We have seen all sorts of things happen in weigh-ins, however, the BKFC 24 ceremonial face-offs which happened on Friday were interesting, to say the least. Light heavyweight champion Lorenzo ‘The Juggernaut’ Hunt was to face off against challenger Joe Riggs. Things got wild as Hunt smashed a half-eaten tomato at his opponent Riggs’ face. 

Hunt brought along a tomato as a prop for the face-off. He proceeded to bite into it and then shove it into the face of Riggs. This broke out into a scuffle and the two had to be separated immediately before things could escalate further.
