BKFC 81 is underway in the AO Arena in Manchester, London. All eyes will be on the main event as Australian powerhouse Matty Floyd makes his long-awaited return to face hometown hero, the debuting James DeGale. As one of the most violent promotions in combat sports, BKFC is ready to turn heads with action-packed scraps to electrify the night. But for the next few minutes, let’s look away from grit to glamor. 

Ring girls hold a special place in the BKFC, with the promotion consistently featuring some of the most stunning showstoppers holding up the round cards. The Manchester event will be no different, as Conor McGregor himself took to Instagram Story to announce that two local beauties, Maisie Marsden and Olivia Bracy, will light up the night!

Meet the BKFC 81 Ring Girls  

Maisie Marsden is a freelance ring girl based in Manchester, England. Not much is publicly known about her background, but according to her Instagram profile, she also works as a professional model. Her partner in the spotlight tonight, Olivia Bracy, is a more seasoned name on the scene. She has appeared at several major fight nights, including the high-profile boxing clash between Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde.

Also hailing from Manchester, Bracy boasts over 53k Instagram followers. Beyond her work as a ring girl, she’s a makeup artist and a successful entrepreneur, running multiple ventures, including Deville.co, a fashion business. She’s also modeled for Swimsuit USA, proving her success across multiple industries. Now that we’ve gotten to know a little more about the ring girls, let’s take a look at some of the most notable fights on the BKFC 81 card. 

Notable fights in the Manchester Bare Knuckle card  

When we’re talking about a killer Bare Knuckle card, BKFC 81 in Manchester has to be the one on everyone’s lips. In the main event, Aussie bike gang leader turned veteran boxer Matt Floyd will step up against England’s own James DeGale, making it the most anticipated clash of the night.

Beyond that, the co-main event brings another intriguing showdown as former MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers, who previously competed in Bellator, faces actor-turned-boxer Jack Fincham. On paper, the experience gap between the two seems massive—and that’s certainly true. But Fincham has already gone the distance with Anthony Taylor, fighting to a draw in his last outing, which proves he has some real capability.
