BKFC Australia return
BKFC is headed back to Australia with Fight Night Australia at the Eatons Hill Hotel in Queensland. The promotion has built the card around a live show and an international stream, giving fans two ways to follow the event. Tickets are on sale at BKFC.com, and the card will stream live internationally on BKFC+. The broadcast is set to begin at 5 a.m. ET and 2 a.m. PT, putting the event in front of viewers across multiple time zones. Fans can buy in for the live show or watch through the stream, and the event has both pieces in place well before fight night.
Heavyweight main event
The heavyweight main event matches Haze Hepi against Sam Shewmaker and gives the Australia card its top fight. Hepi comes from Gold Coast, while Shewmaker comes from Missouri, setting up a matchup between an Australian fighter and an American opponent. That pairing anchors the card and gives Fight Night Australia a clear centerpiece.
BKFC undercard
The undercard fills out the rest of the BKFC Fight Night Australia card with six more bouts. Josh Kuhne meets Elaiah Bishop, Jay Tonkin faces Asher Jack, Brentin Mumford draws Shaun Curran, Mick Whitehead takes on Ryan Winnett, Mario Loga goes against Alvin Kanahaiua and Hunter Ioane battles Nicholas Saragosa. That list gives the show depth behind the heavyweight headliner and keeps the event moving with a full slate of matchups. Each fight adds another piece to the broadcast and helps turn the card into a complete night rather than a single main event with little behind it. With tickets on sale and the stream set for early morning in North America, the promotion has a full event in place from the first undercard pairing to the heavyweight main event.
