Staredown! Perry And Rockhold Get Face To Face

Drake Riggs

DENVER, CO. — This weekend (Sat., April 29, 2023) at BKFC 41, big names make their bare-knuckle boxing debuts inside the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado. Headlining the event will be the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold, who recently ended a short-lived mixed martial arts (MMA) retirement. Standing in Rockhold’s way will be a fellow UFC veteran at Welterweight, “Platinum” Mike Perry, who looks to continue his unbeaten streak in the promotion. The co-main event of the evening also features a surprise pairing. Another former UFC champion will make their bare-knuckle debut when one-time Lightweight titlist, Eddie Alvarez, faces off with multi-time UFC Featherweight title challenger, Chad Mendes.

Also in attendance at today’s (Thurs., April 27, 2023) pre-fight press conference were Flyweight bruisers, promotional champion, Christine Ferea, and Bec Rodriguez. Rodriguez will intend on snapping a two-match losing skid by dethroning the champion.

Also in action will be the Heavyweights. Ben Rothwell goes toe-to-toe with Josh “Cuddly Bear” Copeland.
