BKFC 22 live and official results
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship returns on Friday evening for BKFC 22 and MMA Junkie will keep you updated with live and official results throughout the event.
The bareknuckle event filled with MMA veterans takes place at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Fla., and airs on BKFC TV and FITE TV. Two title belts are on the line as Hector Lombard looks to defend his cruiserweight title for the first time against Lorenzo Hunt and Luis Palomino defends his lightweight title against Dat Nguyen.
Lombard (3-0 BKFC) and Hunt (5-1 BKFC) will finally settle the score after their heated rivalry began with a brawl after BKFC 18. Undefeated under the BKFC banner, Lombard defeated Joe Riggs to become BKFC cruiserweight champion.
His opponent, Hunt, enters Friday’s championship bout on an all-stoppage, four-fight winning streak. Victories over Erick Lozano, Davian Green, Rob Morrow, and Josh Dyer propelled him into this main event title fight.
The co-main event will see lightweight champ Palomino (4-0 BKFC) attempt to make it five wins in a row, as he returns to action following hospitalization due to a serious bout with COVID-19.
Nguyen (3-0 BKFC), like Palomino, is undefeated in bareknuckle competition. With three wins under the BKFC banner, Nguyen will attempt to build off his unanimous decision win over Johnny Bedford in February to become champion.
