Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship founder and president David Feldman is gearing for BKFC-38 on Friday, April 21 in South Florida, a regular stomping ground.
This is the fifth event BKFC has promoted at Hard Rock Live inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino near Hollywood. They’ve all been action-packed.
With the previous four each setting attendance records for combat sport events at the venue, another sold-out crowd is expected for this event as South Florida is a hotbed of BKFC fans.
Here is my video interview with BKFC founder and president David Feldman as he discusses BKFC-38, Hard Rock Live, South Florida, BKFC Fighters, Fans, International Events, Combat Sports, UFC/WWE Merger and more.
BKFC-38 was originally scheduled for Delray Beach in March, sold-out, but the city pulled out. Feldman and his team decided to lock-in a familiar place. Hence, the move a month later south from Palm Beach County to Broward County and Hard Rock Live.
BKFC-38 is headlined by an outstanding featherweight clash between former BKFC world champion Dat Nguyen and former two-time Bellator world champion Daniel Straus. Plus ‘Brutal’ Jake Bostwick, (2-2), of London, England, battles Isaac ‘The Honey Badger’ Doolittle, (3-1), of Manhattan, Kansas. Local fighters are on this massive card, too.
Speaking of England, BKFC is closing in on its 5th anniversary and is seeing extraordinary international growth particularly in the United Kingdom where they will promote its fourth event the night after BKFC-38.
One week after BKFC-38, Feldman is promoting the ‘Bare Knuckle Super Bowl’ in Denver, a huge pay-per-view event on April 29 headlined by Mike Perry vs. Luke Rockhold and Chad Mendes vs. Eddie Alvarez.
