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.

Brennan Ward plans on performing in his Bare Knuckle FC debut the same way he did in mixed martial arts (MMA) — swinging for the stars.

Ward will finally make his debut for the promotion when he takes on former UFC middleweight Chris Leben at BKFC 6 on June 22 in Tampa, Florida. And the former Bellator star, who has nine knockouts in 14 wins and has only been the distance once, believes this fight is also destined to end with a finish:

“If you watch any of my MMA fights, you know I come out hard, I come out fast,” Ward told MMA Junkie. “I’ve never been one to – I’ve been to the third round one time in my career. I come out fast and hard, I swing for the stars, get knocked out, or I knock somebody out. Nothing is going to be different.” 

Ward retired from MMA in 2017 following a two-fight losing streak. He was on the receiving end of a devastating flying knee against Paul Daley at Bellator 170. Then, he was submitted by Fernando Gonzalez at Bellator 182.

Ward has no plans to return to MMA for now, and claims his only form of competitive combat will solely be with his bare knuckles.

“If I’m going to fight, this is what I want to do,” he added.

BKFC 6 will be headlined by a grudge match between former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi and former UFC featherweight Artem Lobov.
