Former UFC fighters Artem Lobov and Jason Knight had themselves an intense – but still respectful – face-off on Friday ahead of their Bare Knuckle FC 5 showdown.
On Saturday night, Lobov and Knight meet in the 145-pound main event of Bare Knuckle FC 5, which takes place at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. It’s the bare-knuckle boxing debut for both fighters, who recently signed with the promotion following their releases from the UFC.
Also on the card is another pair of former UFC notables in Chris Leben and Chase Sherman. Leben meets Justin Baseman in a 205-pound bout, while Sherman takes on Sam Shewmaker at heavyweight.
