A couple of familiar faces from the MMA world will receive top
billing for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s next tentpole
event.

BKFC president David Feldman announced Wednesday on „The MMA Hour“ that Mike Perry
will square off against Thiago Alves
in the BKFC Knucklemania 4 headliner on April 27 at the Peacock
Theater in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, two former
UFC heavyweights are slated for the co-main event, as Ben Rothwell
will lock horns with Todd Duffee.
The event will mark the first BKFC event in California.

Perry has emerged as perhaps the top star in BKFC, compiling a 4-0
record with the promotion since parting ways with the UFC. Perry
has bested the likes of Eddie
Alvarez, Luke
Rockhold, Michael
Page and Julian Lane
during his tenure with BKFC. Most recently, he defeated Alvarez via
corner stoppage 2:00 into Round 2 of their clash at BKFC 56.

A former UFC welterweight title challenger, Alves will be making
his first BKFC appearance since 2021. The Brazilian went 2-0 in the
promotion, capturing the 185-pound title with a third-round
stoppage of Ulysses
Diaz in June 2021. He was later stripped of the belt after
being unable to come to terms with BKFC on a new deal.

Additionally, two-division champ Lorenzo
Hunt will vacate his titles at cruiserweight and light
heavyweight to move up to face Mick Terrill on the April 27 card.
