In the main event 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.
Co-featured at 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.
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.
