On Saturday April 29, Bare Knuckle FC returns with a fight card filled with former UFC fighters.
In the light heavyweight main event, former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold takes on former welterweight fighter “Platinum” Mike Perry.
The fight marks Rockhold’s comeback to combat sports and his debut as a bare-knuckle boxer. Perry is undefeated in bare-knuckle boxing with two wins against Julian Lane and Michael Page in 2022.
In the lightweight co-main event former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez squares off against former UFC featherweight Chad Mendes. The fight will be Alvarez first without gloves while Mendes knocked out Joshuah Alvarez in his BKFC debut last year.
The card also features former UFC fighters Ben Rothwell, Josh Copeland and Bec Rawlings, who will challenge Christine Ferea for the women’s flyweight title.
