John Dodson continue to stay active in his post-UFC run.
Less than two weeks after picking up a win in his Rizin FF debut on New Year’s Eve, Dodson’s next assignment is already set, and it will come with Bare Knuckle FC.
Dodson, a former two-time UFC title challenger, has been added to “BKFC: KnuckleMania 3” tentpole event, which takes place Feb. 17 at The Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, N.M. The event streams via online pay-per-view on the BKFC app.
“The Magician” will get a tough test, too, in the form of a flyweight matchup with former BKFC titleholder Jarod Grant, the promotion announced in a press release Wednesday.
Since parting ways with the UFC in late 2020, Dodson has gone 3-1 in his combat sports run. He made his BKFC debut in August, earning a 40-second knockout of fellow octagon veteran Ryan Benoit.
Dodson then headed overseas to fight for Rizin FF, where he earned a vicious TKO of Hideo Tokoro in less than two minutes.
