KB Dubeau enters BKFC as an active featherweight with proven bare-knuckle experience. Before joining the BKFC roster, he earned a second-round TKO victory over Ryan Lowe in a Canadian organization, finishing the bout at 1:02 of Round 2. That result showed he can carry his offense beyond the opening minutes and find a fight-ending shot.

At Sturgis, Dubeau will be tasked with translating that regional bare-knuckle success to a larger stage. The matchup with Kroger provides an early opportunity to establish his identity in the BKFC featherweight division and build on the finishing ability he displayed in Canada.
