Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

David Feldman, Founder and President of BKFC and Nobuyuki Sakakibara, CEO of RIZIN, announced the partnership in a joint appearance with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour Podcast. Today, we're announcing the official partnership with BKFC and RIZIN to produce shows in Japan and all over the Southeast Asian region. We’re very excited about this partnership and about partnering with a legend like Sakakibara. Nobuyuki Sakakibara agreed. “We truly feel the potential of BKFC. I do believe this is happening all over the world in the combat sports industry, is that everything is kind of being still and all the fans are looking for a new movement. They’re looking for new action. Same thing here in Japan, a lot of people are wanting new things. They’re wanting more excitement.”

A 10-year overnight sensation! We couldn't be happier to bring on a partner who completely understands the combat sports world from all sides. The epic journey continues.... #sportsbiz #mma #combatsports Forged Irish Stout Bucked Up Grunt Style

I might seem like I’m always banging the same old drum, or sound like a stuck record… But I’m going to keep saying it and the results are going to keep showing it. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is on a trajectory that has never been seen before in the combat sports world, with the human tsunami that is David Feldman and now Connor McGregor driving us forward that trajectory is only continuing one way. The UK & Europe is the second home of BKFC, our ambitions, plans and determination are only growing with every passing show. With our broadcast partners Premier Sports and brand partners such as Forged Irish Stout, WOW HYDRATE and SPARBAR® onboard, the growth and exposure potential for additional brand partners is enormous. If you are, or you know of a brand that would be a good fit, then let’s start the conversation.

If anyone wants to compare me to the UFC , I’ll take that comparison all day long. If we can get anywhere near where they went….if we can get half of that or 25 percent of what they’ve done, well, we’ve defied every odd in the world.” -David Feldman #sportsbiz #mma #boxingnews
