About Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle event in the United States since 1889. Based in Philadelphia, and headed by President and former professional boxer David Feldman, BKFC is dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of bare knuckle fighting, while utilizing a specifically created rule set that emphasizes fighter safety. BKFC holds all of its bouts in a revolutionary circular four-rope ring, designed to encourage fast-paced and exciting bouts. The patented BKFC “Squared Circle” contains scratch lines, based on the Broughton Rules which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century, and which requires fighters to “Toe the Line”: start every round face to face, and just inches apart.

In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay Thai are allowed to compete. The referees and judges are required to have extensive professional combat sports experience. All fights are held under the auspices and control of an Athletic Commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports internationally which claim to be “bare knuckle”, but require wraps, tape, and gauze; BKFC is true to its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within one inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest form of bare knuckle fighting. BKFC is dedicated to not just creating the safest, most exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle fighting organization in the world, it’s also leading the way for a new fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.

Uncasville, CT (Feb. 1, 2025) The red-hot Julian “Let Me Bang” Lane earned his fourth straight victory with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) in the main event of BKFC on DAZN Mohegan Sun on Saturday night at the sold-out Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.

The hard-hitting Mansfield, OH product knocked out veteran Cameron “Jumpman” VanCamp 54 seconds into the fourth round of their main event welterweight showdown as BKFC returned to the famed arena.

“This is my (expletive) house,” a fired-up Lane, (8-7), told the jam-packed Mohegan Sun Arena after Saturday’s victory. “This is my ring. I’m the King of Violence. Jeremy Stephens, Mike Perry, either of y’all can get it any day.”

VanCamp, who hails from Indianapolis, IN, is now 2-2 under the BKFC banner after riding a two-fight winning streak into Saturday’s fight.

In the BKFC on DAZN Mohegan Sun co-main event, New London, CT’s “Irish” Brennan Ward needed just 38 seconds to make an epic first impression in his highly anticipated bare knuckle fighting debut, knocking out James “Knucklehead” Dennis in the opening minute of their middleweight matchup.

“I’ve always had the abilities,” the former MMA superstar Ward told the roaring Mohegan Sun in his emotional post-fight interview. “My career has been up and down; my life has been up and down. I’ve been through a lot to get back here. Life is hard, it’s a grind. I’m your guy. I’m as blue collar as it gets. I’m a tradesman, I’m a father, I’m a fighter. I just wake up every day and try to do my best for my kids.”

The Great Falls, MT product Dennis, who was hunting for his third straight stoppage victory against Ward, is now 2-2 in the squared circle.

In the BKFC on DAZN Mohegan Sun feature fight, Omaha, NE’s Dakota Cochrane earned his sixth BKFC victory by taking out the previously undefeated Will “The Brown Bomber” Santiago , 

(2-1-1), via technical knockout in their middleweight bout. Cochrane (7-2), who entered fight night as the #2 contender in the stacked BKFC middleweight division, logged three knockdowns before the fight was stopped by Santiago’s corner 63 seconds into the third round.

After his victory, Cochrane called out BKFC Middleweight World Champion David “Redneck” Mundell, who was in attendance with the title belt over his shoulder.

“Mundell, let’s go, baby,” Cochrane, now a winner of four straight, told the jam-packed Mohegan Sun. “Sign the contract. Let’s go.”

Peabody, MA’s Rico DiSciullo made a statement in his BKFC debut with a five-knockdown performance against Quintan Foye in their featherweight bout. The fight was called off 68 seconds into the third round, with the technical knockout win going to DiSciullo. The Greensboro, NC product Foye is now 1-3.

Fall River, MA heavyweight Yorgan “The Mad Titan” De Castro turned heads in his BKFC debut with a stoppage victory over Bobby “The Zombie” Brents. The doctor called a stop to the bout at the conclusion of the second round, with the win going to the heavy-handed De Castro. Brents, who represents Springfield, IL, is now 0-2 with BKFC.

West Hartford, CT’s Parker Porter introduced himself in style to the BKFC heavyweight division with a 44-second knockout over Chase Gormley in their heavyweight bout. Porter logged a pair of knockdowns over Gormley en route to the first-round victory in his lightning-fast debut. Gormley, a product of Paramount, CA, is now 1-1 under the BKFC banner.

Denver’s Andrew “Legend” Strode improved to 3-0 in his BKFC career with a unanimous decision over Tyler “Rookie” Randall, who entered fight night as the #3 contender in the BKFC men’s flyweight division. All three judges scored the action-packed contest 50-45 in favor of Strode. Randall, who represents Hoosick Falls, NY, is now 4-3 under the BKFC banner.

Worcester, MA’s “Slick” Sito Navarro logged five knockdowns and picked himself up off the canvas in his hard-fought victory over Jack “Shady” Grady. The bantamweight bout was called to a stop at 1:43 in the fourth round. Navarro is now 2-1 while the Buffalo, NY product Grady moves to 1-4.
