Fighting out of D’lberville, מיסיסיפּי, Sherman won the BKFC title from Arnold Adams at BKFC 7 אין אויגוסט. Sherman has fought seven times in UFC and 13 פון זיין 14 pro MMA wins have come by TKO or knockout. He’s undefeated in his last five pro fights, with four wins and a draw.
Beltran has quickly become a BKFC mainstay, קאַמפּיילינג אַ 2-1-1 רעקאָרד, with a win and a draw coming against Tony Lopez in a pair of memorable fights, including a Fight of the Year contender in June 2018 on the first BKFC card (Watch their first fight דאָ and behind the scenes before their rematch דאָ). Fighting out of Carlsbad, קאַליפאָרניאַ, Beltran’s last BKFC fight saw him stop Jamie Campbell in the second round in June.
Bedford is one of the most accomplished BKFC fighters since the company’s inception, having won all four of his bare knuckle fights, and most recently became the BKFC Lightweight Champion by defeating Reggie Barnett Jr. on BKFC 6 אין יוני. He will be moving up in weight to take Ocala, Florida’s Bennett, who was defeated in his only BKFC outing, but has a long pro MMA career of delivering exciting action no matter where he’s fighting.
After an impressive amateur MMA career, Iowa’s Peralta won two of her three Invicta fights in 2018. She made her BKFC debut earlier this year, defeating Christine Ferea at BKFC 7 אין אויגוסט. She looks to build on that momentum when she takes on Victorville, California’s Kahaunaele, who competed on the Ultimate Fighter Season 26 and most recently dropped a UFC contest to Polyana Viana. She had previously put together a five-fight MMA win streak prior to being on Ultimate Fighter.
