Ryan Reber used his post-fight platform at BKFC Fight Night Clearwater to call out the winner of Jamel Herring vs. Nate Maness. The winner will fight for the vacant BKFC World Bantamweight Title on May 22 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California. Reber earned a unanimous decision over Joshua Oxendine in the five-round co-main (49-44, 49-44, 48-45) and improved to 8-2.

In the featherweight main event, Quentin “QG” Gaskins knocked out Matt “The Silencer” Guymon at 1:59 of Round 2 — one second before the bell — after dropping Guymon three times. Gaskins improved to 3-1 in BKFC, all three wins by stoppage; Guymon fell to 2-3.

The card featured a string of quick stoppages alongside decisions. Kat Paprocki defeated No. 4 Crystal Van Wyk by unanimous decision in a strawweight bout. Tony “TMURPH” Murphy scored a second-round TKO to move to 3-0 after recording three knockdowns in Round 1. Brandon Allen recorded a first-round stoppage in his featherweight return, and Mike Heckert stopped his welterweight opponent in 78 seconds.

BKFC newcomers Anthony Grubbs, Gabriel Hernandez and Terry Williams each finished their debut fights by knockout. The results highlighted a mix of early stoppages and five-round title implications as BKFC builds toward the May 22 title show.

BKFC held official weigh-ins at the OCC Roadhouse in Clearwater, Florida, and published the fighters’ final weights for the card.

The weigh-in page also listed Tony Murphy vs. Skyler Mauller and Mike Heckert vs. Justin Walters.

BKFC said the official weights determine compliance with division limits ahead of the fights, and that the weigh-ins served as the final publicized weights to confirm match statuses and divisions for fans. The organization posted the results to verify each bout met division requirements before fight night.

BKFC is based in Philadelphia and is led by president David Feldman, and the promotion is the first legally sanctioned to hold bare-knuckle events in the United States since 1889. The full card will stream at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET on the BKFC app worldwide, and fans may attend in person at the OCC Roadhouse in Clearwater.

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.

BKFC Fight Night Honolulu is being cast as a proving ground for fighters seeking redemption and momentum, headlined by former title challenger Doug “ColdRed” Coltrane and co-headlined by light-heavyweight Joseph “Dark Knight” Creer. The event takes place this Saturday at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center and will stream worldwide on the BKFC App.

Coltrane, a Smithfield, North Carolina native, faces Maki “Coconut Bombz” Pitolo in the main event. He entered BKFC in 2022 riding a three-fight win streak that earned him the main slot at BKFC 53 in 2023, where he lost to champion David “The Redneck” Mundell. Coltrane said that defeat came from overthinking and pressure. Since then he has returned to enjoying training, focusing on being free and having fun in camp. He called fighting in Hawaii “icing on the cake,” pledged to represent BKFC and make the Coltrane name memorable, and the promotion has presented the matchup as a career reset and a marquee bout for the card.

Creer, a light-heavyweight from Columbus, Georgia, returns as the co-main event against local prospect Ke’ali’i “The Saint” Kanekoa. After losing to Jared “Captain Deadpool” Warren in May 2025, Creer has been unbeaten in his subsequent fights and is aiming for his third straight stoppage. He said personal setbacks, including the loss of his coach and friends, motivated him to rebuild and refine a distinct style he believes is showing in recent performances. Creer noted he previously beat Ty Gwerder at the same Honolulu venue in 2019 under Bellator and said another decisive win should put him in position to challenge reigning champion Lorenzo “The Juggernaut” Hunt. Both fighters have framed the night as an opportunity to reset their careers and stake claims to bigger opportunities in BKFC.

Darren Till has signed a multi-fight contract with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and is scheduled to make his BKFC debut on May 30 at BKFC-90 at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham. BKFC has not named his middleweight opponent. BKFC founder and president David Feldman called Till a “tremendous and exciting addition” and said the promotion plans to time the debut with its return to England.

BKFC-90 will be headlined by an interim welterweight title fight between Connor Tierney, nicknamed “Brum Town Bomber” (9-2), and Rico Franco, nicknamed “Bon Bon” (10-3).

Till, 33, is from Liverpool and is a former UFC welterweight title challenger. His professional mixed martial arts record is 18-5, including 10 knockouts, and he has earned three UFC Fight of the Night honors. In boxing, he recorded a knockout of former BKFC fighter Luke Rockhold on August 30, 2025, and holds victories over Darren Stewart and Anthony Taylor. He had previously resisted bare-knuckle competition because of concerns about facial damage and has had a simmering rivalry with BKFC star Mike Perry. Perry’s acceptance of a fight against Nate Diaz has left the possibility of a future Till-Perry matchup open. The signing was first reported by Yahoo Sports and confirmed to MMA Fighting by BKFC.

Mike Perry accepted an MMA bout with Nate Diaz — announced by Most Valuable Promotions for the undercard of Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano on May 16 — instead of a BKFC offer, a choice BKFC boss David Feldman said cost the promotion a major opportunity. Feldman said Perry turned down BKFC’s offer and that the organization had a “really big planned” fight for him, but that BKFC was not involved in the Diaz deal; he added their relationship “remains good” while saying he wished Perry had trusted BKFC’s plan.

Feldman argued the Perry–Diaz matchup would have been better as a bare-knuckle contest, saying it would have been “100 percent better,” that marketing it under bare-knuckle rules “would have got 10 times the hype,” and calling the potential pairing “a bloodbath.” He characterized Perry’s decision as a missed promotional opportunity for BKFC and highlighted the perceived commercial and spectacle advantages of bare-knuckle rules for that matchup.

The Diaz fight was promoted by MVP, with co-owner Jake Paul fronting the promotion and emphasizing that MMA fighters would be paid well; Perry was expected to receive a significant payday for the matchup. Observers noted a victory over Diaz would raise Perry’s market stock, while a loss likely would not destroy his appeal because he is known for delivering exciting fights. The episode underscored the promotional dynamics between BKFC and MVP and the implications of Perry’s choice for his short-term future, earning potential and public profile.

At a sold-out Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship staged Fight Night Mohegan Sun. In the main event, Parker Porter stopped Haze ‘The Hooligan’ Wilson at the end of the third round, marking Porter’s fourth straight stoppage and improving his BKFC record to 4-0.

Porter, a New Britain, Connecticut native and former UFC fighter who entered the night as the No. 4 BKFC heavyweight contender, rose off the canvas before the ringside doctor called the fight. After the victory he told the crowd he wants the belt: “I’m not here to play around.” Wilson, who fights out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, fell to 4-2 in bare-knuckle competition.

Official weigh-ins produced the announced weights; BKFC described them as final pre-fight confirmations and published the full list while emphasizing the promotion’s return to the New England market. Porter weighed in at 251 lbs and Wilson at 258.2 lbs. The card also featured a heavyweight matchup between Guilherme Viana (257 lbs) and Joseph White (263.2 lbs). Other listed bouts included Pat Casey vs. Zeb Vincent, Alexandra Ballou vs. Taylor Dagner and Sophia Hayes vs. Nadia Moreno; David Burke and David Sanchez both weighed in at 188.5 lbs. The event aired on the BKFC App.
