BKFC 6 weigh-in results – Malignaggi vs. Lobov
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship holds BKFC 6 on Saturday, June 22, live from the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida.
Former boxing world champion Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi and UFC veteran Artem “The Russian Hammer” Lobov continued their heated rivalry as they each had to be held back following today’s weigh-ins. Lobov himself got into a minor scuffle with a member of Malignaggi’s camp, kicking him from the stage.
The televised portion of the can’t-miss night of fights features Chris Leben taking on Dakota Cochrane, plus the finals of the BKFC Lightweight Tournament pitting Reggie Barnett against Johnny Bedford in a showdown for the BKFC Lightweight Championship.
Leben was originally scheduled to face Brennan Ward, who was forced to withdraw from the event.
Opening the pay-per-view telecast will be Arizona’s Joe Riggs, who defeated Heriberto Tovar in BKFC action in February. Riggs will look for another triumph against Tampa’s Walber Barros in a 185-pound fight.
