GET TICKETS FOR BKFC 57
What’s so exciting about BKFC? It’s the only sanctioned bare-knuckle fighting organization out there, featuring some of the biggest names in combat sports.
Not sure you should get tickets? Here are three reasons why you can’t miss this event in person:
1. Luis Palomino vs. Austin Trout
As the reigning Light Heavyweight and Welterweight Champion (the first double champ in the BKFC), Palomino (9-0-0) looks to retain both his Light Heavyweight belt and his undefeated streak. However, that could all change on February 2 in the main event against former WBA light middleweight champ “No Doubt” Trout (1-0-0), who sent a clear message about what he thinks the champ is up against: “He better run.”
2. The hottest sporting event of the weekend
The first weekend of February is a tricky time for sports. Basketball hasn’t quite heated up yet, and that all-important football game of the year is the following weekend. You need the perfect sports fix to get you through the drought. BKFC 57 deserves your undivided attention.
3. A warm, much-needed weekend at the Hard Rock
Let’s face it: it’s too cold in most parts of the country right now. Do yourself a favor and book yourself a trip to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for a long weekend of gambling, tropical drinks, lounging by the pool, and an action-packed slate of fights.
Why BKFC?
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first legally sanctioned and regulated bare knuckle event in the U.S. since 1889, so, yeah, it’s as no-holds-barred as it gets. Dedicated to preserving the legacy of bare-knuckle fighting, bouts are held in a revolutionary circular four-rope ring, which is purposely designed for fast-paced and exciting fights. Moreover, each bout begins as fighters “Toe the Line” — which means starting every round face-to-face and just inches apart — the intensity is as high tense as it gets.
Fighters in BKFC are established pros from sports like boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai, and are the only athletes able to compete. Additionally, each competitor is only allowed to wrap their hands within one inch of the knuckle, so fights are as bare-knuckle as it gets.
There’s no denying this is as pure as it gets, with fighters scrapping it out as if they were in a street fight.
