Fresh off a buzzy event in Saturday night’s Bare Knuckle FC 5, company president David Feldman has announced his latest signing.
On Monday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio, Feldman said BKFC has signed former Bellator title challenger Brennan Ward. An official announcement is expected Tuesday.
Under Bellator’s old format, Ward won the season nine middleweight tournament. He then lost a challenge to then Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko at Bellator 114 in 2014.
The Connecticut native announced his mixed martial arts retirement last year and finished with a career record of 14-6.
Feldman also indicated on MMA Junkie radio he would like to match Brennan up against Chris Leben, who won his BFKC debut on Saturday night with a 25-second knockout of Justin Baesman.
