Below are quotes from the participants;

 

David Feldman / President and Founder of BKFC

“It’s unbelievable to be where we are right now with some of the best fighters in the world. Luke Rockhold, multiple promotion world champion, a legend in mixed martial arts. Mike Perry, one of the biggest dogs in the fight game. Chad Mendes vs. Eddie Alvarez, Ben Rothwell vs. Josh Copeland plus an awesome women’s world title bout, Christine Ferea vs. Bec Rawlings. The card is truly stacked from top to bottom.”

 

“It’s the biggest moment in my professional career by far. It’s the biggest night for the BKFC, a phenomenal event. I can’t wait to see everyone at the 1STBank Center, we have a limited amount of tickets still on-sale. This will be our largest gate and our most viewed event. We’re going to break all of the BKFC records with this event. I’m very happy to be here and promote this event. Happy to have these men and women, also animals, fighting on this event.”

 

‘Platinum’ Mike Perry

“Look at my face in the face of danger. I’m in some danger here, the big guy is coming after me. I’m gonna get him, I’m going to protect myself and offend him. I’m going to upset him and beat his ass. That’s what I’m going to do to you, Luke Rockhold.”                 

 

Luke Rockhold

“I’m happy to be here, I think it’s the perfect comeback fight for me and the perfect step up fight for Mike. One of us is going to pass the test. And it’s going to be me with flying colors. I’m going to make you pay and leave your face nice and colorful.”

 

Chad ‘Money’ Mendes

“I’m just taking it fight by fight but I feel extremely confident coming into this fight. Obviously, Eddie is a top opponent, he’s someone who makes me very motivated to fight. I said send the contract right away and on Saturday night we’ll be in there throwing knuckles and trying to tear each other’s heads off.”

 

Eddie ‘The Underground King’ Alvarez

“I’ve traveled the world fighting the best in every promotion. I wanted to test myself and truly see if I’m the best in the world. This is a great promotional company against a great opponent in Chad Mendes. The best thing I can do is lay him out on Saturday night.”

 

‘Big’ Ben Rothwell

‘You heard him, he asked for the fight. He’s trying to be respectful but I have to take offense to that. I take great offense to that. Bottom line is someone is getting ‘Bucked Up’ on Saturday night.”

 

Josh Copeland

I’ve looked up to Ben for quite a while, following his career in the UFC. I have nothing but respect for him and look forward to testing my skills against him and putting on a good show for everyone.

 

Christine ‘The Misfit’ Ferea

“She said she’s been wanting to fight me but that’s not true, I’ve been asking for and wanting to fight her for five years. I want to solidify myself as the greatest of all time. I was the first BKFC women’s world champion and on Saturday I’m going to make sure she knows that there’s levels to this. You are getting knocked out, I promise you that.”

 

‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings

“I feel like this fight should have been made years ago. She called me out and here I am. I’m ready to get in there and actually have a willing dance partner this time.”

About Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle event in the United States since 1889. Based in Philadelphia, and headed by President and former professional boxer David Feldman, BKFC is dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of bare knuckle fighting, while utilizing a specifically created rule set that emphasizes fighter safety. BKFC holds all of its bouts in a revolutionary circular four-rope ring, designed to encourage fast-paced and exciting bouts. The patented BKFC “Squared Circle” contains scratch lines, based on the Broughton Rules which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century, and which requires fighters to “Toe the Line”: start every round face to face, and just inches apart.

In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay Thai are allowed to compete. The referees and judges are required to have extensive professional combat sports experience. All fights are held under the auspices and control of an Athletic Commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports internationally which claim to be “bare knuckle”, but require wraps, tape, and gauze; BKFC is true to its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within one inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest form of bare knuckle fighting. BKFC is dedicated to not just creating the safest, most exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle fighting organization in the world, it’s also leading the way for a new fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.
