BKFC 96 Glasgow debut
BKFC 96 will make its Scottish debut Saturday at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. The event will stream worldwide on The BKFC App, giving the Glasgow card a broad reach as the bare-knuckle series lands in a new market. Friday’s weigh-ins also provided the night’s first set of concrete markers, with reported weights for several bouts. That includes the vacant BKFC U.K. light-heavyweight title fight, giving the Scottish debut a championship focal point. The card arrives with title stakes and heavier weight classes, and Friday’s scale results showed several fighters in place for Saturday’s action.
Christie-Ray title fight
The vacant BKFC U.K. light-heavyweight title fight sits near the center of the card, with Danny Christie and Stevie Ray both weighing in Friday for the championship bout. Christie weighed 174.6 pounds, and Ray came in at 175.2 pounds. The matchup gives the Scottish card a clear top-line bout and links the promotion’s debut in the country to a championship in a weight class that sits close to the middle of the lineup. The scale numbers also show how close the pairing was, with less than a pound separating the two fighters. That margin keeps the focus on the fight itself when the bell rings on Saturday. For BKFC, the title bout gives the first Scottish event a clear anchor built around two fighters who both appeared at the weigh-in stage.
Weigh-in results across card
The reported weights from the rest of the card include Leigh Cohoon at 183.8 pounds and Sean Weir at 183.4 pounds, leaving that bout with both fighters within a fraction of a pound of each other. Reece Heer came in at 263.8 pounds for his fight with Gzim Selmani, who weighed 261.2 pounds. Scott Malone and Kieron Sewell each weighed 135.8 pounds, another even match on the scales. Barry Boyle and Kaseem Saleem rounded out the reported list, with Boyle at 272.6 pounds and Saleem at 263 pounds. Those numbers show a range of weights across the reported bouts. With the venue and streaming plan in place and the title fight set, BKFC 96 moves into Saturday.
