BKFC KnuckleMania 2 – Press Conference – LIVE STREAM
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) will host a press conference for their biggest card to date, KnuckleMania 2, on Thursday, February 17, from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 3pm ET, two days prior to Saturday’s pay-per-view blockbuster and will be broadcast live via FITE TV. Watch below.
In the main event of the KnuckleMania II, Combat Sports Superstar ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry of Orlando, FL will make his BKFC debut and be officially welcomed to the squared circle by arch-rival and BKFC Fan Favorite, Julian ‘Let Me Bang’ Lane, of Mansfield, OH in the middleweight division.
Co-featured at KnuckleMania II, BKFC Lightweight World Champion Luis ‘Baboon’ Palomino,
(5-0, 2 KOs), of Miami, FL will defend his title against Martin ‘Trey’ Brown, (3-0, 2 KO’s), of Tampa, FL. Palomino had an outstanding 2021 with two world title defenses, first defeating UK Bare-Knuckle Champion Tyler Goodjohn on June 26 at BKFC-16 at Hard Rock Live. He followed that up by defending his world title for the third time against former world champion Dat Nguyen at BKFC-22 on November 12, 2021 in one of BKFC’s most exciting fights of the year.
Competing for the vacant Women’s BKFC Flyweight World Championship, Britain Hart-Beltran, (4-2, 2 KOs), of Bedford, VA rematches Christine ‘Misfit’ Ferea, (4-1, 3 KOs), of Las Vegas, NV at KnuckleMania II. Their first fight at BKFC-5 was controversially stopped on cuts by the ringside physician with Ferea declared a second-round victor.
Since the announcement of his signing to BKFC this past August, combat sport fans have eagerly anticipated Chad ‘Money’ Mendes’ bare-knuckle debut. At KnuckleMania II, Mendes, of Sacramento, CA will face Florida fan favorite Joshua ‘Famez’ Alvarez in the lightweight division.
Fighting in the UFC over a nine-year period with an MMA record of 18-5, Mendes built a legion of fans while battling many of the sports’ best fighters including Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Alexander Volkanovski and Clay Guida.
The all-action ‘Famez’ was victorious in his first BKFC fight, a decision win over Paul Teague at BKFC-18 on June 26, 2021 at Hard Rock Live.
