Background
It’s BKFC Fight Week in Florida!
BKFC 85 is fully loaded and goes down Friday, from the legendary Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL.
One of the biggest rematches in BKFC history headlines Friday’s action as Austin “No Doubt” Trout meets Luis “Baboon” Palomino in the second Semifinal of BKFC’s World Lightweight Championship Tournament.
Trout is undefeated in the Squared Circle and is the only man to beat the former two-division BKFC World Champion Palomino, who’s widely regarded as one of the most decorated fighters in BKFC history.
The winner of Trout-Palomino II will take on Franco Tenaglia in the Final of BKFC’s World Lightweight Title Tournament in 2026.
The biggest fight in the history of BKFC’s 135-pound weight class goes down in Friday’s Co-Main Event as the undefeated Justin “Joy Boy” Ibarrola takes on “Royal” Ryan Reber. Ibarrola and Reber have staked their claims as the division’s top contenders with BKFC records of 8-0 and 7-1, respectively.
Undefeated heavyweight contenders Leonardo “El Zambo” Perdomo and Corey “What U Talking About” Willis collide in Friday’s Featured Fight. Perdomo has been nothing short of sensational in his rise up the BKFC heavyweight ladder, boasting a 9-0 record after back-to-back stoppages over former BKFC World Heavyweight Champion Arnold “Bomaye” Adams. Willis is nobody’s stepping stone; the unbeaten big man looks to smash his way to 3-0 with his third straight finish in the Squared Circle.
Friday’s star-studded action from Hollywood also features former BKFC World Championship challengers Howard “HD” Davis, Gee “The Cutman” Perez, Gorjan “GoGo” Slaveski and Christine “La Abusadora” Vicens, as well as an exciting mix of returning fan-favorite fighters, like Joshua “Famez” Alvarez, Ramiro Figueroa, Ja’Far Fortt “Knox”, Peter “D2G” Peraza, Julio “The Cuban Horse” Perez Rodriguez, Matt “Rambo” Russo, Samuel “Ace of Spades” Samples, Stephen “Tomahawk” Townsel and Chancey “Supaflyy” Wilson.
