Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship
The top of the marquee attraction is between the ubiquitously regarded number one ranked 165 lb BKFC fighter Joe Elmore as he knuckles up with Latin American champion Leonard Garcia.
Elmore has gone 2-0 under the BKFC banner, looks to go for the bare-knuckle hat trick tonight, and aims to show the world why he’s BKFC’s top-ranked middleweight.
Garcia looks to get back on track after losing to Jim Alers at BKFC 7 by returning to the form that saw him finish Julian Lane at BKFC 4 to capture the WBF Latin American bare-knuckle middleweight championship.
In the co-main event attraction, decorated gloved boxer DeMarcus Corley looks to make a successful bare-knuckle boxing debut against former title contender/ one of BKFC’s top lightweights Reggie Barnett Jr.
Corley has taken on names under Queensberry Rules like Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah, and Miguel Cotto. After over eighty professional bouts in the sweet science world, Chop Chop is losing the gloves and toeing the line for the first time tonight.
Barnett Jr is riding back-to-back victories heading into this bout and the 5-1 BKFC warrior only lost against Johnny Bedford in a classic for the BKFC and Police Gazette lightweight world championships.
