Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has been steadily growing in popularity in recent years as an alternative combat sports promotion to the UFC. What sets BKFC apart from the world’s biggest MMA promotion is that it involves bare-knuckle boxing where fighters don’t wear gloves. Joe Rogan talked about an upcoming BKFC event in his podcast with Derek Wolfe.

As the sport has gained more attention, MMA fighters have started to make the switch to BKFC. The allure of a new challenge, higher pay, and the opportunity to be a pioneer in a new promotion has attracted many notable MMA fighters to the BKFC roster.

Joe Rogan talking about Rockhold vs Perry in BKFC

The upcoming Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 41: Colorado fight card on April 29, 2023, is a prime example of the trend. The event will feature two matches with UFC veterans. Luke Rockhold, former UFC middleweight champion, will be facing off against Mike Perry. Chad Mendes, a former UFC featherweight title challenger, will be fighting Eddie Alvarez, former UFC lightweight champion.

Joe Rogan recently commented on the event during his podcast and expressed his excitement for the event, stating that it’s a “wild card” and that the BKFC is “getting real MMA stars.”

Rogan also had high praise for Luke Rockhold, who he described as a strong competitor in his prime. Rockhold had an impressive MMA career before making the switch to BKFC.
