“The first fight was one of the best fights that I’ve ever watched,” rekao je osnivač i predsjednik BKFC-a David Feldman. “Lobov and Knight are true gladiators. They exemplify what BKFC is all about and that’s giving the fans what they pay for. I can’t wait to see this rematch, and I think it will be even better than the first one!”
“I promised Jason a rematch, and now it’s time to deliver on my promise,” rekao je Lobov. “Neka kum pobijediti!”
“I’m super excited to be the main event at BKFC 9,” rekao je Knight. “It means the world to me to have this opportunity again in front of my hometown crowd. They’re my fans and it’s my house. As for the outcome of this fight, one of us is going to sleep! The judges will not be needed in this fight.”
Lobov and Knight first squared off at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in April in the headlining event of BKFC 5. In a fight that saw both men hit the mat, Lobov won a narrow unanimous decision, separated by just a single point on two judges’ scorecards. Watch the action via the BKFC YouTube Page.
“Mislio sam da je osvojen mnogo puta,” rekao je Lobov, immediately after the fight. “Ispustio sam ga tri ili četiri puta. On je tvrd, teški klinac. Stalno je dolazio i dolazio. To je bila velika borba.”
“Svi znamo da nisam izgubio tu borbu,” rekao je Knight, shortly following the loss. “Svi znamo da sam opljačkan. Uredu je, I dalje idem na žurku večeras.”
Lobov followed up the victory over Knight by defeating rival, and former world champion boxer, Paulie Malignaggi in the BKFC 6 Main Event. That blockbuster event saw unprecedented build-up to a fight that ended with Lobov defeating Malignaggi by decision. 32-godišnji borac iz Rusije, Lobov made his name on season 22 od The Ultimate Fighter kao dio tima McGregor, gdje je prošao put do finala turnira prije nego je izgubio od Ryan Halla. He challenged Cub Swanson in a UFC main event in 2016, nakon pobjede nad Chrisom Avili i Alex Whiteom. He owns 13 professional MMA wins and has carried that experience into BKFC action. Watch Lobov discuss his favorite fighters via the BKFC YouTube Page.
Representing his hometown of D’lberville, Miss., Knight has a 20-6 professional MMA record since turning pro at just seventeen-years-old. He made his UFC debut in 2015 when he stepped in on just two weeks’ notice to face Tatsuya Kawajiri in The Ultimate Fighter sezona 22 finale, dropping a unanimous decision. Knight went on to win his next four UFC bouts between July 2016 and May 2017. A fan favorite in the Mississippi combat sports community, the extremely versatile Knight also won a custom rules grappling match in Biloxi in June.
BKFC 9 will be the company’s sixth event of 2019, following the upcoming BKFC 8 fight night on Saturday, Oktobar 19 live on pay-per-view and headlined by former UFC stars Antonije “Bigfoot” Silva i Gabriel Gonzaga going toe-to-toe in heavyweight action. Knight will be in attendance at the Florida State Fairgrounds Entertainment Hall in Tampa for BKFC 8 and be interviewed on the pay-per-view telecast.
