Houston Alexander was a prospect but ultimately would finish his MMA career with a 17-16 professional record overall. Notable, he fought against Thiago Silva, Kimbo Slice, Vladimir Matyushenko, Jan Blachowicz, Gilbert Yvel, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, and tons of others.
With over 20 years of professional combat experience, Alexander has collected greater nearly 40 fights between MMA and bare knuckle boxing. The US-born Alexander is proud of his lifetime achievements. He shared on Instagram:
“Remember that achievement is not bound by age. You can be successful and achieve big things even if you start late. All you have to do is to make sure you are headed in the right direction and are working hard to reach your goals. Just make sure you are concentrating on your own success and not comparing your journey to someone else’s achievements.”

BKFC brawlers Jack Grady and Ryan Reber got into a wild brawl at BKFC 32 on Saturday night after Grady was disqualified for intentionally headbutting his opponent twice.

In the opening moments of the bout, Grady backed Reber up to the ropes and intentionally threw a headbutt prompting the referee to pause the action. A one-point deduction was issued to Grady and the fight was restarted from the scratch line. From there, the intensity clearly picked up with Reber landing a blatantly late blow on Grady after the first round had come to a close, forcing the referee to issue a warning.
The fighters made it through a majority of the second round without issue. That was until with 20-seconds left on the clock, Grady once again backed his opponent against the ropes and delivered another headbutt. It was then that the referee had seen enough, separating the fighters and waving off the bout. Jack Grady had been disqualified. At that point, Reber approached his opponent and delivered his best ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin impression, flipping Grady double birds.
In response, Grady immediately shoved Reber to the ropes and ate an uppercut for his trouble. The corners of both men leaped into the squared circle to stop the impromptu brawl. Even BKFC President Dave Feldman got involved, rushing into the ring and tackling Grady to the mat as Reber watched from the opposite side.
Another angle of the brawl and Dave Feldman’s involvement in it can be seen on BKFC’s Instagram.

BKFC Asia has booked a showdown between two legends, targeted for March 2023. All-time kickboxing great Buakaw Banchamek will face off against Muay Thai legend Saenchai Saepong in a bare-knuckle boxing match.
Saenchai is a multi-time Muay Thai stadium world champion with an incredible record of 314-41-5. Buakaw has faced some of the greatest kickboxers in history including Nieky Holzken, John Wayne Parr, Giorgio Petrosyan, and Masato Kobayashi among many others. This fighter held world titles in Muay Thai and Kickboxing, including two championship wins at the prestigious K-1 MAX World Grand Prix.
The Thai-born athlete is recently coming off a bare-knuckle win as he earned KO victory in round one of September 2022 at BKFC Thailand 3.
BKFC Asia CEO Nick Chapman offered a breakdown of this legendary matchup during an interview with LowKickMMA’s Tim Wheaton, he explained:
“Saenchai has the best fight IQ I’ve ever seen. He’s a wizard … Buakaw is a beast. Buakaw has power, strength, his toughness is next level.”
However, the size difference is notable. BKFC will be having the larger Thai-born fighter cut weight for this match. And to help even the odds, clinch time will be reduced. Chapman continued:
“Buakaw is slightly bigger so he’s got that slight advantage. So Saenchai was concerned about the size. So I said okay. Well, we’re going to make Buakaw cut to 68.5 [kg], [Saenchai] will come up half a kilo because walks around at 68 … We’re reducing the clinch. They’re only allowed two-seconds and then split so Buakaw can’t lean on him and wear him down … Zero gloves, zero wraps, completely bare-knuckle.”
The promotion was also concerned that Buakaw and Saenchai may be too friends with each other. The two legends were offered a friendly exhibition match but they declined. Both said, they want a fight and will be aiming for knockout wins.

While Buakaw vs Saenchai will be under boxing rules, Chapman explains that there are future plans in 2023 to expand into bare-knuckle Muay Thai fighting. The BKFC Asia CEO is unable to reveal very much, but he did illustrate while speaking to LowKickMMA:
“It is something we’re discussing with the big boss David Feldman. Because look, bare-knuckle fighting championship, it’s not bare-knuckle boxing, not bare-knuckle kickboxing, not bare-knuckle Muay Thai, it’s bare-knuckle fighting. Which means we’re opening up to a much wider audience … We’re going to launch a new platform; BKFC Bare-Knuckle Muay Thai.”

Earlier this year, Australian bare-knuckle fighter Tai Emery created one of the biggest viral moments in BKFC history. She earned an incredible first-round knockout win and to celebrate she jumped on the ropes and flashed the audience.
BKFC Asia CEO Nick Chapman explained that he got in a lot of trouble for this. The BKFC founder and CEO David Feldman and the Thai Sports Authority both got Chapman in hot water. BKFC was forced to give a statement of apology and pay a fine. The fine, according to Chapman, he would gladly pay again.
In an exclusive interview with Tim Wheaton of LowKickMMA, Chapman said:
“Tai Emery is an absolute legend … She just expressed herself in the way she felt at the time.”
Nick Chapman also revealed the name and date of Tai Emery’s next opponent. The BKFC Asia CEO announced to LowKickMMA that Emery will be facing Po Denman on December 10.
Chapman said:
“What I will tell you the woman she’s fighting on the next event is a bare-knuckle veteran … She is the only woman to ever knock out a man in a legitimate bare-knuckle fight. She fought a guy and knocked him out … That is going to be one badass fight. So Tai, as you know, she can fight.”
See the full interview with Nick Chapman the BKFC Asia CEO below:
Thailand’s Po Denman is a dangerous opponent who is currently on a nine-fight win streak in boxing. She will be making it ten in a row but standing in her way will be the knockout queen Tai Emery.
Emery has lived a highly interesting life. Currently, this Australian-born athlete is living in Thailand and competing in bare-knuckle boxing, but previous to this she held jobs as an electrician, thermographer, and Lingerie Football Player. She loves BKFC because of the skin-to-skin contact it offers. While speaking in an interview with Calf Kick Sports, she explained:
“With BKFC it is so raw … I guess wearing gloves it takes something away. Like, there’s something so raw when all of a sudden I don’t have to have gloves … I think yeah having that grip and just like skin-to-skin contact is such a crazy, crazy thing.”
