Chris Camozzi will meet Esteban “Mohawk” Rodriguez in the main event of BKFC 88 for the interim BKFC World Cruiserweight Championship. The fight is scheduled for Friday night at the National Western Center in Denver and will stream live worldwide on The BKFC App.

Camozzi, a former BKFC World Champion who lost the cruiserweight crown to Alessio “Legionarius” Sakara at BKFC 83 in Italy, said he wants to reclaim a world title before he retires and to continue enjoying the sport. He described Rodriguez as the most aggressive opponent he has faced, calling him wildly chaotic, more of a brawler than a technician and unpredictable. Camozzi said he will rely on cleaner boxing and a tailored game plan to “control the chaos,” framing the matchup as a stylistic clash between disciplined boxing and raw aggression. Camozzi enters the bout with a 4-2-0 BKFC record and is the betting favorite, while Rodriguez is the underdog coming in on a three-fight win streak with one loss across his last six outings.

The undercard features Ramiro Figueroa, favored after four wins in five BKFC appearances, against Elvin Brito. A heavyweight pairing matches Josh Copeland with Corey Willis, two fighters coming off recent defeats. The card also includes the BKFC debut of former UFC and PFL competitor Josh Fremd, who is listed with the shortest odds and serves as a betting focal point for the event.
