Another former UFC competitor known for his brawling skills has signed on with Bare Knuckle FC.
Leonard Garcia will square off with Jason Knight in the main event of Bare Knuckle FC 7 on Aug. 10 in Biloxi, Miss., BKFC president David Feldman announced Saturday night.
Garcia earned a string of post-fight bonuses in the WEC and UFC for a crowd-pleasing brawling style. The most memorable of those performances was a split-decision win over Chan Sung Jung in one of the most exciting bouts in MMA history at WEC 48 in 2010. He was released by the UFC in 2013 after losing five straight bouts, and the Texas native’s last MMA fight was in 2014.
Knight, meanwhile, has found a home in BKFC after his release from the UFC. His unanimous decision loss to Artem Lobov at BKFC 5 is widely considered both the greatest bout in BKFC’s short history and one of the most compelling combat sports fights of 2019.
