JOHN PHILLIPS

John Phillips retired from MMA back in 2020 but the Welsh knockout artist is back at it, now without gloves! Having fought in the UFC, BAMMA, Cage Rage and Cage Warriors, the 22-11 Phillips has an experience edge over most of his likely opponents in the Squared Circle. He became the middleweight champion of BAMMA in 2015.

19 of Phillips 22 MMA wins were delivered by T/KO and he only went the distance twice in his 15 year career. He’s going to bring an extremely aggressive striking style with him when he toes the line and it’s very unlikely he or his opponent will see the final bell. Out of those 19 knockouts, 17 of them were inside of the first five minutes of his fights.

Wales is a proud fighting nation but is somewhat underrepresented in BKFC. With ‘The Welsh Wrecking Machine’ now on the roster, you can expect for more of his countrymen to be eyeing their opportunity to throw down in the big leagues of bare-knuckle fighting!
