Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) held a fight night in Montana on Saturday and topped the event with a clash between two veteran mixed martial artists turned bare-knuckle boxers in Joe Riggs and Melvin Guillard.

The fight lasted just under a minute, with Riggs waiting for the perfect moment to tag Guillard with a straight left hand that sent him through the ropes. Guillard appeared to be in serious pain and remained on the canvas until the referee waived the fight off at 59 seconds into the first round. Riggs improved to 3-1-1 under the BKFC banner and said he wanted a title shot at whatever weight gets him a belt. Guillard fell to 0-4 and confirmed that he suffered a gruesome injury as a result of that fight-ending punch by Riggs. Per Eric Kowal of MyMMANews, ‘The Young Assassin’ was hospitalized as he sustained 5 orbital fractures that required surgery.
