This Friday night in Oxford, Mississippi at the Lafayette County Multipurpose Arena, the purest form of combat sport, bare-knuckle fighting is back in a big way as the premier bare-knuckle fighting promotion in the world, David Feldman’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships returns to action with BKFC 11 Valle-Flagg vs Palomino
This card features 9 bouts in total and is headlined with an Inaugural Super Welterweight (155lb) title fight between Isaac Valle-Flagg and Luis Palomino. Palomino was supposed to fight The Bare Knuckle Beast 4-0 Jim Alers, however due to Alers’ head coach contracting the coronavirus, Alers pulled out for the safety of his team, fellow athletes, and most of all his family. Valle-Flagg is 3-0 (2-0 BKFC) as a bare-knuckle fighter and was more than willing to step up for a shot at the gold, and a piece of history.
This card also features some other very intriguing matchups including Elvin Brito vs Kaleb Harris. and the debut of 2 Island Fights veterans Dillon Cleckler and Frank Tate. While they never crossed paths at Island Fights, these 2 men are ready to take off the gloves and throw down to see who is the man! Another fight that I believe is going to be a banger is Will Chope vs Joe Elmore, which if I am correct will produce fireworks, and could steal the show.
The entire event will air free on Youtube:www.youtube.com/c/BareKnuckleFightingChampionship
