Check out some of the highlights from Hart vs. Starling below.

Hart has now won five consecutive fights since a loss to Christine Ferea at BKFC: KnuckleMania 2 in 2022. She won the inaugural BKFC women’s strawweight strap by defeating Charisa Sigala at BKFC 29.

After winning the belt, Hart hasn’t slowed down, defending the title three times over the likes of Melanie Shah and Jenny Clausius. An up-and-down start to her bare-knuckle boxing career has been followed up by wins in nine of her last ten fights.

Starling’s loss to Hart came after a unanimous decision win over Jenny Clausius in the BKFC Prospect Series in January. Before that, she defeated the likes of Sigala, Hannah Guy, and Cassie Robb in the BKFC ring.

Hart’s star power grew when she defeated former UFC star Page VanZant at BKFC KnuckleMania 1 in Feb. 2021. She followed up the VanZant win with victories over Pearl Gonzalez and Bec Rawlings en route to the strawweight title win.

Hart’s win wasn’t the only standout performance from an eventful night at BKFC 63. Heavyweight Sam Shewmaker and middleweight Josh Dyer earned wild knockouts that sent the Sturgis crowd into a frenzy.

Hart’s latest title win came with UFC superstar Conor McGregor sitting ringside. The former two-division UFC champion holds a stake in BKFC ownership.

BKFC star Britain Hart continued her impressive run with the promotion on Friday night, earning yet another dominant win inside the squared circle.

Hart, who has won eight of her last nine fights, scored her fourth-straight win in the BKFC 51 headliner inside the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Virginia. Stepping into the ring for a clash with UK standout Melanie Shah, Hart retained the BKFC strawweight championship with a dominant performance that scored her a decisive unanimous decision victory.

Throughout the contest, Shah put her toughness on display, but she was no match for Britain Hart who lit up the Brit during the brutal 10-minute contest. Things nearly came to an end in the fifth round when Hart turned up the heat and delivered a barrage of strikes that sent one of Shah’s teeth flying across the ring. Shah managed to survive the onslaught but lost every round according to the judges’ scorecards.

Britain Hart first burst onto the BKFC after handing Paige VanZant a loss in the former UFC standout’s promotional debut in 2021. She has since added wins over Pearl Gonzalez, ‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings, and Charisa Sigala. Following her five-round destruction of Melanie Shah, Hart will head to Pattaya, Thailand for a showdown with Chisakan Ariphipat at BKFC Thailand 5 on November 4.

The event will be headlined by the long-awaited superfight between Muay Thai icons Buakaw Banchamek and Saenchai Saenpong.

BKFC 22

A thrilling night of action at BKFC 22 is in the books as Miami, Florida, hosted the heated rivalry between MMA veteran Hector Lombard and Lorenzo Hunt, which was warmed up by the ten previous fights that went down beforehand.

It was always destined that Lombard and Hunt would meet inside the ropes and trade leather after their viral confrontation at BKFC 18. Following Hector Lombard’s victory over Joe Riggs, Lorenzo Hunt proceeded to bull-rush into the ring. He confronted Lombard, which resulted in the former Bellator MMA champion throwing a combination at Hunt.

The bad blood spilled into the BKFC 22 main event, giving Bare Knuckle boxing enthusiasts the entertainment they paid for.

Lombard and Hunt got after it right from the off-set, throwing with bad intentions, giving each other no time to settle into the fight.

After the chaos calmed, Hunt was able to download the data of Lombard, utilizing his lead hand to gauge the distance and capitalise on his reach advantage. Which lead to the thirty-nine-year-old wearing on the scar tissue of Lombard, landing multiple clean shots resulting in several cuts. Hector Lombard’s experience was on display as he stayed in the fight, continued to walk forward, and landed heavy shots of his own. In the end, it wasn’t enough as the judges settled the bad blood crediting Lorenzo Hunt with a unanimous decision victory, recording his sixth win as a Bare Knuckle boxer, and capturing the BKFC cruiserweight championship.

Things got a bit physical when Paige VanZant and Britain Hart had their staredown on Thursday.

The pair are set to collide in the headliner of Bare Knuckle FC’s KnuckleMania event taking place Friday in Clearwater, Florida.

And Hart certainly isn’t a fan of the bare-knuckle newcomer as she got right in VanZant’s face during the staredown.

That led to VanZant shoving Hart’s throat before the pair started to get more physical until BKFC president David Feldman stepped in.

“This ain’t f*cking MMA, you can’t choke,” Hart said. “Get the f*cking rules right before you come into the f*cking game. How about that? Get the rules right. I will touch you first tomorrow.”

You can watch the exchange below (via MMA Fighting):

VanZant will notably be making her bare-knuckle debut on Friday.

She last competed at UFC 251 in July where she suffered a submission defeat to Amanda Ribas. It was the last fight of her UFC deal before she was released and ultimately made the move to BKFC.

Hart, meanwhile, is coming off a fourth-round knockout of Randine Elkholm at BKFC 14 in November.
