Things got crazy two fights into the BKFC 32 main card at the Caribe Royale Orlando after a fighter was DQ’d over repeated headbutts.
You never know what wild thing you’re going to see at a Bare Knuckle FC event. That point was underscored this weekend when a brawl broke out at BKFC 32 in Orlando, Florida after one fighter was disqualified for multiple headbutts.
The fight was called at 1:50 of the second round after Jack Grady landed a second headbutt on his opponent Ryan Reber. Reber, not too happy about the situation, threw up his middle fingers at Grady, who rushed forward to shove Reber. From there the fight almost got started right back up, but security and officials quickly filled the ring to snuff things out.
BKFC President Dave Feldman himself can be seen in the ring pulling Grady back. It took several officials to pin him to the ground before things calmed down.

While Florida is the wild west when it comes to their athletic commission allowing some questionable bouts to occur, we feel like Jack Grady is going to be facing some sort of sanctioning after not only the headbutts but the post-fight violence as well.
