BKFC News

Tom Taylor - March 25, 2019

Retired boxer Paulie Malignaggi seems to absolutely detest UFC superstar Conor McGregor, but it doesn’t seem like he and McGregor will have the chance to settle their differences in the ring any time soon. The good news for Malignaggi is that he could soon have the opportunity to fight McGregor’s friend and chief training partner, Artem Lobov. Both Malignaggi and Lobov recently signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation (BKFC), and depending on the outcome of Lobov’s April 6 fight with Jason Knight, they could soon be clobbering each other sans gloves in the BKFC ring.

Artem Lobov, a chief training partner and good friend of Conor McGregor, recently signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Not long thereafter, BKFC inked a deal with former boxer Paulie Malignaggi, one of McGregor’s key enemies. To say Artem Lobov and Paulie Malignaggi are on a collision course would be an understatement. In fact, the trash talk between them has already reached a fever pitch.

Leonard Garcia, a veteran of the UFC and WEC featherweight divisions, is planning to end his retirement. The all-action veteran is plotting a move to the growing sport of bareknuckle fighting, where he will compete under the Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner. Spoke to @badboygarcia on @bjpennradio last night and he told me that he's coming out of retirement to compete in @bareknucklefc early next year!! More coming to @bjpenndotcom soon. #TheFightersVoicehttps://t.co/HQVRFz43lu

Last night, Bareknuckle Fighting Championship returned with its second card, live from the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi. Though excitement surrounding this BKFC 2 card was somewhat muffled by the buzz produced by UFC Lincoln and *shudders* Logan Paul vs. KSI, there were plenty of reasons to watch. The card, which was topped by a title fight between champion Bec Rawlings and challenger Britain Hart, also featured appearances from MMA notables Chris Lytle, Joey Beltran, “Felony” Charles Bennett, Kendall Grove and Tony Lopez — not all of whom were lucky enough to leave Wyoming with victories.
