Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship hits Salt Lake City on Saturday, December 2 with BKFC 56 Utah held at Maverik Center in West Valley City, UT. The fight card features a series of bouts, headlined by a highly anticipated clash between Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez. Furthermore, two titles are contested on the night. Several tickets for the event are still currently available for purchase.
Former UFC welterweight Mike Perry (3-0) eyes his fourth victory and looks to remain unbeaten in the BKFC ring. The 32-year-old of Flint, MI goes through the ropes for the second time in 2023, following his win via TKO against former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in April.
Former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez (1-0) also makes his second BKFC ring appearance for the year. The 39-year-old of Philadelphia, PA was successful in his promotional debut at the same event in April, taking the win by split decision against fellow former MMA fighter Chad Mendes.
In the co-main event, Ben Rothwell (1-0) goes up against fellow-American Todd Duffee. The pair squares off at heavyweight.
Among the title bouts, featherweight champion Kai Stewart (4-0) defends his title in an-all American clash against Howard Davis (5-1-1). Plus, flyweight champion Christine Ferea (7-1) of the United States defends her title in the championship rematch against Bec Rawlings (3-2) of Australia, following their first fight in April that ended in TKO due to doctor stoppage.
Also on the card, Arnold Adams (7-2) of the United States and Mick Terrill (6-1) of the UK go head to head at heavyweight. As well, Jeremy Stephens of the United States makes his BKFC debut at lightweight against fellow former UFC fighter Jimmie Rivera (1-0-1), also representing the country-host.
