David Feldman – BKFC Founder/President

“On Saturday night, here at the AO Arena, BKFC will make its biggest announcement yet. Stay tuned for that announcement. It will shock the world, I promise you.”

“It’s going to be sold out here at AO Arena, we’re trending amazingly for pay-per-view sales on DAZN, and our media is at an all-time high, so I want to thank Manchester and thank these warriors up here for making it possible.”

“The people here are real. They’re real fans. They want to see fights, they want to see violence, and that’s what BKFC gives them. I want to thank them for all they’ve done for us and making us a mainstay in combat sports in the United Kingdom.”

Darren “The Gorilla” Till – International Combat Sports Superstar

“It’s a big challenge, but I’ve never been afraid of any man in my life. If you’re a real fighter, you’ll fight anyone, anywhere at any time, and I’ve proven that over and over again. Yoel is a beast and he’s been a guy that people want to avoid, but this just proves that I’ll fight anyone, anywhere at any time. I’m coming for pure (expletive) violence on Saturday night. I don’t like to mess about. This is the purest form of fighting; this is gladiator (expletive) from 2,000 years ago.”

Yoel “Soldier of God” Romero – Olympic Silver Medalist, International Combat Sports Superstar

“It’s the same philosophy for this fight; we’re blessed to be here. My opinion is the same as his. This is a great opportunity, the time for talking is done, it’s time to show people what we’re made of.”

“God bless everybody, and I hope everybody enjoys what’s going to happen on Saturday.”

David “The Redneck” Mundell – BKFC Middleweight World Champion

“The belt is coming home with me.”

“I’m going to go out there and I’m going to do me. I’m going to move forward, I’m going to put my hands on him, and I’m going to win.”

Jack “Little Lever’s Meat Cleaver” Cullen – BKFC Middleweight World Title Challenger

“This is a big challenge, but I’m here to take it — I really am.”

Gaz “The Crusher” Corran – BKFC UK Middleweight Title Challenger

“It’s going to be a win under any circumstances. Whatever it takes, it doesn’t really matter. Just expect pure (expletive) violence from me, and my opponent as well. This should be ‘Fight of the Night.’”

Mac “The Attack” Bygraves – BKFC UK Middleweight Title Challenger

“Gaz is tough, he hits hard, but I’ve put so much work in that I don’t see it going any other way. I’m too clinical, everything has a purpose. Get your checkbook out, because for my next time I want a big payday.”

Karl “The Wasp” Thompson – BKFC UK Cruiserweight Champion

“There’s mutual respect here, but I’ve trained my ass off. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Whether it goes one round or five rounds, whatever, it will be a brilliant fight and it will go according to my plan. I’m looking forward to putting on a great show. I’m dying to get on with the fun part.”

Andy Thornton – BKFC UK Cruiserweight Title Challenger

“When you hit glass, what happens? It shatters, it breaks, and that’s what’s going to happen Saturday night. I have no ill will toward him, but he’s going to sleep on Saturday night.”
