hann síðan með ofbeldi af grimmum líkamsskotum fyrir útsláttarkeppni í annarri umferð.
Kynnir hringjafrægðarinnar Jimmy Lennon, Jr. gekk til liðs við stjörnutilkynningateymi WBKFF –Bas Rutten, sem er líka WBKFF forseti, Kenny Rice og Jessica Penne -fyrir útsendingar og greitt er fyrir hverja áhorf og Preview, dreift af Integrated Sports Media.
Ofurþungavigt C.J. “Stór kaka” Leveque hlaut skurð á hægra auga í upphafsumferðinni, með leyfi Houston Juan Torres, en 288 ½ pund í Kaliforníu brást strax við með þilfari Torres, sem kom auga á andstæðing sinn 212 pund, með hringhús rétt í byrjun annar. Torres skoppaði strax til baka, þó. Hann boraði Leveque með grimmu skoti í þröngri stöðu, að senda hann andlit fyrst á strigann fyrir útsláttarkeppni í annarri lotu til að ljúka bráðabanakortinu.
Fyrsti bráðabana spilabardaginn gaf tóninn strax frá upphafsbjöllunni í 160 punda aflabrögðum. Langhærður uppáhalds Jeff Chiffens, að berjast frá Delaware, kom út að skjóta og 15 sekúndur í upphafsumferðinni, Chiffens sótti blóð fyrst, opnun skera yfirFred Pierce‘Hægra auga. Eftir að hringlæknirinn hafði skoðað og hreinsað Pierce til að berjast, aðgerðin hófst að nýju og Chiffen lét Pierce falla með virkjunarrétti. Pierce vann talninguna, en dómarinn stöðvaði bardagann á 1:04 merki umferðarinnar.
Nýlega samþykktar reglur þar á meðal að halda og slá, snúningur bakhandar og hamarhnefar voru leyfðir, og hefðbundinn hnefaleikahringur var notaður til að skoða sem best og tryggja öryggi. Til stóð að keppa alla leiki karla og kvenna fimm (tveggja mínútna) umferðir.
