Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, the world’s fastest growing combat sports promotion, makes its hugely anticipated Canadian debut this week.
On Saturday, the must-see BKFC Prospect Series goes down under the bright lights at River Cree Resort & Casino in Enoch, AB, LIVE on The BKFC App. In the Main Event, Canada’s most dangerous woman, Montreal’s Jade Masson-Wong, battles Gabrielle Roman of Perth Amboy, NJ.
We checked in with some of BKFC’s most knowledgeable fighters for their Main Event predictions.
James “Get Down” Brown: Great fight, but I'm going with Roman all day. She's sharp, she's tough and the IQ is there. Masson-Wong has to make it dirty if she wants a chance. Roman, third-round TKO.
Zach "Shark Attack" Calmus: I love it when the BKFC females are center stage. Jade is on the rise, but Gabrielle is looking to make a statement in enemy territory! This is definitely a Main Event fight with Canada versus U.S.A. All I can say is, USA!
Blake "Big Boy" LaCaze: I like both styles that they bring; it's power against consistency. I like Masson-Wong in this matchup based on her power, but I do expect it could go either way. Roman is as tough as they come.
Crystal “Rugged Beauty” Pittman: I think Jade holds more power and Roman has better boxing technique, but I feel they both handle pressure very well. Even though I don't think Roman is much of an underdog, I do feel that she’s going into Jade’s territory to fight the No. 1-ranked 125 division fighter and that's a big leap. I have to go for Jade on this one but I hope the best for both warriors!
"Royal" Ryan Reber: Honestly this is going to be a banger and a close one. Both girls match up very well together!
JR "The Lion" Ridge: This is a great matchup. Roman has that fight in her and Masson-Wong has the experience in the Squared Circle. Both are strong competitors, but I’m going with Masson-Wong on this one.
Esteban “Mohawk” Rodriguez: No doubt Jade Masson-Wong is coming out with the win in her hometown. She's locked in and ready to come up.
Kasim “Caution” Ruffin: Masson-Wong all the way. She fights like she has bricks for hands and I love it (laughs).
Jared “Captain Deadpool” Warren: This is a tough one! I’d give the power edge to Jade and a more active edge to Roman. I think it will be a close decision either way, which puts a little favor on Jade’s side with her being the hometown favorite.
