It all goes down tomorrow night (Sat., Jan. 25, 2025) at BKFC “KnuckleMania 5” LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Penn., but first fight fans can check out the final staredowns between some of the card’s biggest attractions.
Leading the way atop the “KnuckleMania 5” PPV main card will be headliner pitting former UFC lightweight champion and Philadelphia native, Eddie Alvarez, against veteran brawler and former UFC featherweight contender, Jeremy Stephens. Both fighters have shown a knack for inflicting serious damage inside the bareknuckle ring and should put on one hell of a show.
Adding to the mix will be a deep fight card full of former UFC fighters, notable BKFC stars, and fan favorites. This includes the likes of Ben Rothwell, Bec Rawlings, and current BKFC heavyweight champion Mick Terrill. Not to mention UFC superstar and BKFC’s part-owner, Conor McGregor, who should be screaming ringside all night long.
On Friday, the entire “KnuckleMania 5” card stepped on the scale for official weigh ins. Later on, they returned for the event’s ceremonial weigh ins (replay HERE), which featured last-second staredowns and a few final words of trash talk. Check out some of the key moments below:
