Pernell Stevens makes his BKFC debut a little later than he would have hoped after being scheduled earlier but the bout falling through. He gets to step into the Squared Circle at BKFC 89 with a decent spot on the card. Stevens has an extensive amateur MMA career behind him but just started fighting pro in 2025. He brought a striking-heavy style into the octagon so expect him to throw caution to the wind and bring the action on May 22 against Eric Soto.
