The BKFC 11 lineup is taking shape.

In a press release recently issued, the promotion announced a handful of matchups for the March 14 event. The lineup includes former Bellator title challenger David Rickels, former UFC standout Melvin Guillard, Olympian Nico Hernandez, and more.

In the main event Hernandez, a 2016 Olympic bronze medalist for the U.S., takes on Chauncey Wilson in a Wichita vs. Wichita matchup.
