Top 3 storylines for BKFC 41 on Saturday

Wednesday, Apr 26 2023 by BKFC Staff

It’s the BIGGEST Fight Week in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship history, as the superstar-studded BKFC 41 goes down Saturday at 1STBANK Center in Denver, LIVE on The BKFC App. Here are the Top 3 storylines heading into fully loaded fight night.

MMA Royalty Drop Their Gloves

BKFC, the fastest growing combat sports promotion in the world, has courted and signed a long line of superstars from the MMA world. On Saturday we’re taking it to a whole new level with the hugely anticipated BKFC debuts of former UFC champions Luke Rockhold and Eddie “The Underground King” Alvarez. Waiting for Rockhold and Alvarez in the Squared Circle are none other than former UFC lightning rod “Platinum” Mike Perry (3-0) and three-time UFC title challenger Chad “Money” Mendes (1-0), respectively. Two of the biggest fights in BKFC history go down back to back Saturday night – don’t forget to breathe.

BKFC’s Queen Defends Her Crown

Christine “Misfit” Ferea is the most dominant female fighter in BKFC history, and she’s hungry to add to her historic resume Saturday in Denver. A winner of five straight in the Squared Circle, Ferea tries to improve to 7-1, which would tie her with Britain Hart for most wins all time among female fighters. Ferea is already first all time for finishes among females, with five, and no female fighter except Ferea has ever won five straight in the Squared Circle. But standing across the ring from Ferea is her toughest challenge yet, Bec “Rowdy” Rawlings. Rawlings’ record is an impressive 3-1, with her only loss coming to Hart, the current BKFC World Women’s Strawweight Champion. Rawlings’ combat sports resume also includes 17 pro MMA bouts, including runs with UFC and Bellator, and she's ready to steal Ferea's throne. 

Stacked Event From Top To Bottom 

The top three fights on BKFC 41 have rightfully dominated the headlines heading into fight night in Denver, but Saturday’s event features a number of other can’t-miss bouts that could easily serve as Main Event on their own merit. Two of the top heavyweights on the BKFC roster – UFC vets “Big” Ben Rothwell (1-0) and Josh “Cuddly Bear” Copeland (1-0) – collide in a matchup that could send shockwaves through the most exciting division in the sport. Chris Camozzi, a 15-time UFC vet, is also back in action in his hometown of Denver as he tries to improve to 2-0 with a second straight KO in the cruiserweight division against the debuting Dan “Dragon” Spohn, a fellow UFC vet with big goals in the Squared Circle.
