Live! BKFC 56 Final Press Conference!

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is holding its final pre-fight press conference today to put the finishing touches on the upcoming BKFC 56: “Perry vs. Alvarez” pay-per-view (PPV) event, taking place this Sat. night (Dec. 2, 2023) in Salt Lake City, Utah. Former UFC fighters Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez will collide for the “King of Violence” crown in the BKFC 56 headliner, with fellow MMA imports Ben Rothwell and Todd Duffee throwing heavyweight heat in “The Beehive State” co-main event.

Watch the LIVE press conference stream at 5 p.m. ET in the embedded video above.

“Mike’s tough as hell,” Alvarez told Middle Easy. “A lot of people say, ‘Mike don’t move his head … Mike don’t do this.’ He makes up for a lot of the lack of his stuff with his toughness, his grit, his will – that kind of stuff.

“He cleans it up with that. But when you’re going against another fighter like myself, who has all that, and all of them boxes are checked, then you’re going to have to rely on your skill and your game plan, and something more than just grit and will to get you by.”
