Paulie Malignaggi is ready to fight again.
However, this time, it’ll be in a slightly different environment.
Per a press release, the former WBA welterweight champion has signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Malignaggi exits retirement to test himself in a different venture. A venture that the likes of former UFC fighters Artem Lobov and Jason “The Kid” Knight have recently signed on for.
Malignaggi is a former boxing champion with a career record of 36-8. Only seven of his victories have come by way of knockout. He had this to say about his new journey with BKFC:
“I’ve accomplished some big things in my boxing career, and I look forward to what this next phase brings. After a long boxing career, it’s easy to miss the limelight and the rush that combat brings. I look forward to getting back in action and the new challenge of fighting for BKFC.”
BKFC President David Feldman sounds very excited about now having a former boxing world champion on his roster:
“At this time in our company’s growth, we needed to add a legitimate and well-established world champion boxer to our roster, and I believe with Paulie’s ability and personality we’ve done just that. Paulie is the perfect fit for us.”
To make things even more interesting, NBC Sports Radio’s Helen Yee reports that Malignaggi is targeting a fight with Conor McGregor training partner Artem Lobov. Lobov will face fellow former UFC fighter Jason Knight on April 6th. McGregor and Malignaggi had a bad falling out after video of their sparring footage from 2017 leaked out online.
The pair have been bitter enemies ever since. If Lobov wins his fight against Knight, expect BKFC to capitalize on the storyline:
“Sources have told me Paulie Malignaggi is about to sign with @bareknucklefc and is expected to fight Artem Lobov if he wins his fight April 6. @PaulMalignaggi@RusHammerMMA“

Now that he has been released from his UFC contract, Artem Lobov will compete in bare knuckle boxing. ESPN recently confirmed that Lobov signed a six-figure deal with Bare Knuckle FC. Lobov’s deal is for three fights and “The Russian Hammer” will also be receiving pay-per-view (PPV) points. The first of those fights is with […]

Recently, former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping offered his thoughts on the matter in an episode of his “Believe You Me” podcast. Bisping believes Lobov is taking a back step in his combat sports career by signing on for bare-knuckle boxing (via MMA News):
“I think it is a bit of a backwards step, bare knuckle boxing. I do, it’s dangerous especially with bare knuckle. Ultimately, I think it’s great though that these guys choose to do that under these rules and they go and get paid.
“They can continue to make a living and that’s what I’m in favor of. Do I think it’s a positive step forward for the sport? No, but there’s always been bare knuckle boxing. That’s been around for a long, long time. It’s been around in England for a long time.
“Basically, since the inception of combat sports bare knuckle boxing’s always been there. I’m just glad there’s a promotion like this.”
Bare-knuckle boxing has certainly picked up steam in the past few months. Several former UFC fighters have participated in the sport already. With someone with as much notoriety as Lobov now participating, it will certainly bring more eyes to the sport.

Former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks is retired from mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.
“Bigg Rigg” last competed at UFC 217 last year when he was finished by young 185-pound prospect Paulo Costa. Due to issues with weight cutting and grievances with the way MMA fights are being judged, Hendricks decided it was time to walk away from the sport.
Although he’s no longer fighting for the UFC, that doesn’t mean he’s done fighting altogether. Hendricks is reportedly set to compete at an upcoming bare knuckle boxing event. FightBookMMA reports that Hendricks will be fighting former Bellator star Brennan Ward.
The fight takes place at World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation (WBKFF) on November 9th in Casper, Wyoming. The pay-per-view (PPV) also features a fight between Chris Leben and Phil Baroni.
Hendricks, 35, is a former 170-pound champion in the UFC. At the end of his MMA career, he was only able to win one of his six last fights. Perhaps the knockout artist’s winning ways will return come November.

As if the perils and inconsistent regulations of MMA weren’t cringeworthy enough, it seems like the shift to boxing is the answer to when shit really hits the fan.
UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock announced through a press release on his website that he’ll be duking it out against James Quinn in a bare knuckle boxing match, scheduled to take place sometime this April in the United Kingdom.
Here is an excerpt from the statement:
“Shamrock is in great health and feels invigorated by this opportunity to continue to compete and to continue giving back to his fans. Shamrock is going back to his roots as a fighter. Knowing his body well, Shamrock knows that his decision to re-enter the ring for the love of this sport is a sound decision. Shamrock adamantly believes that age should never be a restriction to any athlete. People can do amazing feats past their prime, if it’s a priority to them.
“Shamrock knows that bare-knuckle boxing is a sport with great potential to grow well beyond where the sport is today. His involvement in this sport is to show support and help its success.”
Now, apart from the hilariousness that is Shamrock building his entire website to announce this news, complete with sections devoted to limited merchandise, “Youth Outreach,” and “Shamrock’s Businesses” (including sections like Yes. I Am Learning The Stock Trade, the Shamrock Slam: Technical Fitness Drink, and Profit 101: Self-Defense & Fitness, all under the “Get Stuff” tab, we’re hoping this does happen (because at this point, who the hell cares anymore), yet we’re not exactly holding out for our hero…

Shamrock is infamous for no-showing fights, and other ventures he promotes. The former Pride, Pancrase, and WWE superstar is a repeat offender when it comes to ripping off promoters, like that time he was supposed to fight Ian Freeman, amongst countless other mishaps.
Truth be told, we still think he cut himself backstage with a Mach 3 Turbo before his bout against Kimbo Slice at EliteXC: Heat back in 2008. There was slight hope when Shamrock last resurfaced on Canada’s Off The Record, as he and Tito Ortiz were supposed to dish out dirty secrets stemming from the UFC’s business practices. Instead, it was like going out with your two friends that dated the same person six years ago, and one of them is still complaining about how they never got back that ultra-rare The Jesus & Mary Chain sweater.
Also, it seems like “The World’s Dangerous Man” isn’t guarding 50 Cent anymore, presumably because Shamrock actually doesn’t know who he is, or tried to belly-to-belly suplex Tony Yayo in the studio when he tried to pass the dutch to Fitty.
Ok, that’s enough …. on to James Quinn …
Revered as a bare knuckle boxing legend in Europe, Quinn is a fighter and author, and he’s been in his fair share of WTF moments himself. Below is a fight against another well-travelled slugger, Paddy Joyce, presumably taking place where Jim Gillespie shot I Know What You Did Last Summer (check out the backstory on the fight and the rivalry between Quinn and the Joyce family provided by The Irish Mirror):
We’re sorry for showing you the same kind of unfair assault you’d find on World Star Hip Hop, but this is journalism, after all.
On that note, pretty sure this is going to be extremely depressing. We’re waiting on another MMA website that will be previewing the contest and providing a detailed breakdown of the fight.
