“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 Leben** 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.

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.

**Christina Martelo:** “I’m really excited about it because this is a very big fight. I can’t wait to get there, step into the ring and put on a great performance.”

***O que isso significa para você luta?***

**CH:** “This is going to be the biggest women’s fight in history. Nós dois somos campeões, she has Olympic gold medals and other accolades, so with all of that combined, it’s going to be a game changer for our sport.”

***What do you need to do to win?***

**CH: “**I’m a long time champion and I know what to do in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat her. I have great foot work and my goal is to beat her badly.”

***What do you think of Claressa inside and outside of the ring?***

**CH:** “Claressa has obviously accomplished a lot going back to the Olympics. This is a big step for her and I think it’s going to be a challenge for her. As a person, she’s just my opponent, that’s all.”

***Can you describe your style of fighting and what fans can expect on April 13?***

**CH: “**I’m tall for my division so I use my reach. I have great footwork and technique and power and I want to show off all those skills. I’m going to show that Christina Hammer is a great champion. I like to play with my opponent, and when the moment is right, I beat her down.”

***Can you talk about your experiences as a fashion model and why that’s important to you?***

**CH:** “I like modeling because it’s a different part of me. You can be more feminine and athletic. I did my first shoot three years ago and I had never done anything like that. I’ve worked on my skills there too.

“To be a model is an easy job, it just gives me confidence. Being a fighter is hard. You have to give everything, because in the ring you can’t run away. You have to fight and defeat someone.”

***Would you ever want to compete in another sport?***

**CH:** “Eu não sei. Boxing is the best sport to me. It’s my passion. I give everything to the sport and my dream now is to be successful in America.”

***Is there anyone in boxing history you’d have loved to fight?***

**CH:** “Laila Ali was a great champion and If I fought her that would be a great fight.”

***Do you see women’s boxing as a sport on the rise?***

**CH:** “Sim, it’s really grown in recent years. There are more fights on big platforms for us and I think this is just the start.”

***Would you recommend for other women to go into boxing?***

**CH:** “Boxing is a great sport. You need technique, intelligence and it makes you feel more confident. If something happens, you can take care of yourself. It’s the best workout and I suggest it to everyone.”
