Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 3 Author Paid Members Posted February 3 Big one for the bare knuckle fellas this weekend. I don't watch every bare knuckle show but I will always make a point of watching Knucklemania. Yoel Romero fell out of the Lorenzo Hunt fight which the big draw on this one which sucks, but the show goes on. Ben Rothwell vs. Andrei Arlovski - BKFC Heavyweight Title Lorenzo Hunt vs. Dave Mundell Ben Bonner vs. Tony Soto Jade Masson-Wong vs. Crystal Pittman John Gabarino vs. Kaine Tomlinson Jr. Mike Richman vs. Joe Elmore Pat Sullivan vs. Charles Bennett Patrick Brady vs. Bear Hill Matthew Semelsberger vs. Christian Fayne Zachary Calmus vs. Lex Ludlow Zedekiah Montanaz vs. Brandom Meyer That's your lot. Fight order all over the place more than likely and things may not leap out but look closer and it's full of recognisable names. Expect blood. Quote
Dai Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Haven't watched any BKFC for ages it feels like! Not sure if it's because the cards over the last year havent been as good as what they were previously, or because this is my only source of finding out it's on and the topic has been quiet. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 3 Paid Members Posted February 3 Rothwell vs Arlovski 3! Had no idea that was even happening. Not expecting a great deal from it in 2026 but maybe this one being bare knuckle will add a bit of a twist. Actually pretty cool that their series will have spanned Affliction, UFC and BKFC. Krazy Horse on there as well. Can’t believe he’s been around long enough to have allegedly knocked out Wandy backstage at a Pride event and yet somehow still be fighting now. Quote

I dip in and out depending on the card, the cards rarely fail to deliver in ring though. Mental sport. Believe there's some big annoucements on the night too. Quote
NeverYield Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I'm a big lover of BKB, and theres some belters that fly under the radar on the lesser known promotions as well It can be a bit of a spectacle at times, and some fights you just shake your head at and go wtf 🤣 But it definitely entertains me Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 3 Author Paid Members Posted February 3 Yeah, ive watched some BKB since they've been showing their stuff on TalkSport Youtube Channel. Quote
NeverYield Posted February 3 Posted February 3 if anyones interested in BKB from the 1800s and onwards I cant't recommend Pierce Egans 'Boxiana' series enough Its crazy how it was back then, 'the fancy' being made up of royalty a lot of the time, and people traipsing miles on foot or by way of horse and cart to watch a fight Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 4 Author Paid Members Posted February 4 Looks like Knucklemania is being shown free this weekend as well. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 5 Author Paid Members Posted February 5 He was meant to fight this weekend, it's been pushed back the UK show in March though Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 7 Author Paid Members Posted February 7 I am way more excited for this than i should be. Here's the Youtube link if you want to bookmark it, though its on Triller, Dazn etc. as well. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 7 Paid Members Posted February 7 (edited) Did anyone see the stuff about Arlovski having cancer? Apparently he survived it three times. I had no idea until yesterday that he ever had it. Edited February 7 by wandshogun09 Quote
Dai Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Yeah never knew that either. ChatGPT says the only time hes made it public was Feb 2025 when he had a tumor removed from his kidney, which I think didnt make it to this forum at that time. He seemed to be fairly active in his UFC career, so I assume its all been after this. Quote
