Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 3 to determine heavyweight champion
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship President David Feldman announced that his promotion’s next event will crown the organization’s inaugural heavyweight champion.
“We are super excited to bring our third show in a four months span,” Feldman told MyMMANews. “We are giving the fans what they want, which is pure fighting. We hope to continue to give everyone what the have come to expect from us, non stop action. As a fan I can’t wait to see these fights on October 20, it another great fight card.”
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 3 will be held on Saturday, October 20 and pairs tournament finalists Arnold Adams up against Sam Shewmaker.
Shewmaker defeated Maurice Jackson by way of split decision at the Bare Knuckle FC 2 semi-finals. Also, Arnold Adams defeated Joey Beltran via TKO (doctor’s stoppage).
Christine Ferea, who was to make her organizational debut at Bare Knuckle FC 2, will return to take on Jennifer Tate. Ferea’s fight last month was scrapped after the state’s athletic commission realized that her opponent had been knocked out in a contest less than 30 days prior to their scheduled fight.
Ultimate Fighter season 3 winner Kendall Grove who defeated Bruce Abramski via unanimous decision makes his way back to the ring to take on Marcel Stamps.
Also, five quarter finals fights are set for the night in the lightweight division. Reggie Barnett Jr meets Clayton Reynolds, Johnny Bedford takes on Lloyd Carter, Dillard Pegg is paired against Rusty Crowder, and Matt Murphy test his hands against Travis Thompson, while Abdiel Velasquez will take aim at Shawn West.
Bare Knuckle FC 3 will be held at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi. The event streams on pay-per-view via Fite.tv.
