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.

Earlier today (Mon. May 20, 2019) Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov took part in a Bare Knuckle FC press conference.

The two men will settle their differences in a bare knuckle boxing fight from Tampa, Florida, on June 22. There has been a ton of animosity between both fighters in the lead-up to the pay-per-view (PPV). They have nearly come to blows several times, including earlier today.

Malignaggi spat at Lobov during their face-off today. Speaking with The MacLife shortly after, “The Russian Hammer” gave his thoughts on the incident:

“Yeah, he tried to spit or whatever, but lets be honest, I hate all this fake sh*t. Lets be honest, if we were left in a room just me and him, would he do things – spit on me?

“I don’t think so. He’d be broke up in seconds. That is a fact. It would take me two seconds to take him down and it would take me another two seconds to step on his neck and break it. That would have been it. But here, there’s a crowd, he’s tough, he’s acting this and that, talking all that sh*t. I just hope he does the same – he has the same intensity on fight night.”

Malignaggi hasn’t had a professional fight since March of 2017. He was knocked out by Sam Eggington in the eighth round of their welterweight bout from the O2 Arena. Now, he’ll return to take on Lobov, who made a name for himself in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA).

Lobov was successful in his BKFC debut against Jason Knight in April. The pair put on an amazing main event, which Lobov won via unanimous decision.
