Below are quotes from the participants at the Final Press Conference;
David Feldman – BKFC Founder/President
“It’s unbelievable to be here; it truly is. BKFC is the little engine that could and now Fenway (expletive) Park, man! We’ve built a monster here with BKFC — we put everything we had into this — now these bad ass men and women get to fight in front of The Green Monster. It’s unbelievable.”
“We’re here. We’re the next big thing in combat sports — Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has (expletive) arrived! On Saturday night, we host the first BKFC event in the state of Massachusetts in front of thousands of people in those stands and millions of people around the world. This is the happiest and most enthusiastic I’ve ever been for any event we’ve done. This is going to be unbelievable.”
“King” Kai Stewart – Undisputed BKFC World Featherweight Champion
“This is a World Championship fight in the most exciting sport on planet Earth. I’m grateful to share the ring with him, but I do believe that I’m going to beat the Boston (expletive)’s ass.”
“They all talk and they all fall, all the same. The King never dies, baby.”
Harry “The Hitman” Gigliotti – BKFC World Featherweight Championship Challenger
“The WWE act is almost over, buddy; your alter ego can’t help you in the ring. On fight night I’m going to break you down and beat your (expletive) head in. This isn’t a game to me, and I wanted to let you know that. This is everything to me.”
“You’re going to hand over that belt to me and you’re going to go home crying to your family. I’m going to put you in the hospital; I’m going to hurt you bad.”
“You’re a paper champion, and the act is almost over.”
Joe Lauzon – Former UFC star, making BKFC premiere
“I never look past the fight that’s ahead of me. We’ll see how Saturday goes. Maybe I’ll like it, maybe I won’t. If everything goes smooth, I’m 100-percent down to try it again, but we’ll see. I’m always open to opportunities.”
Christine “Misfit” Ferea – Undisputed BKFC World Women’s Flyweight Champion and BKFC Queen of Violence
“Nobody on this planet stacks up to me, and I’m going to show her on Saturday night. Nothing but respect for stepping up and helping me get another payday, but there’s nobody on this planet who will ever defeat me.”
“I’m going to break your (expletive) jaw and probably your nose. Something is waiting for you here.”
Sofia “Geisha Argentina” Landi – King of the Street Champion, making BKFC premiere
“She needs a lesson, and that’s why I’m here.”
Taylor ‘Killa Bee’ Starling – No. 3 Contender in BKFC Women’s Strawweight Division
“It’s an honor. All I do is be myself. I fight the way I am because that’s who I am. I’m going to be the first female fight at Fenway (expletive) Park, and I can’t wait to represent for the women.”
Rico DiSciullo – Undefeated BKFC Featherweight Contender
“Tray Martin is a really tough kid. He’s young and hungry, he comes forward with a lot of power. I never look past anybody. I’m 4-0 with BKFC but I’ve been fighting since 2013 as a pro, so I have a lot of experience. I think the fans and everybody in Boston are going to be the biggest winners on Saturday, and I think my fight with Tray is going to be the best fight of the year.”
Charles “Boston Strong” Rosa – Former UFC star, making BKFC premiere
“This is a dream come true. I’ve fought all over the world, but nothing beats coming back to Boston and fighting at Fenway Park. This is another feather in my cap, and a dream come true.”
Pat “The Gorilla Ninja” Casey – BKFC Middleweight Contender
“I’m looking to line myself up a title shot, 100 percent. I’ve got a big fight on Saturday so I’m going to handle my business and get a title shot. I’m going to prove that I’m the best in the division.”
Guilherme Viana – BKFC Ironweight Prospect
“I’m so blessed with this opportunity. Fighting for BKFC at such a great venue — I really hope that my opponent can fight as well as he can talk because I want to put on a great show for the fans. I can’t wait to put my nuts in his face.”
Robinson “The Wolf” Perez – BKFC Ironweight Prospect
“You ain’t touching me. You’re washed, you’re old, you’re done. This ain’t your sport. I’m giving you respect so shut up, be a good boy and let me talk, and I’m going to hurt you. I hope you come with the pressure early because this isn’t lasting longer than 30 seconds, I (expletive) promise you that.”
Jake “The Gorilla” Pilla – BKFC Featherweight Prospect
“I’m super excited. Us Boston boys are bringing absolute fireworks. I know most of the guys on this stage personally, and everybody here is a dog. I’m coming out to make a statement and lay it down with all my Boston boys.”
