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.

Lobov took the unanimous decision win over Knight at Bare Knuckle FC 5 on Saturday night at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss. The former UFC veterans had a back and forth slugfest that resulted in a lot of blood being spilled on the canvas.

After the fight, Knight made it known that he thinks he was robbed of the victory. No matter who you thought won the fight, people who tuned in to watch the fight got their fix and didn’t feel short-changed of their money that they paid for this pay-per-view event.

After the fight, both fighters took to their social media accounts to show off the damage as a result of the bout. Both stars were cut up pretty badly as you can see in these Twitter posts:

Knight would later tweet, “I may have got robbed and not got W, but @RusHammerMMA on the way to the ICU may tell a different story! Much respect to him for a Great War! @bareknucklefc!!”
