The most high profile event in the history of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship goes down tonight with “Bare Knuckle FC 5: Lobov vs. Knight.”
The card, which features a number of MMA notables, is headlined by Artem Lobov vs. Jason Knight in what will be the first post-UFC combat sports appearance for both men.
BKFC 5 takes place at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. The card is available for purchase via online pay-per-view through Fite TV and www.bareknuckle.tv.
Much is at stake in the main event fight. Earlier this week, Lobov got into a physical altercation with former boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi. If he emerges victorious at BKFC 5, a grudge match with Lobov is likely for June. Knight intends to play spoiler, though, and ruin any potential plans for a Lobov vs. Malignaggi match.
It all goes down tonight, with BKFC 5 prelims scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET prior to the main card at 9 p.m. ET.
