Background
A BKFC Cruiserweight Championship bout between the BKFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lorenzo Hunt and Quentin Henry served as the event headliner.
In the Main Event, No. 2-ranked Pound-for-Pound BKFC fighter Lorenzo “The Juggernaut” Hunt (7-1, six KOs) and hometown favorite Quentin “The Hero” Henry (5-1, four KOs) lock horns for the vacant BKFC World Cruiserweight Championship. These two men have been on a collision course for each other since they first stepped foot in the BKFC Squared Circle in 2019. On Saturday the world will know with certainty who is the best cruiserweight bare knuckle fighter in the world. There will be no love lost and no niceties exchanged when Hunt and Henry meet on Saturday.
In the Co-Main Event, MMA legend Ben Rothwell makes his BKFC debut against fan-favorite Bobo “The Bible Belt Brawler” O’Bannon (3-3) in a super-sized heavyweight matchup. Rothwell joins the BKFC’s stacked heavyweight division after 17 fights in the UFC, with wins over former UFC heavyweight champions Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett and Ricco Rodriguez. O’Bannon hunts for his fourth BKFC knockout victory after “begging” for this big-time matchup on social media.
There’s no shortage of intrigue on the rest of the card, including a highly anticipated rematch between middleweights Harris “Sandman” Stephenson (4-2) and Kaleb “Lionheart” Harris (4-4), a heavyweight battle between Zach Calmus (1-1) and Juan Torres (0-2), the return of light-heavyweight upstart Ravon “Big Shot” Baxter (1-0) against Tony “The Way” Jenkins (debut),
