Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) returned to Canada with a night of incredible action on Saturday evening at the sold-out River Cree Resort & Casino in Edmonton, AB, Canada.

In Saturday’s Main Event, undefeated Edmonton middleweight Drew “Wild Boy” Stuve upped his spotless record to 3-0 with a 97-second KO over Will “The Brown Bomber” Santiago. Stuve sent Santiago to the canvas twice. All of Stuve’s BKFC victories have come by stoppage.

Stuve called for his shot on a future BKFC card in the United States in his post-fight interview: “I'm not here to play around. I'm here to win the belt. Get me to the States. I'm 3-0 here at home and you can see the support I have here. Who wants to see 'Wild Boy' in the States?”

The Albuquerque, NM fighter Santiago is now 2-2-1 in the Squared Circle.

Saturday’s action streamed LIVE worldwide on The BKFC App.

Unbeaten Edmonton product “Super” Chad Lucanas turned heads in Saturday’s Co-Main Event, stopping Tim “The Chin” Tamaki in the opening round of their lightweight contest. Lucanas logged a pair of knockdowns to the finish with just one second left in the first stanza. Lucanas is now 3-0 under the BKFC banner, with all of his wins coming by first-round stoppage.

Lucanas set his sights on undefeated BKFC World Featherweight Champion “King” Kai Stewart in his post-fight interview: “I’m going to go down in weight and play around with the 45ers. I’m coming for you, Kai Stewart. You can’t hide from me for long, my boy. I’m coming for that belt and I’m bringing it back to Edmonton.”

Undefeated Edmonton lightweight “Hungry” Hasan Al-Ghanim needed only 22 seconds to roll through Zach “Lil Mac” Pannell, winning by lightning-fast TKO in Saturday’s Feature Fight. The Iraqi-born, 155-pound contender is now 4-0 in the Squared Circle, with all but one of his victories coming by stoppage. The Lancaster, PA fighter Pannell is now 1-4 with BKFC.

Al-Ghanim took aim at the BKFC lightweight division in his post-fight interview: “I signed a lot of contracts for this fight against top competition, but nobody signed the contract except Zach Pannell, so props to him. C'mon, 155ers. What is this? Do I have to go down to 145 to get a proper fight?”

Ukrainian-born Sherwood Park, AB heavyweight Bohdan “The Iron Hammer” Kotok smashed his way to 2-0 in BKFC with a second straight, first-round finish at the expense of Brady Meister. Kotok recorded four knockdowns in the fight before it was stopped with seven seconds remaining in the opening stanza. Meister, who hails from Great Falls, MT, falls to 2-2 in BKFC action.

Columbus, GA cruiserweight Joseph “The Dark Knight” Creer climbed to 4-3 under the BKFC banner with a TKO over Kayden “The Giant” Giroux. The ringside doctor called a stop to the bout at the conclusion of the fourth round. Giroux, who was fighting in his hometown, is now 1-1 in his bare knuckle career.

Calgary welterweight Kimani “The King” Crawford improved to 2-0 in his BKFC career with a unanimous decision over Matt “The Hawk” Socholotiuk. Two judges scored the fight 48-46 and one had it 50-44, all for Crawford, who recorded the lone knockdown of the matchup. The Montreal product Socholotiuk is now 2-2 in the Squared Circle.

Edmonton strawweight Alexandra Delgado-Lopez upped her BKFC record to 2-0 with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Emma “Eazy E” Murray. Delgado-Lopez sent Murray to the canvas three times, with all three judges agreeing on the 50-42 verdict. Murray, who hails from Columbus, GA, is now 0-2 in the Squared Circle.

Edmonton welterweight Caeden “Prettiest” Scott climbed to 2-0 with a first-round TKO over Justin “The Nigerian Black Panther” Kennedy. The referee called a stop to the bout at 1:26 of the opening frame. Kennedy, a product of Toronto, was making his BKFC debut.
