Cage Side with Christopher James had a front-row seat for the press conference held by Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship to officially introduce and welcome former UFC star Paige Van Zant to the public last week at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida.
A good time was had by all in attendance. We got answers to questions, had some laughs, and saw BKFC 155lb Champion Luis Palomino and his next challenger Jim Alers get into a heated verbal, and a bit of a physical confrontation. We also heard from BKFC ambassador Anthony “Rumble” Johnson about his pending return to the UFC.
I would like to thank Justin Sims the man behind the camera and production at Titan FC for putting together this highlight reel for me.
