    Good. I enjoy BKFC.

    Hopefully that Shannon Briggs vs Ricco Rodriguez fight that was planned before COVID materializes soon. Let's go champ!

      In case anyone missed it, here is 20-7 boxer Dat Nguyen's last BKFC fight:


      Also note that he come to the ring dressed as Raiden from Mortal Kombat.

      One of the coolest KOs I've seen in any combat sport.

        How big or well-known is the bare knuckle fighting championship in the US? does it attract ANY viewers?

        Maybe it's bigger than I realise but it seems like SKY sports in the UK getting the exclusive rights to Welsh football.

          It's very new. It's a niche so far but they had some decent buzz going before the pandemic hit. Until tonight's free Youtube stream, all their events were PPV/iPPV and they did well enough to attract DAZN's attention at least.

          They manage to pay a lot of their fighters more than they were making in UFC or Bellator.

          Notable boxers in BKFC:
          Dat Nguyen (20-7-0 in boxing, 2-0-0 in BK)
          Nico Hernandez (7-0-0 in boxing, Olympic bronze medalist, soon to debut)
          Shannon Briggs (2X heavyweight boxing champ, signed a contract during the pandemic, was being angled to fight former UFC champ Ricco Rodriguez)


          And then there was Paulie Malinaggi embarrassing the whole sport against Lobov.

          Ishe Smith also had a win in bare knuckle, but that was for Ken Shamrock's Valor BK (which may or may not already be dead).

            Good to know..... it's just not something I have ever been into or seen in my lifetime as anything other than a YT video that goes viral lol

            I do enjoy it, and would love it for to be popular, as these guys are tougher than tough and fighting like how most people would in a 1vs1 (straight-up, old-school boxing style) and landing bombs bare-knuckle.

            Who wouldn't want to see or respect that? with the right production?

                I just want to see Shannon Briggs in there. Even at 48 years old, there is no amount you could pay me to get into the ring with that man for 5 rounds at 2 minutes each. Look at his hands compared to Holyfield's:

                  More power to DAZN to balance things out vs the main promoters competition.

                  I am impress with DAZN, they took a huge blow and still return strong with more contents during this pandemic. Bare Knuckle is going to help them, plus Bellator too.

                    Although the one I posted earlier (Kaleb Harris) was much more brutal. But still good

                      Yeah, Shannon Briggs is still an absolute weapon. I recently had this video thrown up in my recommended on YT..... it's like a 220lbs guy hammering ona 250+ guy, and the size difference is quite staggering.
