Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship heads back to Hollywood for a loaded BKFC 87 card, headlined by a featherweight championship clash that can’t be missed.
Seeking his fifth successful defense, reigning champion Kai Stewart puts his gold up for grabs against Marbella native Nicolas Gaffie. Stewart walks into the highly anticipated headliner with a perfect 8-0 record under the BKFC banner, while Gaffie has scored a trio of highlight-reel knockouts since signing with the promotion in 2024.
In the co-main event of the evening, Leonardo Perdomo will look to keep his ‘O’ intact when he meets BKFC newcomer Orlando Coulter.
Fans will also see the return of boxing sensation Rosalinda Rodriguez, who seeks her 15th career victory against the always tough Shelby ‘Boom Boom’ Cannon.
