Tim Hester ready to rumble at BKFC 42

Tim Hester answers when opportunity knocks.

So when the former college wrestler was given a chance to showcase his skills in the BKFC Squared Circle last year by his management team, GOAT Combat Agency, he immediately signed on the dotted line. And he made a splash in his debut, taking out the gritty Christian Torres via decision in June.

Hester is 1-0 as a pro MMA fighter and a lifelong wrestler, but he says bare knuckle fighting is the best fit for his skill set.

“My boxing has gotten so much better. After my first bare knuckle fight, I think my striking was even better than my wrestling,” the Columbus, GA product says.

“I grew up fighting, so I love it.” 

Hester returns to the Squared Circle against Trukon Carson (0-1) in welterweight action at BKFC 42 on May 12 in Greenville, SC, LIVE on The BKFC App.

“I can’t wait to put my hands on this guy,” Hester says with a laugh, adding, “I don’t really like making predictions going into my fights, but if I see an opening to take my killshot, I definitely will.” 

Hester is excited at the prospect of starting his BKFC career with back-to-back victories, but he says that’s just the beginning.

“It doesn’t matter who I fight. I’m ready for anybody. I’ve gotta get through everybody to where I want to be, so bring it on.”
