Fight fans witnessed one of the quickest knockouts they’ll ever see Friday night (Jul 12, 2024) at BKFC Fight Night: Pechanga from inside Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif., as Ruben Warr laid waste to former UFC fighter, Robbie Peralta, in the opening seconds of their main event bout.
Warr, who has been average at best through two fights under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner, wasted absolutely no time throwing punches once the action started in the center of the ring. Peralta, who is a eight-fight UFC veteran, didn’t know what hit him.
It took just six seconds for Warr to land a brutal right hand counter. Peralta instantly went out and toppled to the canvas in a heap. The former UFC fighter stayed there for a bit, but eventually came to. The finish was combat violence at its best and a great way to spark this weekend.

Conor McGregor, who is now part owner of BKFC, took to social media on Saturday to discuss the lightning-fast knockout. “Notorious” was in awe of the finish as he explained how the fight began. See below:
6 Second KO in our @bareknucklefc main event last night! Our combatants do not start in the traditional red and blue corners before the bell rings they stand right in front of each other in the center of the ring! Behind enemy line, accuracy is final! https://t.co/iYVpsoG5pj
