On a night featuring multiple UFC veterans, it was Kaleb Harris who shined the most during Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC) 7 which took place Saturday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Harris took on Johnavan Vistante and delivered a vicious overhand right that dropped his 29-year-old opponent to the ground face-first. Vistante was attempting an uppercut, but unfortunately for him, Harris connected first.

You can see the replays below:

Vistante would announce his retirement on social media soon after:

“It was a good run,” he tweeted. “Had my first professional fight at 16. I loved every minute of it. It’s took me too long to realize that the dream of my children and family are more important than mine alone. It’s been real guys. I love every single one of y’all who have supported me. Thank u”

Other notable results included the main event which saw former UFC veterans Jim Alers and Leonard Garcia collide. Alers came out on top as he knocked the former featherweight down before proceeding to finish him in the first round.

Former UFC heavyweight Chase Sherman was also in action as he defeated Arnold Adams via unanimous decision in his second BKFC appearance. As a result, he claimed the promotion’s heavyweight title.

Helen Perlata also earned the promotion’s women’s featherweight title when she defeated Christine Ferea via unanimous decision.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has taken a big hit. At BKFC 7, Jason Knight was set to take on Leonard Garcia in what would have been a great fight. But, the fight will not happen as Knight announced on social media he has been forced to withdraw due to an injury.

“I suffered a pretty bad rib injury a few weeks back, I’m sorry to announce it, but I won’t be fighting (at) Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 7 in August…. sorry if I let anyone down!!” — Knight wrote on Twitter.

Jason Knight made his BKFC debut at BKFC 5 in April. There, he was taking on Artem Lobov in what was a phenomenal fight. The two brought the fight to each other and had an action-packed fight until the final bell rang and Lobov won by decision.

Garcia, meanwhile, is 1-0 in BKFC as he fought back at BKFC 4 and beat Julian Lane. The UFC veteran has not fought in MMA since 2014 and it seems like BKFC is his new calling. And, at BKFC 7, he will now be fighting Jim Alers, according to MyMMANews.

Former UFC featherweight Jason Knight is set to make his return to Bare-Knuckle FC action.

During last night’s (Sat. June 22, 2019) BKFC 6 event, it was announced that Knight will be facing fellow former UFC star Leonard Garcia at the BKFC 7 event. The show will take place from Biloxi, Mississippi on August 10. BKFC president David Feldman announced the matchup himself.

Garcia is a former UFC, WEC, and Legacy FC veteran who hasn’t competed in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition since 2014. He also competed in professional boxing back in 2005, suffering a third round defeat to Miguel Ortiz. Garcia made his bare-knuckle debut at BKFC 4 in February, finishing Julian Lane in the second round.

He’ll take on Knight, who was one-half of, arguably, the best BKFC fight in history against Artem Lobov in April. Knight ended his UFC run on a four-fight win streak before signing with the bare-knuckle promotion. He went all five rounds with Lobov, who took home the win on the scorecards via unanimous decision.

Now, he’ll be taking on Garcia in his second-ever bare-knuckle fight in his home state of Mississippi. No other fights have been announced for the BKFC 7 card as of this writing, but we’ll keep you updated.
