Their First BKFC Fight

PHILADELPHIA (Januari 22, 2019) – The clear “Kupambana ya usiku” juu ya uzinduziMashindano ya Mapigano ya Knuckle Bare (BKFC) mapambano kadi “BKFC 1: Mwanzo” Juni 2018 was a matchup that had the combat sports world buzzing when Joey Beltran scored a decision victory over Tony Lopez in a bloody war. The longtime rivals will pick up where they left off and again face each other, this time on Saturday, Februari 2 kama sehemu ya “BKFC 4: USA vs. Mexico” live on pay-per-view (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) from Beto Avila Stadium in Cancun, Mexico.


Tony Lopez and Joey Beltran’s first fight at BKFC 1 was one of the most exciting fights I have ever witnessed and I have been at thousands of them,” said BKFC Founder and President David Feldman. “Sometimes rematches don’t live up to the first fight, but I feel that this one will be even better. I expect great exchanges, lots of action and blood!”

“BKFC 4: USA vs. Mexico” will be broadcast across the United States and Canada, exclusively on pay-per-view through MultiVision Media, Inc, on all major television and streaming distribution outlets for $29.95. It will also be available worldwide via streaming to all in-home and out-of-home connected devices.

By February 3, Beltran and Lopez will have fought each other twice in BKFC competition, but that only tells a fraction of the story of their rivalry. The fighters first faced each other in 2008 kama sehemu ya “King of the Cage: Opposing Forcein a fight where Lopez forced Beltran into submission in the first round.

Lopez’s victory was his sixth consecutive MMA victory at the time, while Beltran had a four-fight winning streak snapped. Baada ya kupambana na, both men continued to rack up victories until their MMA rematch in 2009. Despite being dropped early in the fight, Lopez was able to recover and battle his way to a unanimous decision victory in a five-round contest.

While the two men would not square-off again for nearly a decade, they continued to have success in their respective MMA careers. Lopez fought more than 90 times in professional MMA, racking up an impressive 61 jumla wins, while Beltran would go on to be victorious in UFC and Bellator fights that he competed in through 2016.

Although their two battles had taken place some time ago, BKFC gave them a chance to once again show their skills, but also prove themselves in this rivalry. Juni 2, 2018, Beltran was seeking revenge, while Lopez sought to make it three wins against his rival.

Beltran struck the first significant blow, putting Lopez on the ground with an overhand right at the end of the first round as blood began to pour down Lopez’s face. An extremely competitive and tense round two concluded with an ominous stare down.

In the third frame, Lopez began trying to enforce his will on the fight using his size and a powerful sweeping left hook. Beltran continued to work his counters, but accidentally poked Lopez in the eye just over one minute into the round. After Lopez was given time to recover, the action picked up with increased intensity, as the two men stayed close to one another throwing bombs from short range.

After a wild exchange led to a quick referee-ordered timeout to clean the blood off of Lopez, the final moments of the third round showcased a memorable flurry of big punches from massive men who had already spent a significant amount of time in the ring against each other.

More of the same was on display in round four with both men working through large amounts of blood streaming down their faces. The fifth round was another bloody, brutal stanza that saw powerful punches thrown all the way until the end. Although Lopez raised his hands after the final bell rang, it was Beltran who would finally earn a victory against his rival.

Februari 2, 245 days after their fight at BKFC 1, Beltran will look to even the score against Lopez, while Lopez hopes to make it a 3-1 advantage and stake his claim as the superior fighter once and for all.

I am prepared to come to Mexico and get a finish and end this rivalry,” said Beltran. “This is the fourth time I have met this man inside of a ring. Each time has resulted in intense violence and entertainment. I expect the same from our encounter at BKFC 4. I am prepared to come to Mexico, get a win and end this rivalry once and for all.

A rematch is a second chance to fix my mistake in our last fight and give my fans in Mexico a chance to see the action up close,” ulisema Lopez. “I’m going to show the world I belong here in BKFC!”

BKFC 4 will also feature former Ultimate Fighter competitor Julian Lane battling Mexican-American UFC veteran Leonard Garcia,”Malkia wa Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings defending her title against Puerto Vallarta’s Cecilia Flores, 20-fight UFC veteran Chris Lytle facing MMA veteran JC Llamas, BKFC heavyweight tournament runner-up Sam Shewmaker returning to action to take on Tijuana’s Joel Paredes and former WEC Middleweight Champion and 12-fight UFC veteran Joe Riggs competing in his second BKFC attraction as he faces Mexico City’s HeribertoEl RudoTovar.

BILOXI, MS (Agosti 25, 2018) – “Malkia wa Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings kushindwa Uingereza Hart na uamuzi kupasuliwa (50-45, 49-45, 48-47) kama Mashindano ya Mapigano ya Knuckle Bare (BKFC) alirudi Jumamosi na “BKFC 2: Enzi Mpya” kutoka Coliseum ya Pwani ya Mississippi huko Biloxi, Mississippi na kuishi kwa mtazamo wa kulipia.

 

 

 

“Sidhani kama ulikuwa uamuzi wa mgawanyiko,” Alisema Rawlings. “Nilipojiandikisha kupigania BKFC walitutumia sheria na wakasema huwezi kumkimbia mpinzani wako. Unapaswa kujishughulisha. Una toe mstari. Hapo ndipo wanataka hatua ifanyike na utapoteza pointi usipotii sheria hizo. Hivyo, Hakika mimi ndiye niliyesukuma mwendo usiku wa leo. Nilikuwa katikati wakati wote na nilipiga risasi ngumu zaidi.”

 

 

 

Baada ya ushindi wake dhidi ya Alma Garcia katika BKFC 1, Rawlings alituzwa Gazeti la Kitaifa la Polisi kwa mkanda wa ndondi usio na kitu kwa wanawake. Pamoja na ushindi Jumamosi, Rawlings alihifadhi jina lake.

 

 

 

“Kunyakua taji langu la kifundo na sasa kulitetea imekuwa heshima kubwa,” aliongeza Rawlings. “Nilipoingia kwenye kifundo cha mguu mara ya kwanza sikujua historia na kila kitu. Nilifikiria tu ilikuwa njia mpya na ya kufurahisha ya kujijaribu. Kisha nikapata mkanda huu baada ya ushindi wangu kwenye onyesho la kwanza na nikagundua ni mpango gani mkubwa huu.”

 

 

 

Rawlings alihitimisha, “Nina afya nashukuru. Mikono yangu kwa kweli ilikuwa imevimba zaidi baada ya pambano langu la kwanza la kupiga magoti. Labda nitakuwa vizuri kwenda tena mnamo Desemba, lakini mimi ni bingwa na niko hapa kupigana na yeyote wanayemweka mbele yangu.”

 

 

 

Pambano la kwanza kati ya pambano la nusu fainali la uzani wa juu lilishuhudia ubadilishanaji wa kishindo kama vile Arnold Adams kusimamishwa Joey Beltran :09 kwenye sura ya tano. Adams mtulivu sana na aliyekusanywa alidhibiti hatua nyingi.

 

 

 

“Nilijua ningepata ushindi. Sikuwa na wasiwasi sana kuhusu Beltran, amekuwa na vita vingi,” ulisema Adams. “Sidhani kama ana hii ndani yake tena, lakini ana moyo na alionyesha usiku wa leo kwamba anataka kushindana. Nina njaa ingawa, amekuwa juu na kushindana kwenye maonyesho makubwa. Bado sijafika kabisa, lakini huu ni wakati wangu na nitaushika wakati huo.”

 

 

 

Katika ufunguzi pande zote, Adams alimkata Beltran juu ya jicho lake la kushoto. Kama mwisho wa mzunguko wa nne unakaribia, Adams alipata pigo lingine baya ambalo lilifungua zaidi kata, kumlazimisha daktari wa pembeni kusitisha mapigano.

 

 

 

“Nilimkata kwenye raundi ya kwanza, lakini lile jabu la mwisho lililomkata niliona damu ikimwagika karibu na jicho lake,” aliongeza Adams. “Kama papa, Nilimfungia ndani. Nilikuwa nalamba midomo yangu, macho yangu yakawa makubwa na nilifanya nilichohitaji kupata ushindi.”

 

 

 

Katika nusu fainali ya pili ya uzani wa juu, Sam Shewmaker kushindwa Maurice Jackson na uamuzi kupasuliwa (49-45, 48-45, 48-46).

 

 

 

“Nilikuwa najaribu kuingia ndani na kwenda kazini, lakini alitaka tu kuendelea kunifunga,” Alisema Shewmaker. “Mtindo wake ulinizuia sana kutumia mpango wangu wa mchezo. Kila nilipokuwa nikiingia ndani alinishika. Ilikuwa inakatisha tamaa sana. Na ni vigumu kufanya kazi kwa mbali na mtu ambaye ni mrefu sana.”

 

 

 

Jackson alifanikiwa kupiga picha safi, akimshika Shewmaker kwa ndoano ya kushoto iliyomwangusha katika raundi ya pili.

 

 

 

“Alinipata kwa risasi nzuri, aina moja ya nyuma ya kichwa changu ambayo iliniangusha, lakini niliibuka tena na kuendelea kupigana,” aliongeza Shewmaker. “Kugonga hakunisumbua sana, tu knocked me kidogo off usawa. Nilijisikia vizuri muda mfupi baadaye.”

 

 

 

Ushindi wa Adams na Shewmaker ulifanikisha fainali ya mchujo wa uzito wa juu huku wawili hao wakitarajiwa kumenyana BKFC. 3.

 

 

 

“Ni wakati wa kuifungua,” ulisema Adams. “Sam Shewmaker ana nguvu katika mikono yote miwili, lakini niko tayari kwa mtu yeyote.”

 

 

 

“Ninatarajia fataki nitakapokabiliana na Adams,” Alisema Shewmaker. “Ana jab nzuri, lakini nina jab nzuri pia na napenda kupiga. Hivyo, inapaswa kufanya mechi kubwa katika fainali.”

Here are what press conference participants had to say Thursday:

 

BEC RAWLINGS

 

 

 

Training in California was great to just get acclimated to the time change and the weather, because it’s winter in Australia. Tulirudi kwenye gym yangu ya zamani, Muungano wa MMA, na nimemaliza tu kambini hapo. Ilikuwa mwisho mzuri kwa kambi. Tulikuwa na wakati wa kutohisi kukimbilia na kuingia katika hali ya mapigano.

 

 

 

“Mpinzani wangu anajiamini sana, kutokana tu na yale ambayo nimeona kwake leo anajiamini sana katika seti yake ya ujuzi. Lakini, Ninahisi kama kujiamini wakati mwingine ni anguko la watu. Sidhani kama anafahamu kuwa hii ni ndondi ya ngumi mtupu. Hii si ndondi ya kitaaluma, Hatuna glavu na huwezi kuachana na vitu ambavyo unaweza kupata katika ndondi za kawaida.. Nadhani itanichukua kumpiga ngumi ya uso ili kutambua hilo.

 

 

 

“Hakika ninahisi kama nina makali, Nina uzoefu sio tu katika MMA na glavu ndogo lakini uzoefu wa kuwa na toleo langu la kwanza kwenye BKFC 1. Sidhani kama itapita raundi ya tatu.

 

 

 

“Kuwa na uzoefu wa knuckle ni faida kubwa. Niliingia kwenye pambano hilo la mwisho na mengi yasiyojulikana. Nilifurahiya sana huko nje na nikaona jinsi mtindo wangu unafaa sana mchezo huu. Ninaichukua kwenye vita hii. Nimepumzika, Niko tayari kwenda na ninafurahi kuingia huko.

 

 

 

“Nadhani anajipenda bondia, kwa hivyo nadhani anaweza kubaki nyuma ya jab yake, fimbo na kusogeza kitu kama hicho. Niko tayari kwa mtindo wowote. Nilifikiri kwamba mpinzani wangu wa mwisho angefanya hivyo lakini alitoka akibembea. Niko tayari kwa vyovyote vile. You’re always guaranteed fireworks when I’m fighting. It doesn’t matter who I’m put in front of, you know it has to be a fight, and that’s what you can expect Saturday night.

 

 

 

It’s been really awesome to be a trailblazer for BKFC. I knew I would get some news and some press and that people would like what I’m doing. The support has really been amazing. I’ve gotten so many fans and so much new respect from other fighters as well. It’s definitely taking off, and it’s really cool to be at the forefront of the whole thing.

 

KENDALL GROVE

 

 

 

I don’t really know what to expect. I’m a fighter and I’m of course coming to fight. But we’ll see if I’m going to be a smart fighter like I said I’d be. I could jab and pick my spots and put him away. But then again brawling has got me to where I am and got me a lot of notoriety. So why can’t I do both? Bila shaka, once you get hit, everything goes out the window. Ego gets involved and sometimes you just go for it.

 

 

 

There might be some more stinging and burning than I usually feel in a gloved fight. I sparred without gloves a while ago because I was curious and I felt some of that. My hands felt alright but there is that slightly different sensation from the bone on bone contact.

 

 

 

This is going to be a real fight. I respect my opponent and I know he’s coming to give me his best. He’s going to come for me. But I’m going to do me and figure out how to get the win.

 

 

 

I’m very excited to be a part of BKFC. This is a great organization and I’m going to try to make a great impression on everyone.

 

 

 

It’s definitely been an interesting 48-hours trying to get here from Hawaii. Luckily I was able to take care of everything at home and make sure my family is prepared for the hurricane. Now I’m here and ready to go.

 

CHRIS LYTLE

 

 

 

I think no matter what you’re going to see two people who are trying to knock each other out. I don’t believe in decisions. If you got two really tough guys and they land a lot of punches and nobody goes down, you’re going to have a great fight and people are going to like it.

 

 

 

My goal is to go out there and hit him as hard as I can and I think he’s going to have the same strategy against me. So I anticipate a really exciting fight. You’re not going to be bored during our fight.

 

 

 

“Hapa ni kitu, I’ve had a lot of fights, probably 100 of one form of combat sports or another, so I know what I’m getting in to. I fought many times. There’s going to be a little bit of moving around and me trying to be a little bit smarter. With bare knuckles you can’t do the same things as with gloves on.

 

 

 

This is so cool for me. I always get people talking to me saying: ‘Why don’t you come back for one more fight?’ ‘I want to see you fight.It seems to be the first point of conversation always. So just being able to do this again, Mimi nina msisimko sana. I’ve talked to a lot of people who are very excited for me to come back and do something. I look forward for them being able to watch on the pay-per-view level.

 

 

 

I’m really looking forward to being out there and getting the feel of being in the ring again. I’ve had a lot of boxing matches, but I haven’t been able to box in an awful long time, as I was mainly doing UFC. So to be back in the boxing ring is going to make me very happy.

 

 

 

We’re both going to throw hard punches. I think somebody’s going to land a better one and I think somebody’s going to get hurt.

 

SAM SHEWMAKER

 

 

 

It was an honor to be a part of the first event. It’s history in the making. It’s also a humbling experience and a lot of fun. The fans, the promotional team, and everyone that put it all together just made it a great time.

 

 

 

 

To be able to have a victory like that, a highlight-reel finish, was amazing. I had never fought on a stage that big and it was just awesome to have the exposure and to be able to put on a good show for the fans.

 

 

 

There’s going to be fireworks Saturday night. It might not be as quick of a finish, but I can tell you it’s not going to be a decision. Somebody is going down I can promise you that.

 

 

 

This is going to be a brawl. He wants to stay on the outside, he’s going to want to use his jab and his straight right to keep me to the outside. I want to get chest to chest with this guy and just bang him up on the inside. So I’m expecting it to be a dog fight and I’m predicting a first-round knockout.

 

HARRIS STEPHENSON

 

 

 

I just want to say that I’m happy to be here and I can’t tell you how special this promotion has been. I’m so thrilled that my home has accepted BKFC with open arms and I hope we can have several more events here.

 

 

 

Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum is a huge venue and I think we’re going to pack it. I’m happy that I’m going to be fighting early on the card, because I want to see these fights myself. These are action-packed bouts and I assure you that you don’t want to miss it.

 

DAVID FELDMAN, Founder and President of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

 

 

 

It’s my great pleasure to be here in the great state of Mississippi, which is officially the second state to allow bare knuckle fighting in the history of the United States. I’m very excited about the response we’ve gotten from the fans here and I know the fighters can’t wait to put on a show for them.

 

 

 

It gives me chills to say that we’re here for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 2. The first BKFC show was titled ‘The Beginning’, because it was truly the beginning of something special. Now we’ve named this show ‘A New Era’, because we really are officially ushering in a new era in combat sports.

 

 

 

We have some of the best fighters in the world and fighters who have fought on really big stages. They’re all excited to be a part of this growing sport. We have fighters from all around the world stepping into the ring for a slew of sensational matchups.

LOS ANGELES (Agosti 17, 2018) – The “Malkia wa Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings met with media in Los Angeles on Thursday to discuss her return to Mashindano ya Mapigano ya Knuckle Bare (BKFC) and offer an inside look into the bare knuckle discipline.

 

 

 

Rawlings will be stepping into the ring at “BKFC 2: Enzi Mpya” Jumamosi, Agosti 25 kutoka Coliseum ya Pwani ya Mississippi huko Biloxi, Mississippi and broadcast live across the United States and Canada on pay-per-view in state-of-the-art 4K.

 

 

 

Tickets are available now exclusively at www.bareknuckle.tv kuanzia $35 kwa $250. “BKFC 2: Enzi Mpya” will be broadcast across the United States and Canada, exclusively on pay-per-view through MultiVision Media, Inc. on all major television and streaming distribution outlets for $29.95.

 

 

 

Rawlings scored a thrilling victory in the inaugural BKFC event and will return to BKFC 2 to take on professional boxer Britain Hart. Rawlings was joined by BKFC pay-per-view analyst Benny Ricardo, as well as her coach John Bastable, to go over the technical points of bare knuckle fighting, including the unique hand-wrapping technique.

 

 

 

Here is what Rawlings, Ricardo and Bastable had to say Thursday from City of Angels Boxing Gym in Los Angeles:

 

BEC RAWLINGS, Former UFC Fighter; Defeated Alma Garcia at BKFC 1

 

 

 

On Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

 

 

 

It took a lot of time and effort to really get MMA respected and looked at like a proper sport, and I think it’s going to take that with bare knuckle. But from the last event and how smoothly that ran, how professional it was, the fights were great. We all looked like seasoned fighters out there, which we were, and I think that’s what we definitely need to keep doing and it will progress from there.

 

 

 

I think the U.S. and even Australia one day will open up to doing bare knuckle as well, because it’s such a great event. It’s a great fighting sport, and it wasn’t any crazier than MMA and boxing, as you saw from the last event.

 

 

 

BKFC is doing it right, they’re doing it very professionally. They’re bringing in all the right people and all the right fighters. As long as it keeps going that way, I think the sport is going to take off.

 

 

 

A lot of boxing fans are coming over to bare knuckle because they love the stand-up aspect of boxing and this is just a new cool, fun twist. It’s taking it back old-school.

 

 

 

Even just around the local scene in Australia, I was with the UFC fighting and winning with the UFC and I could walk around a boxing promotion and no one would bat an eyelash at me. They would acknowledge me, but they weren’t interested in what I was doing. But as soon as I signed to fight bare knuckle I had so many people talking to me and offering really encouraging messages.

 

 

 

“Hivyo, it kind of evoked all the boxing fans to really get behind it and excited for it. It’s been pretty cool.

 

 

 

On fighting at BKFC 1

 

 

 

I finally settled in when I landed a really clean uppercut. To be hit, it didn’t feel any different than MMA at all. It’s more like a sting than a thud for a boxing glove.

 

 

 

The only difference I found was punching her, if you didn’t select where you were going to punch you felt it a little bit in your knuckles, but nothing crazy. The swelling was quite bad, but I swell and bruise really easily. It wasn’t too far different from MMA.

 

 

 

After BKFC 1, I had multiple messages from fighters in Australia, the U.S., even people with the UFC, asking me how I was treated, if it was fun, if I would do it again and how they could get involved.

 

 

 

It was just a whole bunch of different emotions, but a lot of interest in it. And I’ve got a lot of Australians wanting to get involved. Australians love to fight. I don’t think you’ve ever come across an Australian boxer that doesn’t go in there and leave it all in that ring. It’s ingrained in us. This sport is definitely built for an Australian.

 

 

 

On her upcoming bout at BKFC 2

 

 

 

Nothing has really changed on our side of it. My coach is a kung fu and open hand combat expert, so everything he has known for years we have just translated into the boxing aspect of it.

 

 

 

I guess we now know what to expect fight week, what it’s going to be like in there. That was kind of the unknown back (Juni). But I had so much fun last time, and I’m excited to get back in there and do it all again.

 

 

 

Bare knuckle was meant for me. I can’t wait to face off against Britain Hart on August 25th. This sport is all about precision and I know she’s going to come to fight and try to take this momentum from me. I’m not going to let that happen.

 

BENNY RICARDO, BKFC Pay-Per-View Analyst

 

 

 

“BKFC 1 in Cheyenne (Wyoming) was the first time in 130 years that a bare knuckle fight was sanctioned in the United States. Hivyo, it is a long time coming.

 

 

 

With bare knuckle fighting you need to be very precise. You have to punch through your index finger and middle finger and transfer that through the forearm where it cushions the blow. Outside of that you are going to break your hand.

 

 

 

A fight has five two-minute rounds. There’s not much of a feeling out period.

 

 

 

When I saw Joey Beltran was going to fight Tony Lopez I knew it was the fight of the night, and sure enough it was. That was a lesson in managing the time. At the beginning, Tony was feeling him out and by the third round he got into his rhythm, but it was too late.

 

 

 

For the men, it has always been three-minute rounds. Hivyo, they have to find a way to manage the two-minute rounds in BKFC.

 

 

 

The rules of (BKFC) are similar to boxing rules, which is David Feldman’s way of convincing the states. MMA fighters use Knees, shins and elbows.

 

 

 

Sam Shewmaker had the shot of the night. He fought a special forces guy who was chiseled and 305 paundi. I didn’t think he had a chance. Then you see him in the fight and land that overhand right. It was over.

 

 

 

What you can enjoy with bare knuckle fighting, that you can’t with boxing now, is the best fighting the best.

 

 

 

On the television side, MultiVision is sparing nothing to do this. BKFC 1 and BKFC 2 both being produced in 4K is tremendous, and you can see the action with extreme clarity.

 

JOHN BASTABLE, RawlingsCoach

 

 

 

They supplied wraps, bandages and tape, so that is what we used. For myself, it was the first time we wrapped like this because we had never competed in bare knuckle before.

 

 

 

It was the first time for all of us. The basis of the wrap is that the four knuckles of the hand are fully exposed.

 

 

 

The thumb and the wrist are stabilized, but besides that it is bare knuckle.

 

 

 

“Baada ya kupambana na, (Bec) had no damage to the wrist at all and no breaks in the hand at all, so the support worked. There was swelling and bruising, but the tape did the job.
